Lmao started cold, not warmed up, and not relaxed enough leads to hitting it to straight thats a gd 1, also im sure the people failing api non stop are just as frustrated as the people watching them either finish top ten or fail api, so much so they try the same swing the following week to see if they can gain some more info on how to stop failing api.
made cut again so great game great course again

Right there with you buddy. My second ever missed cut. First time I blamed it on clanking a flag stick with a wedge. Today I had a zillion fast downswings. Missing fairways, water, you name it. Not an easy course to score at with these greens and no light rough. Maybe if I played more i would have better tempo but my heart ain’t in it anymore. Your bad day on ps4 = 25 non perfect downswing tempos over 2 rounds (with no VF or VS) Best score on XB1 through 2 rounds = 32 non-perfect downswings (including VF and VS) So your bad day at the office was much better than the best XB1 score tempo wise - though he did manage to shoot 1 shot lower. Thats ridiculous, kudos to the xbox guys on pga that still play every week with that disadvantage

Thats ridiculous, kudos to the xbox guys on pga that still play every week with that disadvantage Thanks man! Honestly though, I really feel that XB1 guys can compete. I've said it a few times that the margin for error is lower for sure, but doesn't mean it's impossible. I know it's not easy and I know there's some frustrations in the XB1 ranks, but instead of complaining about something we can't necessarily control, we just have to find ways to make some improvements where we can. Things such as being better putters and making sure your short game is in order. Eliminating bogies as much as possible by scrambling well. Those types of things. Those things can improve our overall game and then who knows what's possible? B.Smooth13 is the #3 on the world and he played on PC and one of the best players out there. Competition can happen. Everyone loves an underdog story right?

Maybe not having heavy rough with skinny fairways on courses to the end of season may make it more manageable for them because the best players on this game are not missing fairways so the only people that are getting punished for missing a fairway are people that suffer tempo issues then to have a 75% lie with no chance at hitting green is a double punishment, where if the had a 95% lie at least they could recover and maybe get on the green. thats why i thought harbour town was a gd course because yeah had some awkward trees in spots but if you missed a fairway at least you had a shot a the green.

I’m sure part of the reason XBox guys score better than guys on PC or PS with a comparable tempo % is that we expect it and allow when setting up a shot. Can’t remember the last time I had a flop that was perfect perfect, so I aim short right knowing it’s likely to be fast. Wish I had the tempo I have with a fully lofted driver for short irons, they are an absolute raffle of fasts, slows and perfects - just rarely the one you allow for.
The guys who have been around a while know anyone playing Web or Euro on XBox can play a bit I think.

That’s why I really struggled this week. My fairways were atrocious. I went on to play R3 and had some momentum but was still all over. Played a round the other day and was fine. Golf Gods? 🤷🏼♂️

Easy there boyo, you need to start making cuts more regularly before you can join the elite Medium Player club! Blame AFCTUJacko - he told me in another thread that I was apparently a medium player (after I stated I was actually shhiiiiiiiiittttttt like gavlaar124 ) Take no notice of me, with my possible two Top 10's in a row i have shredded my Medium Player membership card and well and truly joined the elite.
In fact, i have learnt this week that achieving such things on the PC actually makes me some kind of God

And on top of that, apparently you can tune your tempo if you use a mouse on PC. I’m so dirty I missed the first couple of seasons. I joined for the last year of TGC1 and was looking like making the top 50 when I filled my 40 weeks of results up, then TGC2 came out 😒 You were the Machine™️, Brad was junior and Euro was the place to be. I miss those days. Imagine TGC1 swing mechanics and platform equality with reduced loft so the answer to a shot between a 7 & 8 iron isn’t a fully lofted 3 iron lol. Keep the graphics upgrades and short game improvements and we’d have a killer tour again. Could have it next week if they made it Pro clubs for everyone... Thought a second derailment was due...

You’ve certainly been showing me the ropes the past several weeks!

IF you short swing, the data collected by HB now and that is sent to TGCTours is a big fat "0" and the API interprets as a inhuman dead straight swing... It wasn't like that in the previous games. So as I said since I've been swinging that way since my PS3 days, must be over 10 years, sometimes when I thighten up that short swing creeps back up in my game. That's what happened this week and I could see it myself so I wasn't to supprised about the outcome. Maybe for you when you get "tense" you start swinging all over the place, I don't know, but for me my swing gets shorter! And for those who don't think that I'm trying to fix that... ask pro golfers that have the "yips" if they're not trying to fix it and how much sucess they have doing so? Here are my 2 rounds if you care to watch, it's not like I'm hidding something here! Wells Fargo Rounds 1 & 2

How hard is it to pull the stick all the way back and push it all the way forward?
Of course your swing is going to be all over the place to start, but at least you’ll be playing the game the way everyone else (who doesn’t exploit the short swing cheat) does, and end up on the appropriate tour for your true skill level.

Not finished my rounds yet, so gonna guess at something like -8, -7 for an entirely satisfactory medium player finish. Also predicting I still enjoyed the course and I’d wish those still to play “good luck”, while secretly not meaning it.

Of course your swing is going to be all over the place to start, but at least you’ll be playing the game the way everyone else (who doesn’t exploit the short swing cheat) does, and end up on the appropriate tour for your true skill level. Funny... I mentionned countless times that it's far from a 100% that you'll get a completed swing in the HUD even if you it the front plastic part of the controller. Try a light grip, as in very light, and you'll see what I mean. The DS4 just donesn't always register it. On good days I get a swing multiple lines that go past 3/4 and rebounds back, kind of a double line. Still don't know how the API interprets those. Asked, but no reply yet! Btw, do you play golf Ray? When's the last time a coach told to apply quite a bit of pressure with your grip, try to guide your club and keep accelerating way way past impact to execute a great golf swing? Seems to me it's more like keep your grip very light, accelerate thru impact and let the club to the work! Also, if the company making the game when asked specifically about shorter swings and said that the swing won't be update since it's working the way they intented to, why would you call it a "cheat"? Cause like many people that tried it you can't control it? Just asking?

Sh!t ain’t right. And on top of that, apparently you can tune your tempo if you use a mouse on PC. Oh if ONLY it were as easy as you make it sound. A full swing on a controller is what, 1 inch back, 2 inches forward? Try doing that consistently on a mouse. We don't have bumpers that stop the mouse and prevents us from going any further. With a controller if you are taking a full swing you have to just worry about the speed in which you move the stick and the transition. On a mouse you not only have to worry about the speed and the transition, but you also have to be able to move the mouse within the same distance on each shot without those guide rails and training wheels!
