Played the first 2 rounds early for some reason, guess I just got a bit bored this afternoon. Anyway, ahead of Jacko heading into round 3 for a change, he's been kicking my ass lately Followed you in a practice round. You hit some nice shots and putts. Something weird has happened with my old mouse as I've gone from usually getting slow downswings to fast downswings. Don't get me wrong, of the two I would definitely prefer faster downswings, especially off tee shots, it is just that I find it odd that before I had to really cook the mouse forward to get a fast downswing and now it feels like I'm having to slow down my downswing just to get it to perfect. Only change in the machine was adding the newer mouse. Since they are two different brands there shouldn't be a conflict but something has changed. Normally changes are for the worse but I think this might be one for the better. PCs are suck fickle beasts.
If I got a group of guys to all donate towards your very own PS4, would you stop complaining about driver updates and mouse sensitivity? I think we have momentum to make something happen. Let me know.

Let me know. Honestly if I could use a controller I would. I have a dualshock PS4 controller. Sadly after several operations on my right hand I simply cannot use it for any amount of time, otherwise I probably would have switched back in TGC 2 first came out. Tried left handed but that is even worse. During the beta test, tempo was much easier, with the controller and putting/chipping was so much better. I wasn't really straight but that would come with time. Anyway I tried many times to make the switch. Just isn't meant to be.
The mouse also seems more of a 'realistic' swing but from a competitive standpoint, controllers are the way to go.

That first round was brutal! Especially when I could barely hit a straight drive. Playing out of 75% rough on 500yd+ Par 4's does not add up to a good score. Somehow managed -5 for the round, which was a miracle given my inaccuracy. Got -9 for Round 2 which was steady enough, with much easier pins and conditions. I reckon -14 has a reasonable chance of making the cut, so instead of doing all 4 rounds I'll sit until Friday to see if I squeak through. Course wise, this week, it's all about hitting the fairways, play from the short stuff and you'll OK. Don't see many breaking -40 this week. Good luck all!

Played my first 2 to see what this all about. Felt pretty mediocre overall but I'm in good company at -20. It's tough out there to be sure

So I aced 14 to get to -35, 1 off ps4 lead. Then birdie birdie 15 and 16. Then and wouldn't you know it, bogey bogey for the crash and burn. Turns out I can't handle the pressure up here. No controllers were harmed in the making of this interesting sequence of events.

Didn't have much of a problem with those pins. I've always hated hole 5 where the trees just block nearly the entire green. Was my only bogey of the tournament. Putted well and kept it in the fairway which was the main recipe at this place. -36 Good luck to all who have yet to finish.

Think I finished like -35 or something. I played the back 9 so poorly in all 4 rounds for some reason. Round 4 was just brutal and I was worn out by that point.

Two rounds of -5. Complete swing randomness again this week with Tempo all over the place...very fast downswings were in abundance and a good number of slow backswings as well. Myeh. Not finding it fun any more tbh. 🤔

Not finding it fun any more tbh. 🤔 Same, tempo is all over the place and mix in some 95% swings and it’s all but impossible. Just started happening in the last few weeks. Contemplating taking a leave.
