Where are the videos/links of Liam's short swings? Twitch? Youtube?
Edit. Found them. It's funny because the drives look fine but the iron shots no. I have many short swings while playing my rounds but have not ever been flagged. I wonder what the difference is?

I play on the CC-Pro but I come to this thread every week with a bag of popcorn to watch fully grown men tear each other apart.
It's hilarious. Keep it up!

Pretty amazing from a first round front 9 of -10 to missing the cut. I felt something was off after missing eagle putts on #1 and #2 simply because I was an idiot. Had a tempo bogey a few holes later but finished in good position to make the cut, then on the last few holes tempo went all to hell. Was -7 after 16 and just wanted to par out to safely make the cut, concentrated on the tempo but pushed it right. Water. Double bogey and now I needed an eagle to get me some minuscule amount of respect back and tried a stupid shot, water and I'm moving on to next week. This is basically what happened to me on the Euro. Play a fantastic tournament, come in top 5, heck even win one and then promptly miss two of the next three cuts and lose all those promotion marks. That is why it took me so long to get to the PGA. Consistency is my Achilles heel. When the tempo starts going I just don't seem to have the capability to salvage a round and fight through it. I can be shooting lights out and get one or two off-tempo shots and the whole round is kaput. I'm going to the bar and spend last weeks prize money.
Looking at this thread in a way I wish I shot so well that my only worry was whether the API would ding me this week or not. I know first world problems. Cheers!

Was going along OK, probably would have finished -24 after two rounds as I was -23 playing the par 5.
Then the random HB BS came into full flow - not one but two 9 o'clock very fast downswings out of nowhere into the wet stuff. Not only did I find the water twice, I couldn't even drop onto the front tee which was the first bit of land you should come to if you move the marker back with any kind of dropping logic. Instead it takes me miles left to open water and goes to no land whatsoever.
HB, take a bow 👏

I had a couple of tempo shots completely out of the blue, like in the first round on #16, not only giving my first slow downswing of the entire round which might have been fine but the slow backswing, also a first in the round, dropped it dead in to the water. The blue circle said it wasn't even close and probably could have been a VS downswing so an obvious hiccup. Same on #17 and #18 in the second round.

-21 thru 2. I've left a ton of strokes on the course due to missed putts and slow downswings. Really the downfall. 3rd round was worse at -8. Hopefully I can destroy the 4th round, in a good way lol. Not the way I was trying to follow up my T11 in the PGA championship. Good luck to all still out there. Course conditions changes have been interesting and keep you on your toes. Well done by the admins and course designers. Having some lag issues on holes with the waterfalls. Seen others comment on that so at least we're not alone.
I don't have my charts like some of you but I know my lines are all over the place. Some of it I think is my own self trying to self correct when I'm uncommitted to my line and have a last second change of heart on where it should be lol.
Also, seen some comments on this thread about potentially making everyone use pro clubs for the tour. I think that's a bad idea and that's coming from an XB1 player. I like the challenge of trying to play very well even with a smaller margin for error. If the game was shooting like -15 to -18 every round it would take some joy out of it. Just my opinion though.

-44 Imagine that puts me well outside the top-10 from ps4 guys (and maybe outside top 20/25), but I'll take it based on my PC competition, I guess...finding more and more weeks that fall into that category, but it's all good. Really enjoyed some parts of the course/setup, found other's to be a bit redundant and arcadey - but this is a video game, after all, so guess that should be expected GL to everyone left to finish up!

Played too poorly in round 2 to really compete, but pleased to possibly get back up in the top 10 since I've been on the outside looking in since the matchplay.

Last round scores struggled to make -10 so iirc -48 is around the top. I’ll check later and update.

I feel that tgc should suspend or demote players who repeatedly fail the api week in n week out. Taking ranking points n fed ex off legit players who play n pass regulations. I happily ban them from society’s n have mates do the same or to the players who shred society’s but can’t make the cut on tour. Failing on Xbox and on PS4 god knows how many times n been caught chipping on greens. N come here for sympathy haha kidding yourself. Not to mention private messaging me n asking me to teach my putting methods n will teach me to hit straight? Yeah na I’ll take my wonky swings n pass each week. Well done to winners this week. Rd3 Hurt me with slow greens.

I made it to -44 as well, hoping it makes the top 10. It would be my first of the season outside of the secondary events.
