I thought it was 50-70 in WT but needed top 35 to avoid demotion mark? I guess i feel like a bad player compared to last year and I know other that do too but in reality if the top 20 flickers were gone I would be about where I was last year and at least have a sniff at top 10s. It’s painfully obvious we are playing at least three different games on the PGA with short swings, Xbox, and standard PS4 swingers. I’ll say it again to be clear, I don’t hold any grudges besides HB. One other thing, I was asked by a friend why I don’t just flick or short swing if it is legal. My only answer is my way feels like golf. I can hit my mark pretty well with stock clubs but loft or deloft near half or more I have no idea what will happen. It’s fun.

This is exactly the reason why I hated the original mouse swing when the only way I could play was a short swing of my own. I call it that cause that is what it was, not how it showed up on the screen. 1/4 inch back, 1/2 in forward. It sucked. Since the page came out it is more smoother, tho I had much straighter lines with the older version. Tempo issues are about the same.
Somewhere in the last 1/3 of the WT season, my TGC 2 game clicked on and I could putt. I managed to take #2 at the Open Championship, a couple top 5s and more top 10s. Ended up making the fed ex playoff which had 125 players in it and made it all the way to the final tour championship. New game comes out and it took me nearly 1/2 the year to make it back to the PGA. I actually felt that I could put up 4 competitive rounds back then.
In the end I was never better than top 30 ish. The run at the end of last year put me up to 16th WGR but that was more due to the fact that those above me stopped playing to play TGC 2019. Currently 52 and that is about right. Not expecting a top 10 any time soon now.

And this is why I play and don’t post. Same old sh%$, different tournament. Don’t blame me for playing the game the same way I played the previous two versions.

I don’t and I doubt others truly do either. It’s just so damn frustrating. This is all about the loft penalty. So when you post a clip fully lofting it strikes a nerve. I even asked HB to give everybody a short line. How difficult would it have been?

Let's be quite blunt here - how can any intelligent person think that Liam should NOT be banned, given 7 DQ's and his admission that he is deliberately trying to get round the API this week? It's quite frankly pathetic on his part, and for the rest of the legit players - it makes the whole TGCT setup look completely ridiculous. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ADMINS!!!!

I say let's just bring back the Irish. At least there was some comedy - despite some of it going right over my head at times - intermixed with the arguing during that phase of TGCT, seems like an upgrade to me! Also - SmilingGoats - regarding your last post...my reading of his post made it pretty apparent that he was bragging about successfully getting around the API by having enough swings that weren't too straight/consistent, which as we all know is one of the unwritten "no-no" rules around here, as it's a blatant perversion of an enforcement system that's put in place to ensure fairness (as much as possible) amongst players. It's completely unsportsmanlike, not in the spirit of the competition, nor does it hold up to the standard of mutual respect for others and the system in place that should be demanded of TGCT members - especially those here, on the PGA, a tour which the thousands of other players in this system strive to reach. Given the repeated violations of the fairness playing policy over the course of this season, and the obvious, out-in-the-open (and unprovoked) admission of gaming the API system, I would find it very disappointing to see absolutely no action taken. At a bare minimum, IMO, someone who comes here and openly admits to juking the API with enough swings made purposefully off-line or out of the normal pattern - with the goal of manipulating the players API data for the round, having the foreknowledge that doing so will give them the best chance at not getting pulled - should be removed from the weeks event...at a minimum. Just my opinion, but we don't need to overthink this or try to litigate it down to parsing out words, this one seems to me to be a pretty easy call.

Well, it seems the lynch mob has spoken so I have removed Liam from the leaderboard and deactivated his site account. Frankly, I am tired of dealing with him and his attitude anyway, so he's made his own bed.

Hit 7-8 times by the API and how many others just squeaking by while getting Top 10's doing it? Good call

Crap scenario Jeff, and we don’t make it much easier (probably me as much as anybody), but I truly believe that in this instance it’s the right call. Tough call, but a very fair one.

Frankly, I am tired of dealing with him and his attitude anyway, so he's made his own bed. Unfortunate that you see it this way entirely, assuming you weren't being sarcastic or joking. You asked a question, I tried to answer and provide an opinion based on my experience as a player here for the past few years. My intention was not to pick up a pitch fork and scream and yell for justice with an absolute, outright demand.
I know there's a lot of bullshit that flies in pga threads these days, but hopefully that doesn't completely erode the ability of members to put forth reasoned, sensible, well-mannered opinions of topics of controversy - which was all I was trying to do, sorry if it came off differently, I don't want to be a part of the "problem" around here...

Hello I was once DQ because of my short swing. Since I try to do the necessary never to have this problem. I admit that I had to train to understand what not to do. It was not easy and that's why I did not play the PGA Major. I think my features are a lot less straight forward but I will get used to them. I played very well this week but I was also very lucky. What I mean is that it's not nice to be DQ because of the short swing. Because in my opinion it's not a cheat but a way to play. It is true that it is already difficult to fight with the controller to keep the tempo and make straight strokes, in addition to that it is necessary to think to make a full swing But when I see the work that administrators do to make this game fair, you're right to fight to eliminate the bandits. We know there are cheats on all video games. But on TGC there is a real police! Some make a scandal about the scores of Rawesy, Blueorfe, Cusehokie and others, I rather try to understand how they managed to play as well. At present I have a real pleasure to play next to them ... Apart from that, I would like to thank my coach Fadgewaker who once again prepared me well for this event Long live the TGC
