-10 -10 -13 -9 -42 total if -20 makes cut. Disappointing last round after a decent start but Iβll take -42. Enjoyed the course. Good risk and reward holes and slopes you can utilise to your advantage if played correctly. ππ»ππ»

I like the course because it gives you options off the tee. Not all of us can hit where we aim it. There is risk reward to aggressive lines.
The tempo bug paid me a visit on a few. Long and left on approaches with those hard breaking downhillers because youβre above the hole. Really hate the game when that happens. I just want TGC2 with the chipping and multiplayer of 2019! Is that so much to ask?!
Got really trolled in R3. Battled back in R4. Had the silliest up and down on 6.

Sorry if I invade the PGA thread, but I just wish to congratulate (even if "a bit" late, I know) with wmr5277 for the victory at The Open. Well deserved!

Not certain, but I think I went up clubs instead of down clubs on #15. Flew the grean by 30 ydsπ I would advise against doing that. Had a glorious front 9 coming in at -8. Had one other mishap on the back and balanced the 2 bogies with 2 eagles for a -4. So a -12 in the books for round 1, well above my Flight B expectations. Looking forward to an epic meltdown.

Struggled to start R1 and fought to a -8. R2 found a groove for -13. R3 grinded to -11. Then something switched literally in R4 I could not get a p-p swing I even took a break for awhile but no change damage already was done and just whacked it about for +2. Iβve just about had enough of this game, I hope HB gets their sh%$ together or it may be a short next season for me.

Finished up at -43. ππ
Played my last round with my new and improved settings with aiming off and No lie grid with marker only putting and got it to a bogey-free -9. ππ
I'm going to revert back to standard for the playoffs, but I'm sticking with the tougher settings I made for myself all of next season. ππ
It might be a short stay on PGA, but it is awfully gratifying hitting a quality shot while playing that way. ππ
These guys are good and I know I won't be competing for wins, so I am making a new list of goals for next season. ππ
I made the game enjoyable for ME and that is important. It's a video game. Period. It should let you have fun. Not consume you with the rage. Besides, this is the BEST online community I've ever been a part of. ππ

First PGA tour event after promo from euro last week. -10 / -10 start, which I felt was solid. I'm certainly capable of both worse and better.
Difficult course. I intentionally played it pretty safe and was successful in that strategy. Avoided trouble and took my birdies where they came. A more aggressive strategy could have resulted in some shorter birdie & eagle putts but also quite possibly more crazy red line slope flop shots. It looks like it probably takes that type of aggression to compete for top 10's here.
Looks like -20 will make the cut so I'm quite happy with that for the first week out. I can see I'll be as someone mentioned "B Flight"...yeah, that sounds about right for me looking at the top 10-20 scores. Just glad to be here after nibbling at my 5th mark on euro for quite some time. We'll see how it goes.

Iβve now realized itβs because I trying to compete with other players who were playing the game on easy mode, you know the cast who keeps getting DQs? Just play it and have a group of players who you know are legit and. Compete against them. Quite frankly most of the βeliteβ are phonies.

No No No grasshopper, B Flight players (such as myself) are those of us on the PGA Tour that are subjugated to the kids table if you will. We play in the 2nd, alernate, minor, junior...tournament when the cream of the top 50 battle it out for top Flicker.

-23 (I think) after 2, which should be so much better if only I hadn't forgotten how to putt. Had a hole out in round 1, then this one in round 2:
