Jesus Christ! I've not been looking at the cut at all. PLEASE! Someone beat -20! Or don't. -38 for me. Yay! I agree with these sentiments. I feel like the teacher just gave me detention on the last day of school. Just kidding. Honored to play in my first of these. One more week, one more mediocre for me. Have been playing Days Gone. Guess Iβll have to jump back into this tonight for a little practice. Goal: donβt finish last. Funny I failed that goal in the last WGR event.

Wow... Crawesy 100% GIR and FIR in R3, and shoots -17. I suppose that's what makes you the greatest at this game, having such an accurate, repeatable swing? Surely...?

Wow...spent all season scratching for promo marks on Euro, coming up short of a PGA card by a single shot on 3 different occasions between 11th place finishes and promo events. Finally got my PGA 3 weeks ago and I've somehow managed to sneak into the final right on the number. I pulled out a miracle last week in the 2nd round. This time it was the opposite and I stumbled a bit at the end on some short putts....should have been -22 easily. Suppose it worked out that all these other guys get into next week as well. All good, I'm sure half of us at -20 could name at least a putt or two that should have gone in that would have knocked everyone else out. No idea at the time - crazy how that works.
I was doing everything I could last night with willpower to keep sloan and the other guys away from firing up the game. I hated you guys that were messaging him just a little bit LOL. I went to bed with about an hour to go and knowing that since still hadn't registered a R1 it was unlikely that they'd suddenly wake up at that point and be able to finish 2 rounds, but I was still happy to see it held this morning. I'll finish off my last 2 for this tournament after work today, not too fussed over where I finish.
I'll go into next week just feeling very fortunate to have my name on the registered list. Will do my best with minimal expectations. Who knows.

Well, that was a cut I didn't expect to make! Talk about backdooring a spot at EL. Nice to have 2 stress free rounds to play that I didn't expect.
Gonna be tough to make the cut next week though π

Kudos to you all.

I thought it was a wonky repeatable swing. Looks that way from the videos I've seen. Anyway I always thought that putting was the big deal. A few have the ultra top secret calculations to hole almost every putt and they're the ones who finish at the top end week after week. Either that or they're just jammy f......

Making putts is one thing, proximity to the hole is immensely more important. Too bad HB doesn't seem to know how to compute it. If I'm 10 feet and you're 20 feet, how many more putts do you think I'll make over you?

Surely you must have to have a good swing to be that good, and that accurate... surely? ?

So, I'm rocking this kind of swing atm. If I could just learn to get it to stop at halfway then I'd be golden According to HB, the swing is an exact 1 to 1 representation of the move that you make. Either a) I've got some kind of extreme nervous tick that I'm unaware of, or b) That's total bullsh1t

The swing isn't 1:1 ratio, never was or was it ever intended to be. The Mouse swing in the previous versions WERE true 1:1 ratios which is why you could quite literally pause your swing. HB took all 1:1 swings out and went to 'mapping'. I think the whole 'mapping' thing is why you have PC, Xbox and PS4 each taking what would be the same controller and having the results be different from platform to platform. HB should simply go back to the 1:1 ratio. It would be much better for us at least in the sense admin then should be able to see the actual swing rather than a mapped interpretation of the various points of the swing.

So those of us that didn't make the cut this week, we still allowed to play next week in the special event tourney? Oh and where is my participation trophy? Damnit I earned it!
**EDIT** Just checked out Ember Ridge G&G. I guess the reward we get for making it so far but just falling short is to play a course where it is pretty much all reachable par 4s in some crazy configurations. Yeah. I think I might be just done for the season or I may just play East Lake any way. I'll go stag and see if someone has the ballz to throw me off the course.
