I understand the request to play always from the tips. Selfishly, as a Master Club players, i couldn't agree more. But we shouldn't forget that we play the same courses played in 3 flights below, it would be extremely punishing for some pro club player in the lower flights..so maybe is correct to alternate a bit, especially if the course is tough enough to compensate in some way the gain of distance. But i also believe the real issue is simply that cc-a is just the worst flight in which to play with master clubs. There are so many good Pro Clubs players here that the competition is so insanely tough to be actually unfair. Is one of the reason why i really wait the new game and the new season, hoping this thing will end. I see your point, but I also don't see a huge difference in difficultly between CC-Pro and CC-AM for courses and setup. I think CC-Pro should be harder. We are playing against the field, so it shouldn't matter. This is only my 3rd week and I agree the CC-A needs to be harder or master clubs exclusive. As the the next promo is a master clubs requirement it makes some sense. Then B players with pro clubs who get promoted can give the masters a try. Or simply use a harder, longer course for maybe A and B flights.

We are playing against the field, so it shouldn't matter. I agree, i'm never concerned too much about the courses exactly cause i believe too we play against the field, but in cc-a the problem IS the field, this is what i meant. But, looking at the bright side of the story, i believe that cc-a, for the same reason, is the best possible place where to practice and to became competitive playing with Master clubs. When you reach those 3 green marks to be promoted, you're almosy surely well ready to compete in the Pro Tour. I also miss a lot the competition in these days..i broke my hand 2 weeks ago and i can't handle my controller in any way (and i tried..A LOT! ), but i really hope to recover soon, i want to play! Good luck for this week, guys!

We're 2.5 months away from a new version of this game so tour restructuring thoughts are relatively pointless at this time.
I couldn't get anything going on the course this week. I enjoyed the track though even if I'm borderline red mark.

-9 -11 -12 -12
= -44
By far and away, the best week I've had yet, no bogeys, 42 birdies and 1 eagle. Eagle coming on the 72nd hole, with a nice medium length putt, celebrated with a small air punch! 😂 Good luck all!

No bogeys last week in 72 holes. First hole this week BOGEY! 😂 Actually relaxed me, went on to shoot -12, best opening round I've had. Good luck to all playing this week 👍

Think I should be clearing last week's demo mark as I continue to try to erase the nightmare of Bethpage from my card. Played well in R1, lights out in rounds 2 and 3 but couldn't quite find it in R4. It'll be a long time before I top this card:

Shocked to see I'm back up to CC-A after a few weeks in CC-C and CC-B. Good tournaments back to back helped me jump up I guess. Might be short lived because I really couldn't find the groove this week
-28 total

I got super sick on Thursday and was down and out until today, so I didn't finish the tournament and scored two more red marks. Now I sit at 4. A long way back to get those off my record!

After more or less a month of forced stop, i wish to restart to play the Tour. Then i'm playing a practice round on this week's course, just looking for a way to grab the controller that allows me to play..and also trying to recover some confidence with the game.. Now i'm smoking a cigarette for my break 9th hole break..i suspect we'll see some super score this week, because conditions will be affordable enough and the course seems to be nice and well playable, if you're not greedy on your strategy (as on hole 2) I loved especially the first par 3, even if i scored a bogey cause suffered a slight fast DS, (nothing randomic, just my fault) and the second par 5 hole, probably cause it reminds to me the 18 at Congressional, a hole i particularly love (although that is a par 4 hole). Maybe is cause my hand don't allows me to find a very comfortable position while i play and this forces me to be more focused and patient, but my swing is unusually straight, today. But, conversely, i struggle a bit on tempo in my downswing and to find the proper strenght on putt..but i imagined i should face this kind of difficulty after so many time with no play. Well..it will be interesting Have a good sunday, guys. And good luck for this week!!

-12 for my first, bogey&eagle free round. Of course, i could/should be super happy, all considering. And despite some really wasted birdie/eagle chance here and there..things has been probably more or less equalized by a pair of good scrambles and a pair of birdie putts from a certain distance.
But if i consider how much unusually straight has been my swing and the really few tempo issues i suffered, i feel as if i wasted a chance to score something seriously great. Is also true this has been one of those rounds in which, after your tee shot, your ideal distance to the pin stays exactly between 2 clubs almost everytime. The other reason why it would be important to score the best i could is that i suspect this course can show easily some teeth, on different conditions and pin positions..Will see..
Have a nice week!
