Well..-27 for the tournament. I'm too tired to be also pissed and to check my scores with attention, but I already know that I have break a pair of records, with this tournament. My first red mark ever. My first tournament with 5 bogeys and a double. Not bad. In last round other two super slow downswings (5 in total for the tournament) and a really slight but constant lag that complicated everything and that i can't understand..and I don't know exactly why it happens, but I must admit that, if when I'll fix all the issues in my game this thing of the random superslow/fast should to continue, is a possibility that I'll simply quit. Is senseless to work trying to improve, spending hours of tries and study, working on my grab of the controller and all that annoying stuff like this, only to finally waste strokes almost on every round with not a reason. Anyway..is too soon to show the white flag. I'll try to discover why it happens. I'm also partially happy cause it seems i found a way to solve the issues with the sliced putts (today it worked quite well, I scored also two putts really long..i see the way is the right one), grabbing the controller in a slight different way. Now I'll spend this week trying to avoid the slight slow and fast downswing I suffer sometimes (for my fault, is easy to see the difference) and that is the bigger problem I have, beside the constant kick to the left at the start of my swing I suffer by weeks. As a final thought about the course, it was an easy one and there is nothing wrong with this, simply for me is one of those course that I think are just no good enough to be considered one of the best 52 possible courses we could use on tour. But is just a personal taste. Now I go to sleep, if I can. It would be nice. 👀 Glad to see you were able to finish, but I know your score isn't what you were hoping for. I'm having the same issues with slow downswings myself and I'm not sure how I'm going to overcome that since I'm going to be putting so much more time in my design project. That just means less time to practice. I'm sure you'll get it worked out and start seeing much better scores soon. Good luck this week and get some sleep!

I'm really happy, cause I really love this week course. I played a practice round to check if I suffer for the glitch, but while I was playing I realized that I rangered this course. Is one of those courses that I like in every aspect. How it looks, how it is designed, the strategic side. Everything. The autumn theme also working really nice on it. No matter what my score will be, I already know that I'll enjoy every shot on it. I'm working on my swing as usual and I can see some improvement (I also scored my first ace after the switch..but it was just a lucky bounce exploiting the strong slope, not aimed or deserved). But I have also noticed an incredible thing. In short, today for some unknown reason the game canceled every setup I selected. Is just as if this was the first time I start this game, but my name, level, moneys and handicap are still there. My avatar and every setup is clean. Very strange. Anyway..while I was practicing the game, I noticed an absurd thing : One of the greatest difficulties I always suffer when I play a chip shot, is that between the movement of the stick and the reaction of my avatar, there has always been a huge, HUGE delay. And is for this reason that I can't find the right speed for the shortest chips. Well..after this "reset", now the time of reaction of my avatar is actually perfect. I don't know why before it was so delayed..but now is simply perfect. I could go mad to learn how to use those short chips... Now it should be a lot easier. Anyway..good luck guys and good week of golf as usual.

It looks as if I'll be waiting another week to get rid of my demotion marks, I'll probably be adding another one as well. I started off with a -7 round which was followed up by a -6 2nd round. The third round was my worst of the week but could've been worse if not for a hole in one on the 17th to get me back at -4. A final round of -6 seen me finish the week on -23, I'm not a fan of this week's course, I thought it could've done with a bit more sculpting especially on the greens.

-11 after first round. I was in doubt if to play this week or not, cause i have really no time to play..but next week I'll be probably constantly away from my home and I'll be forced to not play at all..and I don't want to skip two consecutive weeks. I have not great expectations, for this tournament, anyway. The relatively good score is mainly the result of easy conditions and my putt, (despite i missed maybe two doable putts, the swing when I putt is one of the few things it seems I found a way to fix) but my swing is still not precise enough and I always feel the mistake is just behind the corner..and having not the chance to practice, everything will be more complicated. I'll try to play my second tonight, or I risk the WD..or to be forced to play again 2-3 consecutive rounds in 2-3 hours Saturday night..and after the work..needing just some rest, is always quite annoying. Well..good luck to anyone

But..i must also admit that I just need a break from the game. At least from the competitive side, I mean. By..more or less a month my life is complicated by a series of things. All things out of my control, that is always the worst part. And is by the week at Geiranger more or less, that I'm realizing I simply can't find anymore..the commitment needed to enjoy the difficulties, to solve the issues..and to do all those little things this game requires to be competitive..and to have fun. I hoped that the switch to master clubs could help to find some new enthusiasm, for the different challenge etcetera..but no. It changes nothing. At the very start I was sure it was simply a problem of the little amount of time available for the game. But I can see is just me. I can see that, by weeks, the idea to play the rounds for the tournament it sounds to me like something I MUST do, instead than something I WANT to do. And this is stupid. And has been very stupid also to start this week's tournament..but well. To do stupid things has been always a house's specialty

-30 for the tournament. I can't explain how much bad I felt playing these last three rounds of the tournament..and is a shame cause I liked the course, a lot, really. And the conditions where fair enough. Also those pins in the 4th round..well, 3-4 were actually clearly not regular, but just two were creating real problems on approaches and putt. Nothing terrible, after all. Checking the standings, I'm also really surprised to see I am just two strokes short from the top 15 master clubs. I was sure I would see better medium scores. Way better. About me..i played not so bad..except some stupid bogey here and there (4 in the end), some missed birdie (but a lot of scrambles scored) and an awful, full of mistakes second round. I was too tired, but I had no more time to waste, so..I played. Anyway..in that second round I suffered also an absurd triple bogey, cause I did two consecutive times the same mistakes on the second par 3, going short by inches and rolling down into the water. Twice. Identical mistakes. And I mean..it was not a issue with my swing. I had a perfect and straight swing both times, it was the idea simply wrong, but I had simply not the focus to read properly the situations. The other thing that shows something must be wrong with me (considering that the swing worked not bad at all), is the 70% of GIR for the tournament. For my standards is simply awful. If I was looking for some proof that I need a break, these things convinced me...but I already knew it. The bright side, for the future, is that my swing is really improved..i solved lot of issues and I probably found also a good way to have a more consistently straight line on putts (at least on those short and/or medium), just grabbing differently the controller and practicing again the swing before the putt..but I can see that simply my mind is not there while I play. Is this the problem. And there is nothing I can do. And this thing is draining any enjoyment. I feel empty, nervous and sad while I play. Is stupid to insist. A little pause is what I need. I will see after next week if I'll feel myself a bit better..or If i'll continue to renounce to play for some time more. Good week and good luck for the next tournament, guys

Good week and good luck for the next tournament, guys I finished at -25, which is about what I would expect at this time. I continue to have tempo issues and I know I need to practice more to try to improve, but I'm really into Austin Country Club and trying to put time in on my music project. Just doesn't leave me with a lot of practice time. Anyway, congratulations on finishing ahead of me. Sounds like you need a break from the game, so if you're burned out or not getting any enjoyment, take some away. I'm sure it will do you good.

Oh..c'mon!! It's ever possible that is enough to go away from home (then from my PC, then from the Tour)2 weeks and this thread is dead and gone? Shame on you, CC-Aers.

What's up ladies and gents first week in cc a for me went really well. The course was interesting and round 1 was tough. Started out ok with a -8. Round 2 was a cake walk and I couldn't miss a putt -16. Round 3 went the opposite so many birdie tries and and I was lipping everything. Disappointing -9. Round 4 was just a ho hum kinda round hit some quality shots and hit some less than stellar shots -8. Overall my tempo was solid with xbox master clubs. Total of -41 hoping that gets me my first promo mark. Good luck to everyone.
