Dear Vitaly, I can't wait til ol' fadge sees this and gives you a disingenuous "Good playing mate" after I'm about 64.3% positive he accused you of flicking by working "flick" into your name like Vitaly McFlickerson or something. PS. I never judged you Vitaly because I never saw your swing before. But now that I have a seriously jolly genuine "Good playing mate." I haven't posted on here in a very long time so I apologize for the long-winded response...... Santa - Thank you sir. And I must say, you are one observant little bugger. However, don't sell yourself short with that 64.3% above. Yes, about a month or two ago Fadge certainly had some fun at my expense and referred to me as "Flickachenko." It's all good though. See for whatever reason, he keeps keen eyes on everyone who fails the API. I know he got API'd once as well last season as I did. So only Fadge can tell you why he gets so excited scouring the API wire. Honestly, I think if he spent 3/4 the time practicing his 133rd ranked putting average so far this season - as he does on ridiculing everyone who fails the API; then he would rapidly shoot up the WGR as he is obviously a very solid player. However let me say; truthfully I'm rooting for Fadge. For me, it's all water under the bridge as we have both got our shots in at each other. I believe that he is indeed a good guy and his heart is undoubtedly in the right place. He absolutely truly cares about tgctours and wants to see this website flourish; even more so then it already has. Let me also say, I do love the competition here. And while I'm a very good player, I can acknowledge that I have a long way to go and currently there are definitely a fair share of players better then me. Say I lose a tournament by 8 shots to 'Mr. X.' I digest it, take it in and say I absolutely threw away 8 shots over 4 rounds and I am good enough to shoot what Mr. X shot. I know I need to play better. Personally, I don't go searching for answers. If you pass the API you are a deserving winner in my book. Although, I certainly am plenty fine with much much harsher API penalties as well. That's just my thought/opinion on it though. Everyone is entitled to their own. And to all the new-ish good players on tgctours - just make sure you NEVER fail that API. Even one time. From experience, you will go through Hell as this is what happens.... -You will get banned from basically all your societies you play in. -You will get humiliated on the forums whether you are active on there or not -And finally, anytime you shoot a great score/scores/or have a really nice finish in a tournament you will be shunned at and scoffed at as if you don't exist. Finally, I'm not sure everyone read my "About" section on my Youtube channel. But on there I noted that there is already 125+ rounds on my channel. I know a couple folks I saw someplace around the forums were asking how the better players in tgctours were shooting the scores they do. Well, there's a lot of good scores and course records on my channel....so let those people know as I'm happy to share! Here is the link again...... www.youtube.com/channel/UCEnQiiftXLuuLbpptaQIKdgPlease everyone, certainly hit that subscribe button as I will be adding more content weekly with many, many, many more 'Tour rounds' on there in the near and distant future as well. With all the above being said, let's remember we are playing a video game.... Have a Safe and Happy New Year everyone!!!

I think what Fadge does by tracking API is probably the best thing to happen here in the last year. I truly believe he’s made a massive difference. For one, the stricter policies can be partially credited to him. Secondly, yes if you fail you get called out but don’t think he’s giving preferential treatment either. He calls out his friends just the same. We all see what is going on, most could care less if somebody gets a rare pull. The problem starts when you see certain names multiple times. It sure seems to be getting somewhat better. Thanks Fadge!

With all the above being said, let's remember we are playing a video game.... Have a Safe and Happy New Year everyone!!! For better or worse, the API tracking has been important to know who is living on the edge. I think it’s great when top players openly share their rounds - good and bad. The worst thing HB did was to remove ghost feedback in 2019. Having your rounds uploaded helps to legitimize how you’re playing the game. There are still a handful of people shooting amazing scores that are hiding in the darkness. I have a hard time respecting that - what are they hiding?

Merry Christmas, all you brave souls that post here! Here’s my back 9 from R1 this week. Forgot I was on 15 minute record. Nice shooting. Watching that, it feels as though you are my swing brother The inconsistent lines, the wild ones when you go for the fast downswing and putting line that's never the same twice

I've been drinking for far too long to be arsed to engage in your childish bullshite tonight James... Have a day off.
I play 8 rounds a week - 4 in TST and 4 in PGA if I make the cut (maybe 1 or 2 aces to boot). If I was really arsed about getting better, I'd play as much as you try hards and actually give it a real go... but this is a sideline in my life - a bit of fun. If I can compete with you stalwarts when I slap it round after a few beers - great!
Tracking the API? It's really very simple - the information just flows to me - I don't even have to do anything... and I don't ridicule folk... well, maybe those that keep failing might get a bit, but those failing once, genuinely, I'd prefer to help them then to see them fail again.

So that's a childish no comment then? Ok.

Here is my -20 R3 from this week. Besides a goofy putt on hole9, I was pretty on point. 17 and 18 got adventurous.

I put rounds 1 & 2 from this weeks tournament at Surtsey Island on my Youtube channel below...... www.youtube.com/channel/UCEnQiiftXLuuLbpptaQIKdgI apologize to all the Inspector Gadgets in the audience on the length of my 2nd round. Had to pause the game a ton as my dog was going bananas for a big chunk of the round.

First round, tee shot on the fourth. I saw enought ! We play different game. Well play It did well to stop out of the water really. No fast downswing, wind off the left, big push. It did do well to stay in the fairway! Edit - Must’ve been a nice round though, -16, well played. I only watched the shot Eric mentioned. Anyhow, I’d best be off. Those leaderboards don’t watch themselves.
