Sucked it up this week. Couldn’t putt to save my life. Good course and good conditions. Just bad playing. Good playing to the fellas up top. Nice thread btw fellas Started off a little choppy but she found her course. 😉

And I meant it's like throwing a knuckleball as in I don't manipulate the swing lines, I just flick and whatever short/full lines happen happen. I even sometimes get recoil lines when I hit the plastic. You're either the luckiest man alive, or full of shite... I know, fine well, how easy it is to perform a short swing on cue (and I purposefully play in a manner that AVOIDS them), so please don't try to pull the wool over our eyes with your crusade against Crawesy, and this "uncontrollable" short swing garbage. I watched your R1 in the end. I took note of the times where you had long approaches that needed accuracy, had strong lofting added into the equation, or where there was little to no margin for error, and well slap my thigh and call me Susan, it seems that in all of the situations that you used extreme loft, or needed extra accuracy on long approaches you hit a short swing!!! - Hole 1 - Long approach, max loft driver, short swing.
- Hole 6 - Long approach, well lofted 3w, short swing.
- Hole 9 - No room for error here, a pitch with a solid degree of loft, short swing.
- Hole 11 - Tee shot, max loft driver, narrow landing, short swing.
- Hole 13 - Long approach, max loft driver, short swing.
- Hole 13 - Sand save, max loft, short swing
- Hole 14 - Driver off the tee, danger / water abound, accuracy required... short swing
- Hole 15 - No lofting in play here, but accuracy is really required to get this long 3W approach down the right channel... with a good card going... you guessed it - short swing.
- Hole 18 - Approach, great card in the back pocket, narrow landing area, can't possibly go left (which is good, as short swings can't go left), whoopsie, thumb slipped off the stick and we have the shortest swing of the day.
There were no other examples of approaches that I could find where you used anything like a degree of loft for a scoring /risky shot. So for all the ones above, that were lofted, to end up with a short swing on those, was particularly lucky. I'm not watching anything of R2-R4. You're a good player, you made a great score, but you did it by knowingly exploiting the swing (to beat Crawsey... yawn). Your credibility dwindles in a cringe worthy manner with every additional post, so don't go a step further and try to bullshit everybody that you're unable to manipulate the swing to produce a short line when you want it into the bargain.

You guys are starting to make me feel guilty. Stop it. Crawsey must be defeated. If, I mean when, he fails api for a third time and gets banned here, I'll go back to whacking the plastic. And I meant it's like throwing a knuckleball as in I don't manipulate the swing lines, I just flick and whatever short/full lines happen happen. I even sometimes get recoil lines when I hit the plastic. I think the joystick is only in contact with the plastic for not even half a split second probably. I'll mess around again with new techniques but the key to a full straightish line is to barely make contact with the plastic and let go. Having said all that...Again. Crawsey must be defeated. SO...you go out looting when "everyone" else does?? Guess you're also committing robberies, burglaries...for what reason...oh yeah, "cause that's what everyone else does" How old are you...11? It's simple you along with the other dumbarses found an exploit...plain and simple...it makes the game play as it is not meant to be played...meaning easier...just SHHHHHHHHH!!! we don't care about your immaturity, or the fact you and the others are so desperate to be somebody you decide, wow this game is pretty tough...I know, let's see if I can find a way to manipulate a thumb stick and make this easier. You guys are the same ones that cheat with all the other games online...let me guess you guys also have a KRONUS MAX and scripts too...There is one thing you guys do provide us and that's these GREAT threads...so thank you

Sorry to interrupt the thread with some of the scores and stuff but......lol
I had to finish up my rounds early this week because I'll be out of town until late Saturday for Thanksgiving and didn't want to have that pressure to finish up when I'll be off the game for a few days. However I started with a -12 in the first round, and then followed that up with a pedestrian -8. Couldn't find a swing in round 2 and that's the way it goes sometimes. Actually, to pull out the -8 was pretty good considering. -20 at the cut which will be fine to make the cut.
3rd round went better, but not great. I had to fight my way around a bit but ended up pulling out a -11 which the conditions were very firm and very fast and I think that worked out for me pretty well. Actually left a couple of strokes out there sadly, but fought out a respectable score.
4th round I found a bit of a rhythm. At the end of it I shot a -12 and really could have been better. But all in all I ended up with -43 for the tournament. Probably not a top 25 like I'm looking for, but a score I can accept. Hopefully I'll keep some of the form I had in the later rounds and keep that going for next week.
As far as the rest of this thread. I know flicking is an issue. I rarely get a short swing and when I do it's because my finger usually slips off the thumbstick which for me results in a poor shot actually lol. I'm all for trying to beat the top guys, I mean that's my goal every week too. However, I don't know that I would consider it a victory for me if I was to do it that way. My goals at the beginning of this season were to get in the top 25 in the WGR (currently 36) and to win a tournament on tour this year. Is a monumental task to win for me playing on XB1...probably. But, I still wouldn't want any unfair advantage to win or really I didn't win anything. Just my 2 cents worth. I respect everyone's opinions on the matter and we're all grown so you can do what you want and I can't stop you. I'm just gonna keep playing my game and I know everyone else will too. Good luck to everyone else left to play! Happy thanksgiving to all of you! This is a great community to be a part of and I thoroughly enjoy it every week! Cheers guys!

Stay "lucky" with your shorties, and keep on flickin' in the free world...

Maybe they think they will get some tail by showing their tourney wins? I honestly do not understand the younger generations. I have a hard time trying to figure it out, why would anybody would be so desperate on a small market game in a niche society. What’s even more weird is most of these players just hide in the closet.

Enjoying the course this week. Had a good -12 in round 1, and was -5 through 6 in round 2 when I got to number 7, and the good news I didn't bogey or double bogey it, but the bad news is that I triple bogeyed it because I'm bad at this stupid game and why would I use a 2 wood from a high lipped fairway bunker you moron, and why did I hit that putt so hard going downhill, you'll never amount to anything, you idiot. I calmed down but didn't do much more after that, shot -6 total for the round, in at -18, should make the cut.

Challenging but fair set up too.

I have a hard time trying to figure it out, why would anybody would be so desperate on a small market game in a niche society. What’s even more weird is most of these players just hide in the closet. Often thought how different life would be if I ever achieved that elusive first win. Seven figure payday, yachts, private jets, adoration... World at your fingertips. The respect and camaraderie formed from fair competition are the only things of actual value exchanged around here. The only difference between TGCTours and a game of Wednesday night pickup basketball is us sitting on the couch. Until the day comes when actual currency can be won through real tournaments, what are we really playing for???!?!?!?!?? To the flickers rcknfrewld Crawsey and the rest of the shadow dwellers, why not strive for a fair playing field? Why not get to know your competition and show everyone the good and bad? You know, like real life golf. This is a friendly league with literally nothing of monetary value on the line.

I already know enough of enough of you on here. Hard pass on getting in a circle and singing kumbaya or whatever together. And fadge you're slipping on your stalking of other players. I'm shocked Jayclutch has somehow made it to Wednesday without you noticing.

I’m convinced when some new name leads at the cut and they’ve never played on PGA before it’s some past personality with a new alias with a former bad reputation.

I am discovering this discussion and I am rather saddened by what I read. In my opinion there are only 2 options: Flick is allowed and all players are allowed to use it all the time, or flick is forbidden. Stop making us believe that flick is independent of your will and happens from time to time, no one believes it. Full hit from 6 to 12 is the most simple and natural swing. I am astonished that the site banish partially and reintegrate those who are considered cheaters. I say that in case where flick is considered as unfair advantage. Either you cheat or you do not cheat, there is nothing in between. The rule must be strict and not "ok you can use it from time to time but not too much". Otherwise it's ridiculous (like hitting -60 on 4 rounds with heavy conditions on hard course). Have fun because we are here for this
Sorry for my poor (frenchy) english
