Just wanted to pop in and say that we need more holes like the 5th hole in round 1. Having to use the shot shaper and taking away the fast with that tree was refreshing. I can count on one hand how many times I have used the fade in this game so far. Great hole and great course. A little on the easy side since I like to shoot and compete with more realistic scores but I genuinely had a great time playing my rounds.

Maybe it was just be, but did anybody else experience a lot of stuttering this week? It seemed like every shot I was stuttering Just finished my first round and can’t say I experienced this at all. I’m on a launch day PS4.

I hit a lot of fades and draws by choice, but it would be nice to see that be a requirement for some holes. Unfortunately, it seems some courses are often not approved if it requires a fade or draw on a couple holes.

Unfortunately, it seems some courses are often not approved if it requires a fade or draw on a couple holes. Courses are usually not approved if they are requiring a forced draw/fade to an extreme degree or if they have an odd layup option. Something like a 90 degree dogleg that requires 7 iron off the tee and leaves you 200+ to the hole would be an example. It's usually okay as long as the layup option is not a drastic difference or the draw/fade required isn't a banana shape. Maybe b101 or mattf27 could elaborate on this.

Generally I think the idea of a hole preferring a draw or a fade is a solid one, but requiring one is where you start to get into some playability issues. Basically, if you need to work the ball in order to hit the preferred spot on the fairway, you're fine, but if you HAVE to work the ball to hit the fairway at all, its probably not the best hole. Aggressive shots can have all the risk in the world, as long as you include a safer option at the cost of a worse scoring opportunity.

Do you all prefer at least a safe "3-wood ish" layup option if the driver requires you to work the ball? I know that could vary a lot based on the hole design, I just didn't know if you all have some rules you go by for the layup option.

I know that could vary a lot based on the hole design, I just didn't know if you all have some rules you go by for the layup option. There isn't really a rule, more that we can tell from experience whether the hole makes sense. If you're asking for a draw, great. If you're asking for a hook, not so good. Generally, the further back you lay up, the wider the fairway should be (to a given point - I wouldn't generally start fairways closer than 180 yards to back tees), but if laying up with a three wood because you're not comfortable with the draw around the tree leaves you three wood approach into a smallish par four green, I'd have reservations... Basically, it depends. Common sense is your friend here.

Theres not a lot of hard and fast rules because there's so many variables that can affect how difficult a hole plays. Maybe the "punishment" for a safe drive is a longer shot, or a worse angle, or even just an uneven lie. As long as there's a way for a weaker player to navigate the hole, theres a lot of options.

CC-A -43 overall. A +1 front 9 in Rd 2 scuppered my chances of a top 10. I scored well in Rd 4, a -15 with 4 eagles, 3 on the back 9.

Got my confidence back with this easier course at -26. Why can’t I see the leaderboards anymore?

Can anyone explain to me what is going on here and is there anyway I can fix this? This is my first hole on my opening round. Should be an eagle.

I guess the only thing you could do is go to tgctours.com and use the 'see a score issue' option there. The powers that be might adjust your score accordingly.
