I guess I just don't have the time to compete up here. I only play 4 rounds a week right now and if -19 is gonna miss cuts then i'll be in limbo forever. I need a fast track back to Kinetic lol

A) Course is fine...of all the setups we've played, idk how this one is on page 5 by Tuesday afternoon.
B) This next thing is more sincere than it reads, but I truly mean it - if some of you guys don't like what's going on with TGCT, whether it's course selection or something else...just leave? I mean, if there are better options, why not just play there and spare us of the really direct, over-the-top harsh...criticism? Idk what to call it because it's not even criticism, it's just hate...might just be me, but I honestly don't get it. It's not like this is a subscription service dependent upon huge numbers driving monthly service revenue, or that somehow such a large volume of players is inherently beneficial to the purpose of this effort - I could make an argument that there's a tipping point for player volume in which those large numbers can actually be a hindrance, but for another day... - so in all honesty, if it's that bad, maybe just part ways?
C) I still suck and can't make cuts anymore, yet another thing I don't understand. Absolute dumpster fire of a round1, followed by record setting front9 25 in round 2, only to have a work meeting bumped up an hour on me which meant I had to put off the back 9 for a couple of hours. Needless to say, the back9 did not go as the front had. Oh well, if nothing else at least I'm getting used to the feeling, it does soften the blow a bit
GL all, look forward to my 2 rounds next week!

I should have made my second cut, being -24 (-13, -11) after 36h.

Hello. Hmm. So my blow up in round 3 last week in conjunction with the cut line glitch got me one additional demo mark (one erased, two new), and since I didn't play good enough this week either I will have to start preparing myself for a possible demotion. My swing tempo has been improving again in the last few days, but for some reason I still have difficulties keeping it up over a longer time, especially in meaningful rounds. Thus, my game is very streaky at the moment, which shows in my scorecards: R1 front 9: E R1 back 9: -9 And, to a lesser extent: R2 first 10 holes: -7 (including my first ever HIO on a par 4) R2 last 8 holes: -1 It's remarkable how I'm able to shoot pinpoint approaches on several consecutive holes and then get red miss after red miss to leave me fighting for par on several other consecutive holes. Ah well, I guess I'm not the only one. See you next week! Cheers and good luck all!

I have yet to have a round below 60 all season, so seeing that I needed to average below that mark I didn't have expectations of making the cut. And my play followed suit. I went 60-61 with a few missed putts from short distance and also a handful of approaches where my tempo went slow. That is what cost me the cut this week. Am glad to be on PS5 where I didn't have any lag issues at least.
Good luck to all with rounds yet to complete this week!

Two rounds of -10 and another missed cut. Ultimately it felt like the lag on the 15th cost me with a terrible three putt on R2 if I remember correctly, otherwise course was fine, I enjoyed it. -20 and a missed cut...🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Ive had no lag on the ps5 either drunk. How you finding the 5? I assume you meant this comment for me... Love the gameplay... especially after the latest update for 60Hz V-Sync. Tempo is harder and there was an adjustment for timing at the top of the swing. But... it is such rewarding gameplay playing straight up. I still have putting issues that go beyond this game back into TGC19 that I need to figure out, however I really enjoy the game as is playing str8 up even if I am a cut-dweller up here on Platinum.

Thats what im finding. Its definitely more rewarding than just bashing it on the ps4 thats for sure. If you have a good round youve been in the groove on all areas of your game. I find the dualsense is alot more sensitive than the ds4 and my swing plane varies alot more day to day so i have to adjust alot more to suit my swing type alot like tgc2 days where you get slight push and pulls! Overall it looks and plays so much better doesnt it

Overall it looks and plays so much better doesnt it I agree with you. I don't care much about my results as I find the gameplay very rewarding now. I think we (the ps5 community that was PS4 in the past) that play it str8 up have moved towards the difficulty that PC has had in the past. The 60Hz is an absolute gamechanger, IMO.

Mixed first rd.
2 under through 7 I thought my chances of making the cut were gone.
Then a flourish of ten birdies for the last 11 holes has given me a shot at the cut for rd2.
Just need to keep it together tonight for rd2

Hey Kenny...man do we need to catch up Anyway, I have to say this course was smooth as silk for me on PS5 also. I REALLY hope you land a PS5 soon!! I'm going to be on a lot this weekend, so we'll try and get a round or two in.

Was my first tournament in Plat, bit of an eye opener that -19 after two rounds is outside the top 100. Last week in Elite I was -12 after two and about 30th! Just wanted to say its a shame that some people don't appreciate the effort that the organisers and course designers put in. First reply agreeing to the OP came right after the thread was created was from a guy who has clearly used to top 10 finishes and was butthurt at knowing he'd blown it this week - then proceeded to persuade someone else to trash the course on here. Pathetic but also slightly hilarious.
I played on PS4 also, was very minimal slowdown on one hole on the back nine but it certainly didn't affect my score.
