E 1sr rd, 121 gs. -8 2nd rd 187 gs. Anything under 144 gs for me is not pleasant. Plus 2 water balls in 1st rd didn't help. Hope to stay away from a red kiss. Doubt-8 makes cut. Good shooting to those at the top

a week+ of firsts continues in a wild way. after playing my first 72 holes last week bogey-free, of course the 73rd and 74th holes would be bogeys.
pulled it back a bit to -4 thru 13, so not bad, and then stepped up to the par 3 14th and made my first ace on TGC - only my second ever in the game.
finished up with a -7 65. will play R2 later tonight or tomorrow
video of the ace:

I went -8 and -3 after an up and down 2nd round was capped off with a bogey from the bunker on 18. There are few things worse than being 10y from the hole out of the sand and needing to carry it exactly 7y if you have hope of stopping it on the 187 green. It’s not every I play a chip shot out of a bunker! Back to the 122 greens in R3 😂

I've never had so many uphill, partial LW splashes from the sand in my life. For those I generally loft as high as possible and then intentionally red it. but on one i over-redded it and left it in the sand, and a couple other times i grey fasted and sent it way long. really tricky

65-64 -15 thru 2, T4.
i have a lot of bones to pick with this course, but so does everyone, and i'm scoring well, so just gonna save it.
R2 wind allows for the bryson shot on 6. i wasn't quite in the bunker but in the rough through the fairway not too much further out.

I'm T12 at the minute, I didn't think I'd be going that well on this tour just yet so it's pretty pleasing. Not a fan of the ultra slow greens speeds though so hopefully I can land a few nice and close to the pin to avoid longer putts on them. Probably play the third round tonight.

Normally greens are never this slow on kinetic, the settings are for the course that was supposed to be used, so the two default rounds should have been 179 not 121. Unfortunately when the game reverted back to a default course, it keep the settings for the course planned, so basically, everything this week has not been tested, I spend a lot of time doing the settings each week, to make sure everything plays the way it should, this week, everything is up in the air.

Yeah, people will need to remember it was supposed to be a different course. I played alright but I am going through the motions as I await to finally get my PS5 hopefully by next week.

What an absolute dumpster fire that third round was. Finished at bloody +12. Put four in the water on the 6th because I suddenly lost control of my tempo after playing reasonable up to that point. Red slow, red fast, back to red slow, grey fast, finally made it across on the fifth attempt then left the next shot short in the bunker and reached the shot limit.
Not blaming the conditions as I'd worked out pretty early how much distance I'd lose into the wind, and on crosswinds. But after that deflating 6th I just lost interest in trying to get back into it, couldn't hit my tempo all that well and I don't even really feel like playing the next round because it's largely a waste of time after that shitshow. I might get it done tonight and forget this week.

Just prepping for my kinetic debut next week.Shot -8 for 2 rounds which would easily get me above cut line.Loved the third round winds.Really a blast driving a 429 yard par 4.And even hitting a 487 yard drive on the 16 th hole.

Back to somewhat regular programming in the last with a -4, to finish a lowly -4 for the week. Might do a recalibration again, will see how I go with my tempo over the next few days before next week first. This round was better than the third but still not as consistent as I have been the last 2-3 weeks.

-6 in R1 and -2 in R2 for -8 overall. Hopefully enough to make the cut.
In R1 I found myself +4 after 3 holes after bogeying 2 and triple bogeying 3 after hitting it into the water twice, went -10 for the final 15 holes (including a lipped out eagle putt and flopping a shot on hole 15 to within a yard of the hole) so felt I left a lot on the table. Then in R2 managed to triple bogey again but on the second hole this time with a 3 putt and went -5 for the rest of the round (with one more bogey).
So one one hand happy with my scoring as felt I played pretty well, just frustrating that I lost 6 shots on just two holes where I would be on for an easy top 10 right now otherwise.
Also for those of us that play rounds back to back - going from med/slow to very fast greens was absolutely brutal ha.

+10 through 9 (+13 just on #3 and #6), managed to get my next 27 holes done in +1. About to be in the four demo point club.
Was actually happy with my tempo for round 2, just sloppy on/around the greens.
I look forward to Lonely Dell Ranch, just hope I'll still be on Kinetic at that point.

R3 was a struggle. E to remain at -15, T13 thru 54
not a good round for the timing to be off. the hilarious thing is i made 9 birdies en-route to the E R3. don't want to talk about the other 9...
