Thought I'd pander to my OCD and set up threads for the CC divisions for Season 8.
Hopefully they'll be plenty to chat about, build rivalries, brag and moan and groan. May the cut be in your favour.
Good luck.

R1 -5 thru 5....finished -6. Why? Coz tempo went to sh%$ for a few holes through no fault of mine. Just seems pointless trying to compete on this system. Oh well, we struggle on.

-10 just to get in the top half?! Next game can't come quick enough. But, early days but there are some competitive Xbox scores out there. So that's obviously a good thing.
I don't feel like I played particularly well but I chipped in a couple of times and made a nice tap in eagle on 18 to get it to -11. Hoping that the easier settings doesn't equal hurricanes for every round!

Interesting to see what the scores are gonna be like with these settings…I’m guessing crazy good but it’s a lot more fun to me. Shot pretty well for the first time out.
-10, -15, -10, -13 = -48

Lol, properly back to TGC1 scoring! But that's ok, scoring is all relative and it's great to see 3 Xboxers in the top 10. It's been a while...
And thankfully I'm one of them! Had a slow start to the second round with a bunch of red fasts off the tee and a couple of burned edges. -2 thru 6 but I got it together from there to card a 58 and get in the mix. Only annoyance was leaving a 20 foot eagle putt on 18 half a roll short of the cup, but I've putted pretty well overall so I can't complain.
I think I'm enjoying it!

It's unfortunate to hear that this major change to pro clubs isn't helping the X-Boxers. I feel like it was a big reason for the change and if it's just leading to negative feelings from the PS4/PC guys for making it easier while the Xbox players are still feeling frustrated then it just kind of stinks for everyone...

Look around every level and you'll see Xbox players at or towards the top of the leaderboards, including this one. It's not the way I would choose to play this game either but the early results would suggest it has definitely narrowed the gap. Don't use one person's frustration as a justification for your position on this. And also don't pretend it's just Xboxers who have been struggling, there are plenty of PS/PC players who are very happy about this change too!

Right after I posted I saw your comment indicating the opposite, you're right I shouldn't take one comment as representative of the whole population. Hopefully positivity is the more general feeling for the XBox crew. I still think based on what I've read the majority of PS4/PC preferred Masters over Pros....myself included. However, if it makes things more even for the XBox players I've come to accept it as a step towards making things better for the community as a whole. I'm just hopeful it is going to accomplish that.

At the end of the day it can never be an exactly even playing field unless they fix the polling points issue on Xbox, even on Pro. And there are many of us who prefer the challenge of Masters. But this does seem to have given us a fighting chance of competing. Early days of course...

I still get real shitty tempo from time to time (like in R1 here which likely cost me a handful of strokes)...I just wanted to point that out. If I'm the exception rather than the norm then I'm glad. I finished -29 which is way off the pace but not exactly shabby either.
Seems to me most XB's are getting on just fine with the change.
