Well after a -11 in which I felt I really had to struggle to get, I shot a -5 second round. I'm not sure what HB did with the patch, be it changing Frames per Second on the PC or anything at all with putting, I can honestly say for round 2, 3 and four I have never missed so many 7-12 foot putts in a tournament. I talked with Brionne when it first came out that balls seemed to be breaking a lot more than normal and i backtracked a bit on that as I practiced more, but 95% of my putts slid under the hole, more times than not starting off fine and then breaking HUGELY at the hole, even though the lines were the same speed. I'm not complaining about the changes or the course, just saying something has changed that i couldn't adjust to. If my -16 makes the cut, I finished with -31 which is just sickening, considering before the patch, I shot -51 for the four rounds. In this tourney it was all about the putting. I was not throwing darts but over 75% of my shots were within 15 feet and I just couldn't make a putt. Good luck to everyone! Gotta figure all this out Sorry to be the nae sayer, but HB have changed nothing with the actual putting. May have to do with optimisation and your swing is more/less fluent, but that's all I can think that may be affecting you. Check the patch notes as I am not 100% sure on this as I only briefly glanced at them myself HB has said to me they changed neither putting or wind and yet, Bradley, Brionne and I all have seen something different. For Brionne it was not being able to stick shots, for Bradley and me it was putting was completely foreign to us. Perhaps the only time I'm noticing the better fluidity is in putting, don't know. i know that my FPS went from 80-100 to 120-140!! I actually had to turn it down cause I was blasting putts 1 1 / 2 times to 2 x farther from the hole. As I said I'm not complaining per se, I am just saying something is different that is taking time to adjust to

Oh dang. I'm at lowest settings possible for tournaments and still only get 40-45 fps. I've jacked a few 10'ftrs 30ft since the patch, which I've never done before. It's something to do with the frame rate change that's impacting us. It's just an adjustment for me, I've been missing all Putts early in round, and then making most late in the round

Threw up 64,64 thru 2 rounds. Left a couple putts out there in round 1. Being E after 8 in second round i played a solid back 9 to get another 64. Would think that gets me to the weekend but scores are low. Tough course. Lovin it.

62 and 65 my first 2 rounds for -17, should barely make the cut. This course, yow. I felt like I played well enough hitting fairways and greens in regulation but this course is all about sinking putts. I am probably not the only one that can say a few inches here and there and you could easily take 5 strokes off your posted score. Only reached 1 par 5 in 2, wind wasn't blowing enough for me, this course may actually benefit from playing in higher winds.

The cut could be -16, maybe -15. For my own sake I hope it's -15

My 66-64 sure is not going to cut it. Missed too many <=8ft puts on those tricky slopes. The scores are low but consider the best players from BOTH PGA and Euro are in the tournament, so the cut line ought to be really low. Luckily, I spoke too soon, the cut line IS -14.

Lot's of no shows or someone needs to check that big pond by hole 17 as I saw a big gator on the shore chewing on what appeared to be a a few tattered pairs of plus fours.

I say suspend all of the players that didn't play.

About 10% noshows - better than usual...
But - "you sign up, you step up" is a good policy. Maybe a function to actively withdraw during tournament with a max number you can use over a season would be in place - and then DQs and penalties for the ones who just no-show?

I noticed that 'sometimes' there are players who just don't submit. Maybe they played last weekend and forgot to submit... or maybe... Who knows.

I'm guessing they play, but don't post, maybe they're worried about missing the cut, and they don't want a missed cut stat on their profile, so a WD is more acceptable...I could be wrong.

Wow my 46 under is at the top of the leaderboard. Now I have to wait all day to see if it holds up. 2 players have a good chance to catch me. Brionne needs to shot 13 under & Tim (burtoncat) needs to shot 15 under.
