The dreaded message is in: “ You have earned a PROMOTION! You have now earned a Platinum card!” I’ll keep updated… 😂 At least you won the promo event, which is probably close to the hardest to win with a field size that big! Congratulations... I guess? Making it sound like it's not a prize worth winning!

Missed cut for me this week but to be honest I was more annoyed about ruining my shoes traversing the stream to get to the 18th green! That RJWills fella owes me some vc 🤣
Brilliant course and a good test, sadly I was not quite up to it. A birdie eagle finish has at least saved me from taking any damage by the looks of it. On to next week.

Loved the course. 3 halfway decent rounds with many barely missed putts and finally put together a solid 4th round. Might even sneak out with one of those green things next to my name.

Can't wait to get back here 😩. Absolutely ridiculous course in Platinum this week. If it's tour worthy then there's something wrong.

Ahhh the mysteries of being in a schedulers head. I know a guy in band of brothers that would tell them ALL about how their settings are awful….should we sick him on em? 🤣 Can't wait to get back here 😩. Absolutely ridiculous course in Platinum this week. If it's tour worthy then there's something wrong.

Doyley showing potential investors around the scheduler's office.

I'm out for another week. Not worth putting myself through competitive rounds when I just don't feel like playing at all, with 3 demos under the belt. Maybe it would be better to get the final killing blow into me and see this inevitable demotion through, and then start seeing how far I slide down until I finally get to a good point of competitiveness. But then again, is it really the correct way to go out? Not sure if this break will be a longer one, depends on how things go from here. Right now, the mental place I'm in with this game combined with a high standard of Elite would lead to a quick, swift demotion any week I play and it's not the way I want this to end. This is not a swinging shot at any schedulers, not any powers that be. You are not to blame for any of this, it's simply a result of putting playing efforts in for so long and then the game cycle taking its toll on you to a point where I barely want to play anymore. Hopefully y'all have fun. Once I feel like trying again, I'll make myself known as I tend to do. Being the chatty, result sharing person that I am and seem to always be. Good luck!

Stone motherless last this week. What a disgrace !! Back to Kinetic. I must say it's a shame these wonderful courses have to be played with F/VF green speeds and HIGH WINDS every round. I do wish TGCT would change TST to have settings akin to the TAN league I have infrequently participated in this year. Good luck to all !!

Interesting green in Round 3 Platinum this week 🤔. Seriously, WTF.

Interesting green in Round 3 Platinum this week 🤔. Seriously, WTF. I don’t want to pile on. I’ve been guilty of it in the past and I regret burning bridges or annoying people. But in the spirit of feedback. I feel TGCT has lost something (for me!) these past few years because of this. It feels a lot less like an attempt to recreate an actual golf tour and more a kind of half-whacky game. Which, tbf may well work, for most. But I’ve gone from playing every week and looking forward to every week, and recommending it to everyone to simply not being able to finish a round anymore. Again, it’s almost certainly a personal thing but the likes of that green just aren’t what I want from a golf game.

And to be clear I don’t expect, and I’m not asking for, change. Doyley always makes the right decision for numbers and healthy participation. But in terms of a grounded golf game, it ain’t that anymore on these settings or courses imo.

Exactly blueblood if the swing changed to legend then you could tone down the conditions and have some real decent realistic courses with reasonable set ups involved especially on the pro tours . It's the same with TST give it a change its totally dead on xbox , keep it to masters but take the marker off, 61 under the leader 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's not true sim . Something different perfect time to try it before the new game gets announced perhaps

I do wish TGCT would change TST to have settings akin to the TAN league I have infrequently participated in this year. Good luck to all !! Scheduling is impossible. Our DM:s and inboxes gets flooded when we set the courses up too easy and the winner shoots -55. They also get flooded when we make it tougher and the winner shoots -40 with a -14 cutline. We try to set it up as a test for the top half of Elite who would've played plat if it wasn't halved in size, whilst not make it a complete birdie fest.
The span between player skills in Elite is enormous at the moment and we can't cater for all needs. Our Major weeks will always be tough, such as next week at Peconic, while we try to throw in easier courses in between. But we never set it up to settings and speeds which haven't cleared rangering, or we think won't play well. That said, we'll always miss out from time to time, we don't have the time to playtest all four pins from 360 degrees including all possible places you might miss the greens in. And maybe, in Elite it's OK to say "if you miss the green in the wrong spot, you're in prison" a bit more than on Kinetic.
Our main goal is presenting the course as well as we can (which is why we'll never use a soft fairways-very firm greens setups, or other meme settings), whilst providing a challenge for all elite players (and you'll see a drop in very fast greens the coming 10 weeks).

Not impossible but I do appreciate the challenges involved. My comments were mostly directed at the game itself and perhaps the lack of a truly SIM style category in TGCT. Keep up the good work.
