It would have been nice, but I believe that -36 had already been shot by Hazard31(Gareth Mitchell) on PS4. Now that's some incredible shooting there. Anyway, there are still many great players left to play. You haven't posted any scores yet, I don't know if you've played yet? You're definitely capable.That score could still be beaten, I think that -40 is possible, I certainly had a chance of shooting that. It takes a lot of luck with the bounces as well as skill with these difficult holes though.

61,64,63,65 for a -31 finish. I played a few of the practice tours that were setup, thanks to Brighttail and crazycanuck for that. I never managed to go that low in those so I have to be happy with my score. Round 1 was pretty much flawless golf in blustery, changeable winds 7-11mph. Round 2 was a strange round, it should be the easiest of the four but I just don't play it well at all. I don't think that I adjust well to the softer conditions? Winds were very similar, but I just couldn't get it going. I started with a bogey from the ideal spot in the middle of the fairway, next hole I holed my second shot for eagle then holed my trap shot on 3 to go -3 through 3. i just seemed to stall after that and finished my round at -7, pretty disappointing. Round three I played very well but missed two 5 foot putts, so could have had a really nice round if those had dropped. Happy with -8 though. The last round was one of those, the winds were at there lowest of the week 3-9 mph. I started poorly but made a couple of clutch par saving putts on 1 and 2. I then made 4 birdies on the spin, so I started thinking it could be a good round. Unfortunately I parred the next nine holes, missing some good chances and making some bad errors of judgement regarding shot selection. I was hoping for a low last round but it just didn't happen. Over all I was very happy to shoot -31 on such a tough course, but with a bit more care and bravery when needed, I could have had a shot of winning this. A real shame that the wind situation was changed just before this major championship. It is hard to tell how good your scores are compared to others when we are all playing in different conditions. Strength of wind is not too much of an issue as long as it isn't over about 12mph. But direction is key to many of these holes. If it isn't in a helpful direction some of these holes are so difficult to play, just finding fairways can be a nightmare with unhelpful winds. Hopefully it might be good enough to get a top 5 finish? A fantastic course that really tests everything, especially patience. Good luck to those yet to play. Great shooting Bradley! Takes nerves of steel to shoot that low for 4 rounds.

Not enjoying this course and just can't get into it. shot -9 after 2 rounds...

You string a couple 59s (as difficult as it may seem), you're right there in it.

I want to see that 59 round. Wish it was up on youtube! Yeah, sorry. I never broadcast/stream my rounds. One I wish I would have saved though. I need to remind myself to broadcast all of my rounds.

Same old junk.
Ton of 96%. Unrealistic green bounce. Pins in places where greens lie about the break.
Can't believe I am about to say this but this is getting old. The courses TGCTours are picking just to make it tough is right where this game's biggest problems are. Unrealistic Green Bounce and Pins on crests where HB's green grid system is hugely flawed. Its gotten to the point where I don't believe what a green reads anymore. With or without the grid.
TGCTours please stop picking designed courses that take advantage of these flaws. Its taking the "sim" out of the game and turning this into some sort of weird golf challenge.
Just my two cents.

Very deceptive challenging reads on greens but not had 1 miss where iv gone "eh?"

Its taking the "sim" out of the game and turning this into some sort of weird golf challenge. Just my two cents. As I stated before, I understand that the US Open needs to be more difficult and for this particular tournament I'm okay with many of the things done. Still this course was never designed for the hard firmness. If it was it would have never been published originally with the medium firmness. The creator did a good job in many ways to give us plenty of room for those conditions, but sadly I see the point you are making. If HB had uniform winds for everyone this course would have been unplayable in high winds and I feel sorry for those who thought the wind patch was still live and played in those winds, when it was later retracted. I fully understand the desire to make TGC more difficult and lower scores and I will say again, the answer is NOT to tweak out with firmness tweaks when the course is not designed for it. Courses like Magnolia and the Challenge Club were difficult without that particular tweak (they had their own issues but that isn't the point of this post). Concerning the grid system. I don't think it is bugged as it was intended to be an average of the slope rather than an perfect reflection. That being said, the bug that is prevalent is if you look at the putt from behind the hole after you have putted, you will now see the break lines that weren't there, however slight they suddenly appear when they weren't there on the original putt. Perhaps holes should not be placed in these positions if possible as HB is looking into this situation as they have stated on the forums.

I think we're being a little unfair to reebdog about the greens, because I highly doubt he designed them to have these weird grids and invisible breaks. It'd be almost impossible to. I have quite a few of them on my course as well, and I never intended to. They come from very sloped greens with breaks in different directions coming in contact. It's unfortunate TGC's grids can't display different speeds of break in one grid, but don't blame the designer for creating this. We're just trying to build complex greens that make the putter think. Btw, this isn't aimed directly at anyone. It's more so just a general statement after seeing more and more people talk about the grids.

Round 1 shot -3 in a poor round hit some shockers and did not deserve -3
Round 2 shot -5 again really poor. Played twice in practice and shot -9 and -11 and both could of been really low. But cannot do it in comps consistantly at the moment.
Round 3 shot -10 which was much improved but had 2 chip ins and 1 flop for birdie. Still loads of shots i have no idea how they end up where they do since that update. Had similar issue after the last update. Will be reinstalling game when i get home as it worked last time.
Round 4 triple bogey at the 1st which was a terrible start so left the game alone for a bit. Gone working away from home so doubt il be finishing this in time.
Hope hb stop making the game worse after these updates as its costing money replacing these broken controllers. Might start taping elastic or a boomerang to my controller so it comes back to me after i have thrown it.
