Ramjr, Don't feel too bad, I was at +21 after 2, ended up at +35. Haven't played this bad since Q-School. Not really that bad of playing, more of a difficult course with the error thing, just can't seem to sink the putts when they are needed for the par. I think the course is a good course, for those who have exceptional skills. For those of us who just haven't reached a good consistency level (and I don't mean consistently making bogies or worse), this kind of course is more than hard. Am wondering how long it will take before the groupings balance out more. With courses like this and the strikes start to build, will not be too long before CC-Z will be home for more players such as myself. Am trying to be optimistic, but can only see a downwards path for myself with courses of this caliber. That is OK, but moving up is a thing of the past, IMHO, until I learn to not lose the leads I earn on the course and the putting improves. Really do feel exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Kiwi, You are triggering my OCD on two things here. 1. "At All" ?? if you are trying to address "Everyone", I think you mean "Et al" which is Latin meaning "and others"
2. TFN?? Till Further Notice or Total F'ng Nightmare. (Or Both)
Last we heard from you, major computer problems, still? If so, hope you get it fixed, you missed all the fun this week!! Hope this isn't turning out as a capital expenditure for you i.e. new computer or something in that arena. Have some friends here who are experiencing some computer issues also, but more in the area of not getting 100% power on their shots. Anyway, hope you are back in action soon, know your fans are cheering for you! Get well soon.

#1. Whoever created Hoodoo Hills deserves a kick to the nuts.
#2. I downloaded an update yesterday. Since then I can rarely get my swing over 91%. I used to be able to hit 100% all the time. Now every swing is around 91 or 92. It is killing my score.

Finished my tournament. I shot +15, +2, +14 and +18.
By far the worst I have ever played. The first round I had a +7 on one hole. Besides that I was not upset with everything else. I think it is hole 3, where the pin is if you don't approach the green correctly you have a heck of a time getting on. Round 2 shot a +2. Felt really good. Then all heck broke loose.
Tuesday night I tried to play but there was an update. So I downloaded it and then last night I got on. Ever since I downloaded the update 90-95% of all my shots are between 89% and 93% power. It absolutely screwed me. On a course like this where there oob that cross the fairway and raised greens if you are not on point power wise you are screwed. I estimate this cost 10-12 strokes every round. I would not have been in contention either way but having to post scores like this when there is nothing I can do about it is hard to swallow.

I went to do a practice round to see if I could figure this out. I hit 20 tee shots in a row. Trying as hard as possible to increase the power in my swing every time I didn't get 100% the result: 75% of my swings resulted in 90-94% power. The other 25% were 99-100%
This is something has never been an issue for me. I've always been able to easily hit max or near max power. I'm not sure if I am going to play next week's event if it remains the same.

After reading the HB Studies forums and some info here about the PS4 update I found out that I am not alone in my struggles. Apparently HB Studios changed their swing mechanics that they have been using for the last year. Wish I would have read about that before I played my second and third round. After reading what the devs said this update makes loft almost mind boggling to use since you will rarely hit 100%.

Hi Bobbyfunk, Sorry about your problems, some of my friends are having similar issues, but on the PC version. Not sure of the controllers they use, but issue is the same. So my question for you is did the developers at HB say anything about this update being a mistake or is it something that all PS4 players have to live with from now on. Is it a bug problem, just seems unfair that someone would have to deal with this and lose the ability to swing at 100%, no matter where you were on the loft chart. Thanks for anything to enlighten me on this issue, seems weird to me.

To be blunt this was an awful course. I play to enjoy myself and I found playing this course was not enjoyable but a chore and I couldnt wait to finish. I still finished under par for the tournament but almost gave up after the first round. Allan.

Another poster said that he played on PC and on ps4. He got 100% everyone on PC but had the same issue as I have on ps4. (He claimed he was using the same controller ) If this is the way they are keeping the game I think I will have to leave the tour. All the time I have put in on this game has been wasted. All the loft charts, everything are useless with these changes. I have played for about 3 hours today trying to figure out how to figure it out but my results are the same. I am going to keep on eye on the HB forums. Hopefully they will adjust something.

At All ... Out of action TFN Orion an friends
Good point , I have pick up a few non English words over the years, or words from other languages ... anyways it was meant @ All ...info if you will, to let all my good friends here in E for awesome know,
I'm out of action, till (A) I could afford a site compliant mouse (B)an or afford a site compliant controller
(C)BUT!!!
I use a Logitech mouse ,I have used or tried to use the Logitech controller The mouse is triggering the wonderful API an the controller only gets 95% no matter how or what I try.
So to you All, Sorry for cheating I got caught
I didn't realize my mouse axis was fixed, I did semi notice most my shot/s lines were straight, but not at the 0 point or square in the back of my mind.
*from reading about s8 shooting, In my mind, I assumed it meant 1-3 pixals from the 0 or square point, it didn't dawn on me for one minute that I would be emailed with ...aka s8 shooter*
Firstly : To the Site an you Gents ...I was warned/emailed,but let off with a technically ( The powers to be looked at the (my)data, mine was so close,yet there were deviations noted,the powers to be have set there benchmark API at a level higher than mine, but there was a mention of IF,I dont need or want an if thanks,no thanks)
Second: I ,not only let the Site an you Gents down, as well as myself ...never assume!
The rules are the rules, there are no if/s or buts or whens ... I've had to think long an hard, to me its the right thing to do as a sportsman or sportsmanship should. I have asked to set down from my Ranger role as well as taking a break from TGC (not sure,I'll come back to be honest) I'm no cheat an don't like being called or labelled as such, this hasn't gone well at all here, I'm more pissed at Logitech or my naivety an or my assumption of s8 shooting.
Now I have cleared the air, so to speak ... I await your Gents hangman's noose an or words of cheat/s8 shooter.. an of course words of yes, he should've known it was an outside device, yes its in the rules.
Yours One Unknowingly, but now wise with Logitech equipment an its fixed axis...
(Word of wisdom to the wise or unwary, to anyone using Logitech device/s for TGC ...be careful ,an ask the powers to be, to check/test your equipment before getting the dreaded s8 shooter email)
Thanks Logitech ....NOT!!!

Kiwi, I was not aware of the issue of you being called out. I'm truly sorry for the predicament you find yourself in and I can appreciate your fears and worries about the public ridicule you might endure. You will not find me to be one of those that are calling for blood on this issue. I can only take your word on the problem and honestly, since I do not know if all the ones that were caught by the new data information were announced publicly, I have not heard of any such publication of names or anything like that. I will take your word and the apology as truly from the heart and know that it could be an honest mistake. I will say that if this was not public knowledge, then I do applaud you for telling it like it is, you certainly did not have to mention this here, so I thank you for that move and the guts it takes to say so. I will not go any further with this as I know you have some thinking to do, but if you want to drop me a private message, feel free to. I do feel that people who have been or will be caught at sometime do deserve a chance to redeem themselves for the "cheating" as it is, I can also believe that one could be ignorant of what controllers are deemed illegal, I personally have never seen a list of illegal controllers but do know that adjustable axis types are forbidden and have known that since the tour started. I think every player is responsible for finding out info on their controllers and should be aware of the ones that can be adjusted. So, having said all of that, I will take your word on the not knowing and will give you no static on it. I do not swim with the sharks as it were. So, let me know what your are planning to do about the situation, if you want to, no obligation on your part. Thanks again for the coming forward with this, I would have never known it had you not said anything. I am shocked by that news, but do realize that it could have not been on purpose or intentional on your part. So, you take it easy and touch base if you so choose.

Bobbyfunk, Can fully understand the frustration and hopefully something can be done for the PS4 players. Just think the "true golf swing" response is something really strange and makes me a little uncomfortable about any future upgrades that may come down the road. Its a good thing for HB to try to refine the program, but at what cost to the hundreds of players that seem to be affected by this. With some of the video issues that have happened with certain cards and things of that nature, I do understand the multitude of issues that can be found on the releases that come out. Just seems that their testing should have found this issue before they released it. Not sure if they test every release on every platform that is in current use, but you would think that would be standard practice. This goes way beyond my comfort level, but as an engineer myself, I understand the importance of testing all that can be tested, especially on an established product line. Hope they find a resolution for you guys soon. Thanks for getting back to me on this, much appreciated and hope to see you out on the course ASAP.
