Whoohoo internet back up!! Didn't manage to stay bogey free in the 1st round ... the 16th got me. And wow .. that approach on the 18th was scaaarrrry , nice two putt for par though. -18 After three rounds, double bogey on the 18th in the 3rd round had to do with karma I guess. Got a little cocky with the approach and found the water. Ohw well, very much in the mix for a good result.. and keeping myself well inside the Top 70 of the FedEx Cup.

I played with you all 4 rounds, alternate shot the last 2. Seemed like you caught several 9x% shots and of course that LW you blasted 60 yards past the par 5 green. Pretty amazing you managed a -29 after all that and the disaster start. Yeah it was an LW punch that went way too far. Someone els here had the same issue where a punch much further than they were anticipating. That is the first punch shot I've used in like 2 months. I was stymied behind the tree after my 3 wood layup which a nice majestic lofted shot lol. I had a gap and did have the option of chipping out and make 5, but felt I had to be aggressive with the relatively light winds and scoring conditions. +4 through 6 I just wasn't mentally in the game with playing enough fade or draw back against quartering cross winds at 21mph. And I'm still acclimating to the swing change, specifically the pause at the top of the backswing. ya that was me, in a headwind on round one, i punched a high iron (maybe a pw) and it flew about 30 yards further than the suggested carry, this made no sense to me, especially into the winds. and i do happen to punch every now and then, never seen that before.

Got chewed up and spit out a bunch of times this week! Carded my worst round on tours eclipsing my 75...new target is now 76! Putter went cold in the middle and had to shoot a decent 4th to look respectable. Now just need to make the cut!

Absolutely ridiculous and I'm not talking about the wind, ps4 is unplayable in those conditions ATM, any shot less than 100% is gone in the cross winds and that's basically every shot I hit if there's no fix for this soon I'm out.

Are you riding the wind or playing draws and fades back into the wind? The latter is preferable almost mandatory.

Ok sorry it's just me that it's unplayable for I wish I was as talented as u nc.
I'm talkin when a ball isn't hit at 100% force it's impossible FOR ME to get my line, it's far from enjoyable ATM.

Your post read to me as if you weren't able to get 100 and.when you don't it goes awol. If that's the case then it's your issue to fix to get the required swing the game needs to hit 100. If you are talking about shots that are deliberately aimed at less than 100% then I can't comment on that as I never player a.shot aiming to be less than 100 unless it's a flop

Ur 2nd paragraph is bang on apart from its up to me to fix, I'm a paying customer of the tgc and if I think it's went to sh%$ then for me il be taking my custom else were and going by the amount of complaints on the issue so far I'm not the only 1.
If this was real life then ur points fair enough it would definitely be up to me to fix but the reality is there's a lot of customers pissed ATM and I'm 1 of them.

The update has not been great for me. This tourney with the high winds plus the fact that I'm worried if my shots will be 100% lead to a poor effort. I can get 100% the majority of the time now, but then there are just random swings where I get mid 90's and it always leads to a bogey or worse. I've never had to worry about 100% shots before and now it dominates my thinking on every swing. Not only to do I have to factor in the wind, elevation and distances, but I have to factor in the fact that I might get a 95% shot. So on holes with bunkers or water in front, I have to factor in the risk/reward of hoping I get 100% or playing an extra club and just going long if I get 100%. That sucks. But I have to decide if I'd rather try to get up and down for par or try for the 100% shot and bring a double into play. I know that is a real life risk reward scenario, but the randomness of the game shouldn't determine that for me, it should be my skill. This is not really a complaint, it's more stating the facts of what my rounds are like now. I still love the game and this tour, but I'd would be lying if I said I was as excited about it as I was before the update.

I just shot a -34, best on PS4 by 5 shots. Leaderboard isn't showing it but I'm hoping for the best. The new wind RULES! Superb shooting! I have played this as a non-PGA card holder, but have shot rounds under par in all three I played so far. I like to compare myself to the above tier. I am a simple -9 through three (-1 -5 -3) basically can't buy a putt. That is a tremendous score. Hope it holds up for a top finish, even a win, for you, sir! I played round 4 and twitched a user or two this AM. Since this was unofficial for me, I played ripped (in the bag, slammed, drunk, etc). I Shot Even par in the easiest and lowest winds. Oh well. Kudos to those that can go low like I saw out there.

As for wind, curious to see how the future tourneys go. So far seems like HB has gone a little overboard. I have played 8 rounds of tourney golf this week and 6 of them have been winds 16-21 mph, and the others above 10. No tourney I have ever seen had 4 straight days of high winds. I hope their formula does better than this and this was just a fluke. I'm very happy were all getting same winds, just making an observation. Those winds were brutal. Loved the course and would like to have played at least one day of low winds.

yeah winds were brutal. I was pretty much toast after round one. I soldiered on though. No more WD's for me!

I totally agree man! Not being able to hit 100% power is killing me!! If i could just hit 100 consistently like before the update I could probably finish top 40 and earn my PGA card as I'm playing on a sponsor's exemption this week. The wind is tough but it's not the reason my rounds have been so poor. I can live with 99% but I'm all over the place with 89's,91's & 94's. This game is just not enjoyable when I'm trying to compete. Anybody got any tips that I can try so I can get back to hitting the ball with full power? Thanks
