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. The Euro Tour winds were all single digits until the final round which was 10-11. It really is random. Seems to me the PGA was a tough ish course made much tougher by the winds.

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. 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 Your tempo on your upswing of the analog stick (golfers downswing) needs to be faster than previously or you won't hit 100%. Just make sure you swing it all the way back and you can hold it at the top as well

Well, I shot -1,-7, to get safely into the weekend, but that first round was a rollercoaster. 5 birdies, 4 bogeys, and only 53% fairways hit lol. Seems like the 2 most holes that are talked about are #16 & #18. Oddly enough, Ive par'd 16 both rounds, but I've bogeyed 18 in both rounds. If I could stop making bogeys, I might be able to squeak out a Top 10 out of this thing...

Are you riding the wind or playing draws and fades back into the wind? The latter is preferable almost mandatory. Normally I prefer playing with fades and draws against the wind. But with these strong winds I thought it was easier to change tactics and play with the wind. And it suited me well. +2 and -8 for a -6 after 2 rounds. As always, I blew it on the greens and left many, many putts too short (often enough on the line ). I loved the challenge of the high winds and love the way the wind patch works now. Anyone else thinking that they changed the chipping? I left all my chips too short, sometimes far too short? Got used to the new swing mechanics on PS4. Can live with it now. Totally hating it for chip, pitch and short iron shots. Nobody in the world plays those clubs with such a fast swing. These are touch shots and should also be played like this!

First Rd was challenging. Hit more fairways than I suspected. I went in telling myself E was OK, between adjusting to my new swing and the winds. Hit alot of greens, as I played to the middle and accepted I was gonna have to hit some putts to score. Final tally first rd- E. Not great but was what I said I'd be happy with and I am. Second Rd I had alot of good looks at birdie, butt my putter obviously didn't want me to get cocky so only managed a - 3. Played first 2 Rds solid, just not good. For the adjustments over the last week I'm OK with being in the top 40 after 2 rds, as of now. Will give my final 2 rds a go tonight.

I'm not hitting the ball as straight as I used to but I'll figure that out later.

Anyone else thinking that they changed the chipping? I can not confirm that from what I've seen happening on my rounds.

Love all these new stats on the site. I'm third in gir. But tied for 10th. That means I can't putt worth a s/)$@

This course/wind kicked me directly in the twig 'n berries. By round four I was just playing speed golf as I was way out of it.
Yay for next time! heh.
