-8 -12 -10 -7 First round and last round let me down, middle two rounds could and should have been even better but that's golf for ya!! -37 ain't a bad score and happy (I hope) to have made cut again sitting at -20 at the half way point (100% cuts made so far this season). I just need to focus a bit more during these tourney rounds as I always go after pins when sometimes being conservative is the better play. Good luck to all still to play and well played those guys siting on -40's. Good shooting!! ⛳️

I think cut will be -13/-14, so -20 should be very safe mate.

First round I was on fire, maybe the best round I've had with a 58. All my putts were going in. Progressively got worse, second round 62 and the third round a terrible 69 and nothing was going in. One hole I 4 putted. Had to stop myself from playing the fourth round.

What's the general opinion on here on using ghost balls during tourney rounds, a help or a hindrance? I tend to blitz my rounds early and then have an agonising wait until the next one starts and hence I've never bothered using them.

I've started using 1 ghost & turning "turn enabled" on, it makes it like more like real golf.

I always play with three ghost balls, but never use them to dictate the shots as 2/3 practice rounds is enough for me to get the layout of the course. I enjoy seeing good shots/putts from the ghosts.

Think I play my rounds too early, it's an agonising wait, just to see the Monday Leaderboard! I'm claiming a clubhouse lead of -44 though! Nobody can take that away from me..... Yet... I think I played with your ghost the last couple of rounds. Very well done!

Wow. You guys are setting a really high bar. I think I'll start my rounds after lunch here.

I tend to blitz my rounds early and then have an agonising wait until the next one starts and hence I've never bothered using them. I am too impatient to wait for others to play and generate me a ghost ball. I'm usually done before 11pm pst on Friday nights. The last time I used a ghost I tourney was Doak Valley. For the agonizing wait, I usually go through and play the PGA and euro tourneys and even cc sometimes. Then there's always joining the Rangers with three or four new courses to try each week.

I always play with one ghost. Having three ghosts could get annoying. Usually, the only consistent help you will get from a ghost ball is off the tee.

Last week I did something I promised myself I would never do - playing my rounds after an 8hr shift at work.....and obviously I didn't make the cut. With that in mind this week I was able to practice earlier a couple of rounds, felt ok about the course and then decided to go on with my tournament rounds today (on Sunday), which I never did. Plus, as I felt good on the course, I did all 4 rounds in a streak. Went pretty well, could become a habit 63 (-9)63 (-9)62 (-10)58 (-14)For a total score of -42 I'm not going to stay under the cut that easy again Edit - about ghosts I don't know how you do guys. I can't play with ghosts around. I always play alone in official tournaments or alternate with a friend online on the TST Tour, playing the same rounds together

So just now round 4 I entered the 6th hole at -3.....
I have about a 6 pmh wind in face from like 1p to 7pm.... My yardage is 160 yards by my calculations... I take a 3 iron loft it to just under the third loft mark which should be about 162 yards...
I take a swing, John even says great swing or whatever he says... damn ball goes 139 yards dead in middle of the lake.....I screamed WTH....Wife reminded me just a game AGAIN...
Dead on shot, great swing,and a three iron goes 139 yards at 100% with barely a 6 mph wind.... RIIIIGGGHHHHTTTTT

Sounds to me like you max lofted by accident, Terry. I've never had similar happen in any of the hundreds of rounds I've played, unless it was clearly my error.
