I have only completed 1 round so far, tempted not to bother with the rest. Swing mechanics are totally stuffed for this event (on PS4 anyway, cant speak for other platforms) the 100% swing is practically non existent, even on drives which is truly inspiring. I have literally no problem with 100% shots prior to this and I just went on checked on another course afterward to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, nope my swing is fine. I had encountered this in practice a little bit, but it has just become impossible to deal with, hitting any iron at more than 94% is quite an achievement for me right now. I can somehow get it to work occasionally but it feels like a I have to hold the backswing for about 2 seconds longer than normal to do that, why should we have to (try) adjust our swing mechanics for one event. Really not happy, the scoreboard for PS4 is not healthy right now, I know there's only 8 people on it but this course it easier than last week in every way and the best after 1 round is -3 which is 1 better than I fared. Not in anyway blaming the designer because it's not something they control. If other people are noticing this, please say. Not fun at all currently... not fun

Just finished, not happy at all. Think its really unfair having to change the way you physically play for one tournament, when you cant even drive more than on occasion 85% then some holes just become a question of lets not double bogey here please; it always brings way to much rough into play. The only time for example I was able to drive more than 90% on the final hole was the last round! Nothing wrong with the course, just hate to be placed at a disadvantage. Even the course creator says there is a swing difference on PS4 compared to PC. Good to be playing on a nice even field... Oh wait nope!

I feel your frustration, I refuse to play TGC on the PS4 (Only fire it up just to test the course for play-ability - I don't even expect a good score), HB Studios swears there is no difference between systems. I have experienced otherwise for too long.
They ruined the Mouse play for me on PC. I refuse to buy the game for XBone ... I would have bought it a while ago, but no longer can justify it.
Prior to the last set of changes in swing mechanics, and patches that seemed to make it worse. But there are still others that swear they experience no problems at all, on any system. I have really lost my desire to play the game as much. Especially in tournaments, as there is too much frustration, when the putts go crazy at the worse time.
I still like designing, but even that has slowed way down.

I feel your pain Philip. I didn't have any real swing problems (just a couple of high 90's). Shot a 70 in round one but found a groove in the 2nd and shot a 60. At the halfway point -12 is the 2nd best on PS4 but I'm sure there will be plenty of lower scores to come.
I feel for people having swing problems but I have to say it's pleasing to see these harder courses. Swing well, folks!

I would agree - something needs adjusting since last Xbox update.

Yes --- totally frustrating can't hit the cone in drives. Been playing to long to know this isn't me. Tried various controllers. Some thing with the game.. Since Xbox update. Literally can't hit a straight iron shot. HB need to take a relic at the settings.

I've only had the game one week, so don't know how it played previously, but I do find that I'm pushing maybe 75% of shots, dunno if that's because I'm conscious of trying to ensure I hit 100% power. This is also on XB1. Putting on round 2 I would've been about -8 or -9 if the ball hadn't stopped right on the lip half a dozen times.

Never played on atropical themed course before, but this one acts a bit strangely, the greens are hard to hold, most shots just bounce right off. yet when you putt there particularly slow, a bit strange to say the least.

I played on XB1 and at moment I don' t found problems with the controller or the last update.
First round finished with -6 missing a lot of fairways, mostly on par 5.

You guys are crazy. I've had issues getting 100% on any swing. Not one through 4 rounds.
Makes no sense.

So undes up with -3 r1 but felt like -8 -9 grrr hope I have a crazy good round 2 Im the same coach, getting better playing in the wind but keep burning edges on the greens grrrr i agree with hogan lol, although i havent finished my 1st round yet i was at the green at 17 when then gales finally came and nearly pushed my ball off the green, so will resume play tomorrow im currently -5 thru 16 so 2 more birdies will be welcomed will probably end up with 2 bogies lol.

I do get a lot of 94 to 90% but mainly happens when i get impatient im training my brain to hold back for an extra millisecond and it definately does help.
