Taking cue from the "Bit quiet in here" thread, I'll create this thread for us Web.com Tour members to introduce ourselves to each other and get to know the competition, perhaps share your expectation for the season ahead. I am Jay from Australia, I shot a +21 to get myself in to the tour, which is what I was expecting after my opening rounds at Q-School. My hopes for the season is to be able to make the cuts and if I am lucky, earn a European tour card. I mostly play casually with a practice round or two, hopefully put in solid rounds of golf without hitting trouble too often. I will be playing on the PC and if you're around my timezone (GMT+8) feel free to add me on Steam.Ta,

Hi , I'm dave from the uk. I was steadily aiming for a web.com card, mainly due to shooting around 4 over par rounds until the last round, Crawford Mines. The wind was blowing hurricane strength, & I really should have walked in, & carried on later, but I tried to stick it out & payed the consequences with a 88 (-17 over) nearly doubling my score. I was sweating for a while until all the retiree's had been taken off the leader board. Hoping to play some good rounds & win a bit of money Play on PS4 - Jtrippuk BTW irl I'm a chef & a proud Leeds United fan . I'm also a golfer, although at 27 handicap I'm more of a hacker.

What up, Donnie here. I'm from Washington state and with the rain coming down I'm happy to be on the virtual web tour. Wasn't sure at first but thought I might make a run at the bottom of the PGA Tour then after two under par rounds I started going down the drain. Each consecutive round getting worse and finally folding like a lawn chair with a final round of +12........couldn't believe my controller survived! Anyway I think the web tour will be a great place as maybe I can contend for some top 10's. Good luck to everyone and see you on the road.

Hey guys,
I'm Jake (aka Redvines) and I'm from the central US. I played four pretty awful rounds in Q-school (ended +31), but I think I've put my game together since. My goal now is to average around par and contend to move up next year. I'll also be reporting on the Web.com Tour and at different places around the TGCT community. Outside of TGC, I enjoy golf (I'm a 5 handicap now) and cheer for Man City in the absence of a single decent franchise here in Minneapolis. It's going to be a great year and good luck to all!
I design courses on PC (marvingolf13) and play on PS4 (redvines13), friend me on either.

I'm David, My handicap is "I play goof" (pun intended). I am OK off the tee, but my putter is inconsistent in game as in real life.
When I'm on, low scores under par are possible, when not - well scores like Copper Hell happen! +13!!! I was +17 for all 6 rounds of Qualifying. but, I had several good rounds on unexpected courses.
I expect to be in the middle of the road throughout. I may sneak a peek at the top of the leader board once in a while (while I dream).

I'm Dan and live in Maryland. Love Golf, both in real life and in the virtual world. I started TGC on the first day of early access and played on PC (with mouse and keyboard) until the end of August. I lost my gaming laptop and started a new job at that point. After settling in to my new job, I finally decided to go next-gen and bought an XB1. I literally set the XB1 up, downloaded TGC, and discovered TGC Tours the day before Q-school started.
Due to injury, my caddy and I had to rebuild my swing from the ground up. This new swing (XB1) also forced me to change clubs (XB1 controller). I should have taken my caddy's advice and practiced more before tackling qualifying. Prior to my injury (still on laptop), while playing with my old clubs (KB/M) I consistently finished in the top 10-20 and, at times, was able to play just below the "big boys" (Jim, Doyley, etc).
The transition to the new clubs (XB1 controller) has been a bigger challenge than I expected. In the meantime, the tour has been populated with tons of new outstanding players. I fear the game may have passed me by. I'm vigorously practicing to prove that I'm not the next David Duval.

Hi all, I'm Woz from Australia. Shot a +12 in q school, with a couple of +8 rounds and finishing with -8 to gain back some lost ground. Hoping to have a good season, and at least be competitive in a few tournaments. Used to play a lot of real golf at a high level, but don't get to play much anymore. Haven't had this much fun with a golf game since the original PGA tour games on PC. Good luck to everyone for what should be an awesome year of digital flog, and let the trash talking begin!

Hey guys Hirst66 on XB1 I struggled abit on Q school but have the hang of things now! putting still catch's me out even with grid on!! but, looking forward to this tour. I usually play with old friends but welcome any new ones who fancy a round or two. I don't usually practice anything, just go for it is my motto! ( probably why my scores are bad!) however, concentrating, My handicap will quickly improve from a +7 See you all on the tour and happy golfing with the game!
P.S Thanks and respect to the guys involved with setting all this up for us gamers. The game wouldn't be half as fun without you!

Hello fellow Web (dot) Commers..... My names Simon.... Initials are S A M hence my forum name & you may have played a course creation or 2 I've designed as SMorris? Anywho, I'm from Little ol' England... Manchester to be precise, land of the mighty Blues - Manchester City Football Club. I finished Q-School at 28 over par and although I'm improving with practice, unless I can learn to putt properly, I won't be causing any upsets. You can find me on the PC Steam platform under my designers name.
See you on the fairways folks.. & good luck to everyone.
