Closing in on 24 hours since official start of the tournament and 72 hours since tournament opened and only 39 first round scores submitted. Kinda telling I think. What's telling? (people waiting for wind to die down or bunch of no shows?) The former.

completely misfired during the tourney. Shot a decent 64 to start with but followed with a disastrous 70 then -10 and again followed by another poor round of 69.
i dont't think -10 will make the cut so good luck everyone else!

I'm already looking to next week already to try and get this week out of my mind. I did have most of my wind around the 12-16mph mark which didn't help but for me it's very difficult to wait for favourable winds (on a course like North atlantic)

I haven't played not due to the wind, tho I haven't seen anything lower than 8mph for about a hole so far...I'm still trying to get a grasp on the new putting. Can't stand taking four putts in 10 feet. Also anything over like 20 feet I'm struggling to get to the hole correctly it is either way short or 20 feet past.

I was actually shooting one of my best practice rounds ever on this course. I was -8 under after 9, hit the turn and eagled the first par 5 with a chip in. One birdie more to hit number 16 at -11 when my drive found its way behind a rock. It was right under the damn thing. I tried to play smart and pitch just out to the fair way sideways and the ball barely moved. Took a full swing at it with a PW to try and move it and it didn't move. Aimed towards the desert and after another no move shot finally got it out, but I was so far into the desert I could hardly see the fairway. Took two more shots to get into the fair way and i'm still 250 yards out LOL. Four more shots to get down and i'm looking at an 11 on the hole. I sure wish you could take a drop in this game. Decided not to finish the round after that.

Well i go from making the toc to missing the cut in the Sony open. So much for getting a jump on the rest of the pga guys in the points. Disappointed

Just played my second round and it looks like i'm done. AFter a respectable 63 (-9) I'm not sure what happened and I shot a 69 (-3). The winds were only 4-8mph the entire round but I can't help but think something is just not right. Too many times I would have a slight tail wind and aim to land the ball 5-7 yards short only to have the ball land beyond the pin. The only explanation I have is somehow in the last patch where they "fixed" putting, they made tailwind's stronger.
Using Doyle's formula it was 70-80% of the speed you subtract from the shot. Even subtracting 1 for 1, 5 mph = 5 yards I was still flying over the pin by 5 + yards on several of my shots. In all of my practice rounds here I haven't missed so many greens on the fringe ever. It finally got to a point where i took out a calculator to ensure my calculations of elevation changes, wind speed, ect were all perfect, like i've done so many rounds before me and often times even with a loft, i'd still be far over the pin.
FInally I decided to DOUBLE my calculations on the second to last par 3. I was right beside the cup. Doubled it again on 17 and just barely hit the fringe which put me over the green but it was a lot closer to where I wanted to be landing the ball. I cannot even describe the frustration I'm feeling because i was playing so well and something changed.
Good luck all.
