So I played all 12 rounds in one night. Don't do that. I think I'm going to to split it up into 2 sessions. 6 rounds in a row is good pacing for me.
I ended up -30 with a +20 {PLUS 20!!} at Crawford Mines.
I shot the following over 2 rounds:
Mt Yeti -14 What a course.
Whispering River -13 Didn't love this one, especially the greens.
Copper Creek - 6 Hate, hate, hate. Tricked up and unfair.
son gual - 3 The firmness settings make this close to unplayable.
Harbor Island -14 I had some frame rate issues on some holes. Pretty good though.
Crawford Mines +20 86/76 I maybe should have played more than a few holes on this one before I played it for Q practice. I couldn't get 100% on a lot of sh but that is most likely due to the fact that I couldn't see straight. Looking at this course objectively, I think I can shoot around p with some more practice.
So do you guys think -30 would get me a tour card? I expect I can get closer to -50 in the actual tourney, but who knows?

I expect I can get closer to -50 in the actual tourney, but who knows?Think the q school will only play one round on each course not 2, also if you shot those kind of scores i think ul be heading straight to the pga tour and if u sort crawford out ul be pushing top 10 finishes in my opinion! great scoring! |

Thanks for letting me know. I guess I assumed (always dangerous) when I saw the practice sessions showing 2 rounds. I managed a 67 at Crawford last night, but that course can really bite you.
I'm really excited about finding this game and this tour. Thanks to all, this must be a ton of behind the scenes work.

Well, I'm only entering the Q-school tournament because if you don't try you can't possibly do anything. I could have the wildest stroke of luck and actually earn a Web.com tour card, but I'm not counting on it. I'm figuring I'll be in the Champion's tour. But that's okay, there's always the possibility of promotion if I do well enough there.

I'm really excited about finding this game and this tour. Thanks to all, this must be a ton of behind the scenes work. Just to confirm, Q-School is 6 total rounds, 1 per course. Cards will be handed out to the top finishers, with choice of tour between European Tour and PGA Tour. After that, cards will go out to Web.com Tour players, and everyone beyond that will go to Champions/Executive Tours. Practicing the Q-School courses will pay big dividends when the tournament rolls around. Keep going at them and you'll figure out the spots that will allow you to score well. Avoiding the blow up hole is much more important than gunning for birdies on many of these courses. |

Shot Accuracy and Putting are continuing to bug me, mainly putting because if i was even a bit better at putting i could
be shooting really low rounds.
I still have the left issue when it comes to swinging the club, no matter how i swing it, which means i am missing a lot of greens and combine this
with the high winds it makes scoring impossible for me.
Short putts are my nemesis, mainly the 5ft and in up hill putts where i cant judge the power or anything and i have missed a load of these.
The break on putts is also exaggerated i feel and i am missing a lot of putts wide of the hole (low side mainly).

Use the yellow marker. This is your aim point and will adjust power accordingly. You can still very easily hit it too hard, or not hard enough, but it smooths things out and makes it easier, for me anyway. I still can't putt worth crap but I'm missing fewer of the short putts.

i use the marker correctly but the big breaking putts are killing me.
The short putts like i said are my nemesis and i seem to be scared of hitting them hard enough.
i have hit a few 3-5ft putts too hard before and they go at least 5ft past putting pressure on me.
One other thing, do you have any tips for hitting the ball straight more often (hitting it left is killing my scores)

Not sure if it's just me but after 6 plays on ps4 at harbour island black on ps4 I'm getting terrible frame rate drops about a third of the time maybe more. Enough to put the shot in a high risk of not working out even if I'm playing well.

I hear people talking about using the yellow marker.. I don't, never had, so how do I use it and how can it help?

Yeah i made a comment about this the other day! i noticed the course has been edited and added more bunkers which has killed the frame rates! Bad move considering this is meant to be a q school course and how were supposed to practice it when it changes and plays poorly! |

starting to get frustrated with copper creek national again.
yet again i get off to a good start in the practice tour (-8 thru 2 events) then i start
copper creek +6 thru 5. i hate the course with a passion and combining my left problem with copper creek
is a nightmare.
i can't even see myself making the web.com tour if copper creek continues to be a pain. even if im slightly off line i seem to make it
into the water or a hazard and everything seems to be against me on copper creek.
it is very difficult to even finish the practice tour off because of the mood it puts me in.

just shot 71 on Son Gual and you would think that would be the most difficult but no, i managed to make birdies
and even a hole out eagle from around 180 yards.
