Why do we not play the real course of that week when it's available in the game? In this case Kapalua?
Why do we simulate the Tour using the real names of the events ... and then we don't choose the course the event is played on?
Doesn't make sense to me.
P.S.: I am on the PGA Tour. This week we play an alternate event. So the fictional course choice would make sense for us. World Tour should play the Kapalua course of the TGC2 imo.

You guys are really putting pressure on our schedulers if you think that they will know that KPC beta is the real life course of this event. If someone wants to do the legwork and make a thread with the PGA/Euro/Web schedules and matching real life courses - please, help us out.
Also, just because there is an RCR of a real life event doesn't mean that it will be a good time.
And finally, personal attacks on our volunteer staff is not gong to be tolerated. If you are going to force me to choose between losing a volunteer scheduler or removing a player from the tour - it's an easy decision for me. Constructive criticism is always welcomed. Taking personal shots is not. I value our volunteers. Thx

Knocked out the first 2 rounds and must admit I didn’t experience anything horrific in regards to lag. Just the same as most weeks for me, which is still enough to drive you nuts.
My only negative about the course is its a little boring for my liking. Only 2 par 5’s, long par 3’s, and the shortest par 4 of about 370 yards makes it void of any risk/reward holes, or any real decision making.
On the positive, playing 7 million dollar events knowing the worst I can finish is 10th is bloody terrific in my opinion 😂

Was under no illusions that I was way out of my depth playing this one. Only reason I made it was because I learned the new game a little quicker than some others, but much has changed since.
Finished -37 which I was pleased with. Best I’ve hit the ball in a long time, but sadly not good enough to compete with this elite lot of players. Pretty cool to have made it none the less.
Good luck to the other 10 boys 👍

If someone wants to do the legwork and make a thread with the PGA/Euro/Web schedules and matching real life courses - please, help us out. I'd be glad to help if required. The HBS forums has a wealth of information and many threads regarding matching the PGA schedule with the RCR. I do not think I would be providing anyone with anything new. The schedulers are free to contact me, I would be glad to point them in the direction of the HBS forums where this information is readily available. However I suspect the issue is more worthiness rather than unavailable or unknown, but I am often wrong, so if they wish, they can contact me, glad to help where needed. |

Good luck to the other 10 boys 👍 Know the feeling. Just not our course this week. Being +3 after 2 was awesome. Reboot. Putter great in R1 then complete sh%$ the rest of the way. The course reminded me of an old muni that closed down in my area. Firm as @!$# because they didn’t have the budget to water. Greens slow as sh%$ because they didn’t have the budget to mow. My R4 scorecard is a treasure. 12 pars and shot -10. Couldn’t putt for sh%$. The wait till Saturday morning will be exciting to see it! |

60,60,57,56 for a -47 total I really felt as though I played a little better than that, just couldn't take advantage of some good approach play and didn't get the rub of the green this week. Not sure what's leading on PC? But to be one behind the leader on PS4 stings a bit, considering a) I missed from 8 feet on the 70th hole, Doh! and b)Rounds one and two should have been a few lower than I shot. Only myself to blame this week though, no major issues with bad server lag or wild tempo/swing variations (there was some lag at times, but it wasn't consistently terrible) I just didn't make the ones that I needed to. Sure, I got a few inopportune fast and slow downswings, but they didn't feel too artificial as they have done aplenty lately. I thought that the course was very good, a really good test with a few mean pins!  Good luck all still to play or finish, nice shooting Sloaner  |

Good luck all still to play or finish, nice shooting Sloaner I hit a quad bogey on hole 17 of rd 4 hit fast splash and promptly followed it up with a vf splash even though i swung slower :/ will most likely cost me this one but it is what it is. Played well up to that point minus a bogey on hole 2 rd 4 as well. +5 on 2 holes and ended -11 that round i think. -48 to finish. |

That’s sort of like me being -5 in 2 straight holes and only being -10. Still can’t believe it. Sounds like more than me find these greens befuddling. |

I understand the selection process, but I feel a little disappointed not to get an invite into this tourney, based on my S3 play (2 wins, TGC 1), I know I haven't won an event playing TGC 2, but I'm there or thereabouts almost every week . It's jmo, but how is this tourney a ToC? which is based on what 5 months play? It seems a tad devalued imo and appears to be a an Elite World Tour event.
