So I shot my best single round ever last night while warming up for my tournament play. 14 under par. I then proceed to scramble for a 8 under on both of my next tournament rounds. Sigh...

OOh I'm so disappointed/pissed with my last two rounds. Started off round 3 feeling good. My distances were good all day. Come to the par 5 on front 9.. play my second shot and the graphics driver freezes just as the ball is about to strike the green 10 feet before the putt, it was going to be a reasonable putt for eagle. Come back and the shot plays as in progress only this time i'm about 5 yards to the right and end up in the drink.. WTF? I go from putting for an eagle to having to play my fourth shot from the rough.. amazing. If that isn't enough it happens again and i bogey the hole. I am pissed because I have a computer that is probably in the top 5% of the computers out there. I have put in a LOT of time, money and effort and this shouldn't be happening. In the end I manage to scramble a -9 for the round.
At this point I'm like @!$# it and play my fourth round. Computer didn't freeze but that old spectre of hitting from a flat lie/tee and having the ball leap 3-5 degrees off mark killed me on a couple approach shots. On #10 put one in the drink with a 0mph. I was on a slight lie that would pull to the left and i aimed 2 times the number of clicks i normally would.. right in the water. For the hell of it, since it put me in the same spot again, i played the exact same shot, same number of clicks to the right, this time i'm in the right bunker. So anyone who tells me this doesn't really affect the game, well from 207 yards out with 0mph wind the same shot played exactly the same way, there was a 45-50 foot difference in the 2 shots right vs left. From what I understand this is mainly a PC/keyboard/mouse problem and if it is (HB won't comment on it in their own forums) I can't see how any person using a keyboard/mouse can hope to compete.
For the record after this, it only happened 2 times more, both on drives and I finished 7 under for the remainder of holes, this includes a missed birdie putt that hung. As I said my distances and putting was on this game, but little quirks like this killed me. Ended up with -11 last round for a -44 overall. Don't get me wrong, I love this game, I really do. I play several rounds daily and love the community, but I'm also competitive. I love practicing new things like on #2 hitting the ball to the left of the hole and a bit long to have it roll behind the hole and back down right .. almost holing it. I love doing those things and it feels amazing when you figure out a shot and can hit it perfect. The problem is the game doesn't reward good play or a straight shot. Standing on a par 3 with 1mph tailwind...not touching the right/left and making a perfect swing only to end up 18feet to the left cause that is how the game pushes it is demoralizing, especially when it is completely random. It could have easily ended up 20 feet to the right like on that par 5. The worst part of it is I still don't know if it is an intentional quirk in the game that is supposed to happen to all or if it is only with certain people. Obviously from the lack of posts about it, I'm thinking it doesn't happen to all of us.
Good luck all, sorry for the rant, but it irks me to no end to be playing a great game only to have it dismantled due to things I'm not doing.

anyone can sneak in a screen shot of ps4 and xbox leaderboard? Current leaderboard on XB1 sits at -49, -48, 3 tied at -45. Sorry, no pic but that's a little taste I just finished up my final round, ended at -37. Should have done better. The game went a little wonky on me during my 4th round where I lost connection mid round on the hole with the water on the left, right before I lost connection the last shot it read my swing stick as a massive hook left straight into the water even though I know damn well I definitely didn't swing to the left lol. Re-connected and sure enough it's hitting the same shot over again into the water for my 3rd shot. Managed to chip in for double bogey after that and then finished the round at -9, easily should have been -11/12 though. Oh well.

This happened to me on #6. Hit the shot, was heading to land on the front of the green and Graphics Driver froze. I come back thinking i'm putting for eagle but this time the shot is long and right and i'm in the water. Course HB says there is no issue. It sux cause I have about a 5k machine and it still dumps me.

Wow after 3 rounds i'm in 21st all by myself. That is strange that no one else is tied with me.
Hopefully my slightly better fourth round will help me crack the top 20.

Big Gratz to tastegw, well done mate good shooting you deserved it it aint over till the fat lady (or boy) sings, still 2 players left with a chance at the lead, Chris Barson (ps4, -25 through 2 rounds, 1 off my pace after two), and John Rubenkoenig (drgslayer+numbers, -23 after two rounds, 3 off my pace after two) those two have yet to submit their 3rd and 4th rounds, and the wait is killing me I wish them well, but only just so well. lol.
