I enjoyed Zilker Park! I shot even par, but was -4 after 10 hole. I feel like I am getting better but maybe that's in my own mind! I do have a question, I was in a deep bunker and could only see the upper half of my body, when I pressed the right trigger I couldn't see my lie? How can I see my lie in that situation? Thanks! For me, I push down the right stick once or twice to get a different view of any shot. It especially comes in handy for putts. Also: after pulling up your Profile Menu you can adjust several settings to help your game experience and by looking over your Help Glossary you can get answers to many questions. When I first started playing this, I was starting to think that you could not play head to head with others - I didn't just want to see my opponent's markers, I wanted to see the player, whether playing live or a ghost. Once I explored a little, I found out that simply by turning "Turn Order" on - that fixed the problem. When the new game comes out this month, I will be spending a good portion of my time in the beginning just learning how to navigate and learning the ins and outs. But we are all friends here and the answers we get from our friends are always the best so never be afraid to ask. Hope this helps.

I don’t think I payed it the respect it deserved, I got on the first tee and thought I can hit this anywhere and not get in any bother and I think that filtered down to the iron shots. I also found one of the only bit of heavy rough on the course ended up with a 55 to 75% lie 😔 Lesson learned It was a trickier course than it looked, I only got away from you over the last couple of holes. Well played sir 👍

I just couldn’t get anything going on Zilker Park I think it was because it was so wide open if the tee you didn’t have to concentrate on hitting the ball straight. I should have played a practice round I should have played a different course! I scored worse than you. You also didn't mention the gale force winds. I struggled to hit the greens and the putts kept shaving the hole. All of the above! I didn't look at the score board till I was done, and thought for sure you would edge me out. I got lucky matching up with you this round on that course.

Should have closed that one out I was -4 under after 10 then had two bogies and a double in the last 8 holes, major choke.

Kraken has never been my favorite course not for any other reason than I can’t make crap on the greens. Every birdie was followed by a bogie. Got trounced in this one and stuck at even par.

Well, The Kraken was nice to me. I think it was anyway. I shot a -5 and was putting pretty well. Missed a few birdies but very happy with my round! :-)

Not looking forward to playing the rest of the season if I’m playing like this I’ve just played three practice rounds on the next course two with Player clubs and in desperation I tried the Tour Clubs. In three rounds I think +5 over was the best I’ve done couldn’t keep the swing in the cone for 90% of my shots. Looks like my next opponent @wheezingnoonan only needs to turn up unless I can turn it round but I’m not hopeful. Edit: can’t see me adding anymore points to the Rest of the World cause.

Well what a round after 4 disastrous practice rounds. First 9 I thought here we go again 3 over after 9 then I came back in a pleasing 3 under to finish level par. Still a few wayward drives and once you get in the thick stuff your not going to move it to far up the fairway, quite pleased with two bogies and a double on the front nine and none on the back. @wheezingnoonan better get your inhaler taken before you go out 😜 That’s your score to shoot at good luck bud.
