Started with a good round, was actually disappointed to shoot -8 Round 2 was fine. Only -6 but I played a few poor shots and they cost me every time resulting in 3 bogies. Round 3 I was playing great, -7 thru 13 and then it happened..... the game broke. Tempo went crazy. All sorts of nonsense. Slow/V fast, fast/slow... ridiculous. I limped home with -4 Rage played R4 with the same tempo problems making bogey on 1,3 and 4. Finished -2. My question is, is anyone else having these issues? I have no explanation to why I was playing so well and consistently to not being able to buy a perfect/perfect within the same hour. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ My only question is...what was in your vape? 😂😂 If it’s only me having these problems, I’ll take it on the ch.... I’ll buy a new pad cos it’s obviously that! It’s only moving a stick back and forward, I can do that. I don’t mind the odd fast swing, nobody can get it perfect every time but a fast/very slow? Nah... It’s broken.

-7 -8
-15 after 36.
That should make the cut. My swing was a little iffy. Had quite a few holes where i had no real birdie chance - but wasn't in a lot of trouble either.
I played the Par 5s flawlessly (8 birdies) - that helped. And from time to time i hit a good iron shot and converted.
Left 3 putts out there i should have made. Unfortunate cause i could have set myself up for a rather good finish in the 1st tournament of the season.

-4 average 1st Round. Hit 6/7 slow tempo shots which is more than I have hit since the game has been out. Also only hit 1 fairway on the par 5's and 3 putted on 18. 2nd Round was much better -10

I can say that for me, generally when I get a fast or slow, it's my fault. I have gotten very fast that seem to pop up out of the blue, but never with the frequency you're describing. It might be your pad, all joking aside. One other thing, I use a pretty light touch (left thumb on left stick), and when it occasionally slips, I get slow or very slow. Annoying, but again, my fault.

I know when I’ve swung poorly but today was different. At one point I was intentionally slamming it forward to prevent the slow. Then when I hit very slow when trying to hit fast, I knew it was mocking me. No problems through Q school, no problems through R1 and 2 this week so I’m suspicious that all of a sudden I’m doing something different? Broken mate. I’ll come play some online later if I can.... if you get me on your team, I apologise in advance 🤷🏻♂️

-9, -3 in first 2 rounds. Battled swing issues in 2nd round. Not sure if -12 makes the cut but felt great to finally start the season.

Well guys, see you all next week. Couldn't buy a swing for the whole two first rounds. Probably will finish last, but hey, it's the first tourney, I'm sure I can do it even worst

-4, -4. Emcee M.C is in the hizzouse.
The two rounds couldn’t have been more different. Missed 2 short putts in round 2 by hitting them too hard - never done that before but 100% on me. Didn’t have any tempo issues in round 2 at all. Hit a couple fast and a couple slow, but again, 100% on me. Round 1 was a nightmare - Very fasts out of nowhere. Missed the chance to go low in round 1, wasn’t used to perfect perfects in round 2 and took a bit to dial it in. Made a bogey on 18 trying to hit a hero fade against the wind but it pulled up way short, I hit a bad recovery and 2 putted from the fringe. Might have cost me a spot for the weekend, on top of the 2 silly short ones - I can only blame myself.
Good luck cut makers, see y’all next week for another game of XBox tempo lotto 👍
Lovely course. Enjoyed it every time I’ve played it.

I have no explanation to why I was playing so well and consistently to not being able to buy a perfect/perfect within the same hour. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ I feel like my 4 rounds went closely in line with the post I have quoted. Played round 2 early in the afternoon to get to -18 at the cut line. Had some dinner, and thought I am playing well and I should finish my rounds.
Round 3 started out with a slow off the first tee, and progressively got worse from there. I can count the amount of perfect/very slow and perfect/slow swings that I made while making the transition so fast and hard to avoid the slow. Tried 8 to 10 practice swings at times to dial in the tempo, and the real swing comes off perfect/slow. Had pitches that sliced 40 yards.
Should have put the controller down and came back, but I thought the issues were my own creation and I could work them out. Round 4 just as bad. Played 2 other societies, just as bad. Finished the tourney at -13. All in all, a humbling and disappointing finish to what was a quality start to the season 5.
Lesson learned: I can only play this game at certain times. Good luck to everyone else. I will be trying my "only play at certain times theory next week."

Played 3rd round and shot -10. Happy with that score and if I make the cut it should move me up the scoreboard. 1st round scores aren't as high as I thought they would be so not sure what to expect the cut to be. I thought the 2nd round was a little tougher than the 1st. Sitting at -22 thru 3
