Fun police aren’t as fun as they sound...
Played it on XBox, not interested in investing time on PC to improve, whatever will be, will be.
-7, bogied the road hole. When my tempo is perfect on approaches I leave a tap in, on the other holes it’s anywhere from 10 to 25 metres away. Lots of drives with the 2w, leaving pitches is a guaranteed way of missing the green for me. Tough game at the moment.
On to the weekly stupid wind round... Would rather it saved for round 3 or 4 so the guys like me who don’t make cuts don’t have to endure it.
Missed cut number 4 this week, or is it 5???
Yay 🙁

Missed cut number 5 it is, although it’ll be a DNF - out of 6 weeks. Left one in a bunker that was horsesh!t, then hacked it out with a wedge to OOB, walked off with an 8. Fvck this sh!t. Game is no fun at all on XBox. Have wasted the time I’ve played it because no amount of practice will help unless it’s on a PS4. I don’t have a single swing goes outside the lines, ever - it’s always tempo. It’s an absolute lottery.
Anyway. That’ll do me for sure. Enjoy folks, was a fun ride 👍

Had a hard time this week. Could not get it close to the pin at all. Loads of terrible pitches. Thanks to some very good putting in the first and second round i managed to do a -7,-6 for -13 at the cut. Should hopefully be enough. Finished of with -9 and -8 to get to -30.
Didn't get any rythm this week and felt like I had do fight on every hole. I think I only had one or two tap ins.. Also I ended with a bogie on the 72nd hole which always is a bummer.

-8 & -8 for my opening 2. First round was a bit poo, swing not great, putting even worse. 2nd round kept the ol' gun powder dry in the tough opening 6 holes with no bogeys & then took advantage as conditions got easier. Gonna call it, I think -16 makes the cut with 2 or 3 to spare.... lots of bogeys available on that round 2 outward 9 Shame Ray - but completely understandable. Competitive play is flat out broken on the box

ARRRRGH. So disappointed. A perfect first nine. -9 with 10 putts...then I lost my swing and putts were just barely missing. Only managed -2 over the next 9 and finished -11...so discouraged after that. Decided to hang up golf for the night.
I might actually be good at this game if they ever fix this mouse issues, until then just gotta fight my way through the inconsistencies.

Thanks fadgewacker for talking me into using that putting marker. I missed putts even closer if that's even possible. Now I've got to somehow fire a 48 in the last round to hit my winning prediction number. No problem... Just don't take advice from anybody or try anything different in future, and continue to be surprised if your putting is shite that way, the only thing you can blame is what's between the sofa and the controller. Or HB, people like to blame HB. Or blame me. I've got broad shoulders.

Enjoy folks, was a fun ride 👍 Heard from someone that they cleaned up the XB swing...that not true? If not, hopefully the upcoming patch helps ya I don't think so, last night I had a run of slow downswings where each time I progressively pushed my stick harder and harder....(That's what she said...lol)....But I ended up getting a very slow? ? What!!! I had to stop and do some practice swings to get rid of the slow downswing. No very fasts, but it's a guessing game if I will get perfect, fast or slow every downswing. No rhyme or reason. It makes it impossible on approach shots to get close consistently. I was lucky that course had huge fairways.

I've tried all sorts of techniques to somehow get consistent tempo on the XBox. I have a new swing every week it seems. My latest is with my knees up on the couch pressing and locking the controller into my stomach.

And I angle the controller down slightly which makes me use the tips of my finger and thumb, allowing me to swing down quicker but not harder to avoid the slows.

Started my practice second round in the hurricane winds and after having a nice front nine, decided to forego my normal routine and just decided to play the round. Started with a bogey and was wondering if I had made the right choice but managed 6 birdies on the front nine to make the turn at five under. The back nine was brutal, still, I gave myself some opportunities, just missed two really good putts and came in at three under for a -8. -19 total 1/2 through and actually in the top 10 for the first time ever. Only three off tempo shots so things held together fairly well. Lets see if I can keep it up for the next two rounds.

-5 on the front 9 in round 2 has to be 4 or 5 shots ahead of the average

-5 on the front 9 in round 2 has to be 4 or 5 shots ahead of the average Just computed.. Rd 2 Front 9 is currently averaging -0.9999 (-1), so yeah, 4 strokes better than avg.

Which sucks that I was only -3 on the back nine but that is the way the first round went. -9 for front nine, -2 back nine. :/ For whatever reason I have always felt more comfy on the front nine of this course.
So frustrated by this card:
