Tim... Maybe you should keep your comments for you when they're not constructive! Oh... Actually... If you want if you're on PS4 we could play together and I'll teach you what to do to swing stupidly straight with a DS4 by just using your thumb to swing! No tricks! It'll involve a bit of practicing on your part, but you'll get how it's done. If you a new DS4 even better, you'll swing dead straight because the mechanism is a bit tighter than with an older one! Yeah I was stirring the pot. My bad!
My swing is just fine. It can be a bit erratic every now and again but compared to TGC2 where I had almost no chance, I love TGC 2019

I really think my ps4, or my internet connection, or maybe me...is possessed.
I had to play this one early and all at once because I’m going to have work commitments that will keep me from playing regularly this week... Started out with a typical shaky thumbed overthinking it round of -10. I was thinking. Ok not terrible I’ll take it. Second round I missed two putts inside 8ft but still managed -11. I figured cut made. So now I can relax. Shot -12 in the windier 3rd. Still was clean with no bogies for the tournament. -33 after 3.
Then round 4 happened. (This was between 6:30-7:00PM EST Monday night). From the 2nd hole on no matter what I did and how I varied the speed of backswing and downswing I was getting fast downswings 75% of the time with a few VF thrown in for good measure. I got so I was so worried about swinging on tempo my swing path went completely out the window. Several bogies and a few birdies meant a flippin’ -1 in round 4. -34 for the tournament. And a nosedive to near bottom of the leaderboard. And at the start of that round I was thinking another -12 should get me close to top 20. Yikes.
Just for kicks when I was done I went out and played a local match. No tempo issues. Then went into one of my societies and once again everything was fast. I have played enough of this game to know when it was me. I swear it wasn’t.
Ok enough. How many times have we all read a post like this about unexplained tempo shenanigans. I guess that’s the breaks. Shiiiitttteeeee!!!

Got to 50 thanks to some really superb putting, mostly in round 3. Would have had a chance (maybe) if I hadn't thrown it away on the front 9 in both rounds 1 and 2, but I won't lose sleep over it. GL to everyone left to play, and congrats to whatever ps4 guy is on top this week!

Started slow in R1 then caught fire but got jobbed by heavy rough in the fairway. Didn’t realize it until the down swing and it was too late.
Had a few putts hit and lip else I would’ve had a chance at it. Instead -52 so likely another top10.
I think setting these greens to anything other than 187 is a disservice. Not sure why we change green speeds that make the putting unnatural. All these Velcro greens where you putt sideways because the balls do not trickle down. We are supposed to be pros so give us 187??

-8 -7
-15 after 2!
Swing was a lot more consistent this week but still shanking 3-4 in every 10 shots tho. Won’t make the cut but at least I shot something this week. Missed heaps of putts in round 2 which probably cost me 3-4 shots.
Good luck to everyone

Did I just not notice that, or was it set up differently on PC?

Did I just not notice that, or was it set up differently on PC? I knew this was going to happen... I reckon there could be diff setups... 187 was R1 on PS4. 163 R2. Dunno after that, I gave up. Pretty sure I mentioned it above. Any other PC or Xbox folk like to confirm?

Rounds 2 was 164, then R3&4 were 163 I believe. On PS4

I practiced default and it was 164, then load up R1 default and find 187 even though the setup screen showed fast not very fast. I don’t know anymore, I was confused.

I practiced 187's all week, dozens of times , and my reward was underwater golf!!!
