I seem to have found a bit of a groove with my tempo at the moment and I'm quite happy with the putter, so (for the first time) I was a little pissed off with my showing in this touney. I had sloppy bogies on the first hole in both rounds, another one on 18 in the first round after playing quite nicely, and then went OOB on the one with the beach on the left (14 or 15?) in the second round when I had a good head of steam going. Silly mistakes, which were down to me. Loved the course, not understanding the complaints at all? The greens were brilliant, get it in the right spot and you had a fairly flat putt, get it in the wrong spot and you had to get creative! I finished -5.

Week 2:
Two round total of -6 (pair of -3's).
Guarded optimism! None of my shots off the tee or my irons are "typical". I'm literally angling my controller to 2:00 and 7:00 in order to get anything remotely close to perfect (And that "perfect" is 10% of my shots). Combine that with some controlled fades and draws and I'm starting to improve FIR and GIR. Still playing for the fast as that is all I seem to get on a consistent basis. PPH is still way too high but distance control is getting better. Gotta stop leaving myself with 8-10ft par putts. I'm losing strokes there.

I totally agree John regarding tempo. The margins are so precise for that perfect downswing that it only takes you to be slightly out of sync with it and you can be all over the place. It does add to the fun of the game imo. I definitely won't be touching my calibration again though because I know I've got it really good on the whole. It does serve me right though using tour clubs through my entire bag! Maybe try changing your shoes? My “lucky” hat has now been sacrificed to the golfing gods. Come to think of it I have been playing badly since I changed my trousers.

If I remember correctly you tied someone for first in week one and are in the lead for week 2 . In the last flight same one I'm in.

Chief Banks Page one on the OP - the link towards the bottom of the first post above where the pictures start. There's a link also for S&M - so go below that ... It doesn't show who shot what - just the ranks in the groups..

Aside from the elite PGA players that have been there for all the TGC games - there isn't as much difference from what I've seen with PS and XB when it comes to swing - they're struggling just like us - FINALLY !! Plus - there is generally just more people playing PS compared to XB - so there will always be a larger skew towards PS simply based on the numbers.. Keep it going Benny! Between you and Brandon - you guys are the faces of XB heroes !! LOL It does seem that way Jeff. Hopefully it remains that way too because it'll definitely make for some great competition! 🤣😂 I don't know about that. I do know we've both still got a long way to go before getting that tour card. I'm really hoping quite a few of us have a solid tournament at Evangelist and can get that Platinum Tour card. There's some really solid scoring from Xbox players at Whiskey Dunes 👏👏🏌️♂️🏌️♂️👍👍 Here's something - I looked at the BOTTOM 5 guys on the Q leaderboard - 4 PS and 1 XB - LOL

Just posted this in the Qualifying Event thread but thought I would share with you lot as well... unfortunately won't be able to finish the practice tourney I set up in my new society:
"Heads up for everyone going into Evangelist. Pretty big bug on the course that will literally ruin your q-school if you end up here...
Hole 16 Par 5 over water. Approach shot went into the water and gave me the option to drop near the bridge that connects the gap. I personally will always drop my ball on the cartpath or similar if given the option on a drop, always a good lie%. I drop there and it drops the ball UNDER the bridge displaying a sandy lie. Played my next shot and and it went nowhere, gave me a penalty and now I have nowhere to drop and am completely stuck. Just stuck in the drop screen unable to drop a ball or go back anywhere just stuck. Won't be able to finish the round.
Simple solution is obviously do not drop your ball ON the bridge but if you somehow end up with the same fate.... tough... Q-school over.
Not sure if this is something that can be fixed before the tourney starts on Sat/Sun but thought I would try let everyone know.
If there is somewhere better to post this pls let me know."
