Looks top 2200 will get a card, as long as they are below +100 for the 8 rounds. It now goes all the way to CC-K if you look at the CC's it goes to CC-L. So is the last CC-L for anyone that is under the 100+ that's what I'm wondering.

-4, +6, -7, +2 in q school
Couldn’t control any tempo (with exception of round 3). Had zero strategy since I didn’t know if my approach was going to be fast or slow. Played all 4 rounds in about an hour.
Miracle to be under par on that.
A few people went crazy low. Should be some Xbox representation on the big boy tour.
Think I’m going to take a few days or more away from this game.

Those low scores are primarily players playing the fast, so they don’t have to worry about hitting a fast or slow. The pro tours will be heavily top loaded with those playing fasts. No hard feelings, as I understand why people choose to play that way but it is a bit frustrating as I play for perfects and know it will be very hard to complete with them. Lots of us feel ur pain. It’s a very difficult game.

Finished up the second leg of the mass Q - was sitting at +1 following the first leg. My goal was to minimize the damage as much as possible.
R1 in at +1 R2 - horrid front 9 at +7, brought it back a few on the back to finish +5 R3 - was pretty much par or bogey - was up to +4 coming into 16, then birdied the last 3 to finish at +1 R4 - in the drink right off the bat and carded a triple, couldn't get anything going with the High East wind. Was on and putting for birdie on most of the holes, but the first putt was average 45 ft or so.. Got most of them close, but couldn't close the gap - finished up at +6
So a relatively decent (LOL) +13 at the Evangelist to go with my +1 at Whiskey for a Q total of +14.
Not really worried as I will definitely get a card somewhere in CC with that total - plus, they've added flights G thru L (got the badges already posted for those flights if you happen to end up in one).
I am looking forward to the start of the season and the road to moving up the ranks.
Have to say at this point my swing is pretty consistent off the tee (I play for Perfects). Need some work still on my approach shots as they are mostly coming up Slow, which puts me in chipping up to save par mostly. Get a few that I hit my mark on and those are the birdie ops, but those are not common for me yet. As I mentioned above, I can usually get on the green in reg, but the distance to pin is typically 2 putt territory. Get lucky on a few here and there..
For those that are in the much higher over par bracket - don't despair - play the final 4 rounds and just try to be under +100 (total) and you'll get a card. Eventually you'll jump the hurdle and your +12 rounds will start to turn into Even rounds - and then even under and you should be able to start grabbing some promotion marks.
No matter where you end up on the tours - pick a few players that shoot about the same as you and make it a mini competition. This way you're not discouraged by the top scores in your flight and soon you'll be there too.
Anyway - good luck to all. Go #TeamXBox !!

It’s a very difficult game. I don’t know how to play for fasts honestly. If I could get fasts all the time I’d probably try. That first course wasn’t as punishing with bigger landing areas. I aimed down the middle and a fast or slow was usually playable. Not this course though. I can’t really get more than a few swings in a row with the same tempo.

It’ll be interesting if they do patch the fast swingers and their scores start plummeting. Like a lot of us, I play for perfects, such a shame we get penalised for trying to play the game as it should be.

I tried to hit one intentional fast in round 2 of Q-School. I was a bit in between clubs and thought I'd force it. I aimed right, gave it a bit of fade, over swung and jammed the stick forward.... and hit a slow!! 🙈
That one went well.

If i was forced to play perfects i dont think id last long with this game, far too hard and frustrating for me. I agree its a shitty way to score low but its the only way i can b consistant and enjoy it.

My game has taken a step back, mainly due to making big numbers on holes. In CUCC, I made two doubles and a triple this week. In the first round of Q school, I made 7 birdies and still shot +1. I will keep grinding.
