I really need to re-assess what I consider to be a good score

R2 holes 9 thru 18 I had a fast tempo downswing every shot. It’s like the game flipped a switch and I couldn’t fix it. Swung slower, paused at top longer, faster backswing...none of these prevented the fast downswing. Shot +1 in that stretch and lost all chance of making the cut. If it makes you feel any better, go watch HB Keith's stream from yesterday toward the end. He was playing The Patriot, which is the only reason I watched it back, but it was brutal - dude was hitting fast or very fast on almost every single shot. He has feedback turned off so you can't see it, but if you watch the ball flight, it's pretty obvious. So hey, the tempo bug even bites HB staff, I guess lol

Much better round 2 with a bogey free -8 to bring my 2 round total to -13 and tied for the lead with the real leaders first round lol

-9 to open, with an out of nowhere fast on 18 approach (bogey) and a 3 putt from inside 10ft. That’s me out of contention. Wamp waaaaamp.
Edit: Just checked my scorecard...28 putts, hole sh%$! That's just not going to get the job done...yikes!

A quirky bird this TGC2019.
Must’ve been first Masters appearance jitters, but couldn’t agree with tempo in round 1. And nothing fell.
Played loose and free in round 2 and thats the result. Probably won’t make it, but proud that I didn’t curl up in the fetal position.
Best of luck to everyone. #agamewithwhichimnotfamiliar

The Masters is always fun. The only birdie fest tournament I enjoy.
While this isn't my favorite version of Augusta (the sand not being white mainly)...it is still a terrific rendition.
I battled back in round 3 and 4 and should get a top 25 with a -39. Assuming -17 makes the cut. Never know.
Dream start at -3 thru 3 in round 1 and then I missed 3 putts 5 feet and under from 4 thru 11 and lost my confidence putting the rest of the 4 rounds sadly.
Think I made 4 putts over 14 feet all 4 rounds combined. But finally hit it well. A plethora of tap ins with mid to long irons which was nice. Only had a few putts outside of 20 feet on my GIR so to putt so poorly was disappointing.
Nice to know I hit it good enough to win and finally have a tournament with minimal tempo issues at least.
Good luck to everyone still to play!

To be honest I wasn't expecting much going in to this, I love the course but have never played well on it, with a 25% cuts made total, Fluking another was my goal. With 4 bogey's throughout, they themselves have cost me a shot -12 thru 2, not enough once more, oh well start the goal to qualify for next year. Well played all who finished and good luck to those yet to start/finish

It would have been awesome for my first win to come at The Masters. And to think...only a few shots or so over the course of four rounds would have made the difference. It's frustrating to know you have to play flawless to win but that's what makes it a fun challenge. Oh, here's video of my last round because somebody earlier in here requested to watch.

Yes that is what it's like. I got so fed up with the XBox random tempo nonsense that I bought a PS4.

Yes that is what it's like. .... *if your method/setup/hardware produces the short swing. It’s not like that for everybody. 😏
