I believe that there are some amazing players that play this game. Some of them may have a more steady hand, stay composed under pressure better, or just have the rhythm they need from experience. I've played all the TGC games as well and all 3 of them have played differently. So, I agree with the notion that it's very hard to compare 1 game to the next (ie. if you were good at one you'll be good at this one). Also, as far as I've seen, the moderators and admins have punished folks that haven't played fairly. Basically all the folks in this forum are very solid players and we have a lot of strong competition to play against. I'm all for making this the best experience for everyone as possible, but quite honestly, where else are you going to find a golf game that's even close to as good as this has been put together? We have these forums to talk about it, we have online leaderboards to check and stats that we have for our seasons. We even get virtual trophies when we win! We have a playoff system that mirrors the PGA tour. As Doyley mentioned, I think the biggest thing is tempo issues between platforms, but even that I think is manageable as it is for now. Maybe HB will make some updates next year. Also, outside of the way Hippy addressed the situation, I think everyone discussing and expressing their opinions of ways to improve is good for the game.
Keep playing on gents, we have a really awesome thing here!

What does the "retired" stands for after Hippy's name? Or it's part of his new PSN id?

-12 -9
-21 at the cut which will make it for once.
Started the tournament with my second ever alby! -3 after 1 not a bad start. Struck the ball really well for once in the winds and managed to eagle 18 to finish -12. Round 2 started well being -7 after the front 9 but could only manage -2 around the back which included a bad bogey on 18.
Absolutely love this course, one of my favourites in the game. Got to think about every shot. Thanks to Justin and good luck everyone else.

I dont expect to win every week ben, far from it. Its an uphill battle playing against the short swing already. If it wss just a case of you being able to swing that way fair enough but when you can rig your pad by taping up the front of the swing stick to guarantee the short swing it takes out all integrity to ppl who short swing it and opens it up to accusations. It goes laser straight even on a full swing making the tour a farce. You may aswell just say straight shooting is aloud. The api doesnt pick it up either. Its like a built in scipt.mapping is when ppl use 2nd accounts on different systems to judge shots top hole per wind etc no exactly how many boxes or clicks to move it and how to loft shots to hit best approaches. Leaving yourself on the best side of the hole.

Another member of the 36 hole and out club over here I had a practice round in R1 conditions and managed -10... no bother. Teed it up and managed -10 thru 2, so I'll see you all next week. Missed an insane amount of putts on the low lip... JUST missed. Had we played on 163's, I'd have been a contender! You had better believe it! I enjoyed the course, greens were tricky in spots, but nothing unfair... Was a little disappointed at the amount of flops I had to play from the bottom of hills on approaches, as I think that let track down slightly. I know I could choose to lay up to avoid that, but why? I find flops easier to stiff than pitches or full wedges. I could have just played better shots I suppose, but I was either JUST coming up short, or 30ft past. Just seemed a bit off to me. With fairways this wide and the obvious underhanded nature of the PGA tour (lol), I was going to go on record and state that nobody would get API'd this week as they'd be slapping it all over to try and fool the detection algorithms, but, we have a winner! God bless... Unrelated, but I understand some of Hippy's frustrations and how they have built up. Poorly delivered however. I'm sure he regrets the way it's gone. Regardless of how he felt, I personally think it's way wide of fair to be landing blame at the feet of the guys that run the site, not just the PGA Tour. Just my 2p. Most of us wish things could be a little different, but a lot of it is not able to be controlled.

A question I have not seen addressed.
What is Hippys status going forward? Even Habs is still permitted to play even though he’s not allowed on the forums. I’m not sure what his action plan would be to be permitted back but I don’t think Hippy did anything worse.
Then we have Jeff Day who was banned (but never explained) who is back on the tour this season.
Seems a little harsh to have permanently kicked him over some vulgar attacks. I agree it doesn’t belong here but I’m hopeful there’s an option to be reinstated if Hippy follows some plan by the admins.
Edit - grammar

Round 1 in at -13! 😏😏
Almost couldn't do anything wrong. Made some putts that usually don't go my way. Had a couple of eagles in the mix with some near misses for more. Highlight was using the huge bank on whatever Par 3 and it hitting the stick and staying out. Also, near miss for an alby on 18. 😊😊
Good luck all. 😏😏

The - club. Wat a shower of complete wank. The course is laid out well but yet again another designer that sets his greens to a number where nothing putts true at all. Finished my rounds and played it on fast 163s and course plays amazing. 152. Designers do this so there course plays fubar'd and doesnt get ripped a new arsehole. Alot of the holes are easily accesible if you hit right line off the tee but greens are a mess. I had so many putts die on me or on the straightish ones go the opposite way 2 clicks and miss high. -50 even tho the greens are a mess the shortswingers will stiff it on every hole or the mapping bastards who practice the events on other systems with different names then play there rounds at the last minute will get past 50. Have fun. Seriously close to calling it neck on this tour as its @!$#ed. @!$#ed up courses and @!$#ed up morals. Ppl playing with rigged sh%$ to short swing and mappers who they wont police Its worse than the hori and mapping days on tiger oh my god. Have fun on the - clubs greens. Sorry justin but you know you put them greens at 152 to play wan k I completely agree. This course is laid out well as hippy said but the greens are an absolute joke. And whoever chose this for the ZÜRICH CLASSIC wants to visit specsavers. Its more like a U.S Open. I was having putts of 60+ ft and 4+ft uphill, taking the putter all the way back and the ball never got halfway and rolled past me off the green. F***ing ridiculous.

It takes everything to hold back what i really want to say. If i did that i would be out of here in an instant.

Yep, you’ve got me covered Dan.
I do say what I like - life’s too short to bite your tongue in a forum full of strangers.
