THAT was a grind!!! Blown away the first few holes then hit a few close on the par 5's and down breeze holes. Good luck all.

-4 first round (eagle,6 birdies,4 bogeys)
Quite the adventurous round at Spyglass. A hot start with a chip in birdie and a monster eagle putt, but then alot of clutch par and bogey saves with the putter from long range. Started to slide late but got a couple birdies back on 17 & 18 to save a great round for those conditions.
Could of easily been +5 but thankfully 37.5% on the long putts really saved me this time around.

I just tried to play a round for this weeks USE event and it wasn't available on the XB1. I was going to play a practice round instead but there are several Spyglass courses so wasn't sure which one to play.
I just saw the schedule on the 1st page and it looks like it is Spyglass Hill (Tour)

Yes, that's the course, practice sounds a good idea, round one sounds rough!

Back from vacation, and back to the TGC. I'd say that I am a little rusty still, but perhaps it was just the first round setup. What makes this style of play so difficult and rewarding to me is that I know I need to keep the ball below the hole, but taking chances with short swings or tempo doesn't pay off very often. Oh man, but when it does you know you hit a perfect shot that would be tough to duplicate. It was a tough week on the greens for me, but I got out ahead of most guys to show some lines not to take for the remainder of the event. darvaan that was one heck of a first round!

Xbox tournament up and running guys! Apologies from the admin team, unforseen circumstances.
If you need the extra day that you've lost, we'll trust you to post screenshots of whatever rounds you need to get finished. Make sure you ask for the correct settings for those rounds.
Hopefully you can all just get them done tho 👍

Hole 4 is definitely an adventure. First round got the now infamous 88 feet/uphill 4 feet putt. Luckily got par. Second round I foolishly putted long on a downhill putt and went down into the abyss again. This time I putted short and it rolled back to me...awesome lol. Double bogey that time. There’s one par 5 on the back 9 that I’ve blown both times with my tee shot missing the fairway by a mile. I love how even though I played both rounds back to back, I do the same exact mistake both times lol. I think I am -1/-1 so far.

While I can't be as awesome as Art Vandelay , I can take solace in the fact that I birdied one hole, and only doubled one, and that was due to hitting water, on what appears to be a very hard course, in very hard conditions.

JosiaDB y'all only 4 back of me. C'mon, let's rumble! Round 2 (1 iggle, 5 birdies, 5 bogeys, 1 double) a mirror image even par round. Improvement? Si. Good play? Not really, the iggle was lucky and I finished with 3 straight bogeys. Onward.
