An OKish round 3. Putting wasn't quite where it needed to be as there were several near misses that would have gone in back in round one. A couple minor mental mistakes, including once again on hole 11 where I refuse to learn my lesson. I need to keep reminding myself that it's still a short par 4 if I go 3 wood off the tee instead of risking driver and ending up with a between club bunker shot. In the end I repeated my -7 from round 2 and now sit with 5 rounds of 64 out of the 11 rounds I've played this season.

my first 2 rounds were MEH to say the least. but the last 2 rounds, i tapped into my inner robot and shot back to back 57s. wont be enough to win but another top 5 or top 10 is fine for me.
edit: its amazing how one can shoot 57s without practice or a database full of charts. imagine how i would shoot if i played this game like an AI turned to very hard difficulty lul

Gave myself a chance after an -18 round 3 that included a bogey and a par, didn’t have the berries to back it up in round 4 😕

Nothing much to say about my 4th round. It happened, I wasn't really satisfied with my performance, I'll be nowhere near a threat to the leaderboard.

A very frustrating tournament...on the one hand I generally played really well scoring -42 across all four rounds, on the other hand I lost 10 of those shots down to 5 OB's which i'm still not sure of the cause....maybe it was me, maybe a laggy course in places or both, either way not a course I want to play again....LOL!

Same for me. Had my best ever tournament score but all 4 rounds could have been considerably better. I was -15 thru 12 in R3 and choked on it. Started R4 when I had a chance at a W with a stupid 3 putt bogey.
Interesting course. I enjoyed it, but don’t normally like big elevation changes.
Looks like your win Mark, unless Golfing Stig plays late and messes it up.

Got an email that the controller I use on the PC (a Microsoft one the boy uses and abuses) is having some zero deviation swings. That, on top of not wanting to wait for access to the PC has made up my mind to go back to XB. The awesome graphics and playability on PC will have to wait till I get a PC of my own and hook up my XB controller. The comfort of a lounge chair and ability to play when I want have won the platform battle - for now.

i assume you are "Ray Morgan"? that "choke" in round 3 with a 53 hahahahahaha. and its weird that you had "no swing deviation" with a controller that is "used and abused". i would think it would be the opposite, as all of my used and abused controllers have so much joy stick play, id be surprised if i could swing straight. im sure the -50, a 53 round, and an email about fair play are all a coincidence wink wink hahahahaha.

Lol. I’m a lot of things, but none of them rhyme with Mirty Bleat.
From what I’ve gleaned around here, they develop a dead spot when they get old. The email said it’s not a FP issue right now, but rather than flirt with the spirit of the game I won’t use it for TGC again. The only reason I did was it was already plugged in and I have an issue re-syncing my controller to the XB whenever I’ve used it on the PC in the past.

Bit of a shame the people who jumped all over the event I suggested for the end of last year that excluded me have completely abandoned the beginner forum since it was played.
Slow hand claps for all of you 🥔

Slow hand claps for all of you 🥔 Ya i raised this same question in my rant about how the event was run, and how it eneded. You were actually brought up as a replacement and mayday said he wasn't comfortable with that. Then the next day he instantly jumped at the chance for someone else to join instead. Which sort of solidified my thoughts on this whole inside group culture in this community. It is sad that they all left, since some of them were one of the reasons I joined this tour last year. But hey, it seems like this tour is a perfect ego booster for a lot of people, come here, steam roll the field for a handful of wins, and move on. No doubt the same will happen this season and into the next one.
