I hit my low point 2-3 weeks ago. Had to completely change up everything I was used to. My usual swing has morphed into something I didn’t recognize with no idea how to fix it. I actually took a video to analyze my hand motion. I then pinpointed some flaws and adjusted. It’s taken a few weeks but I think I’m on the cusp of being legit again. Stick with it.

Forgoing the running joke on my title defense updates.... Rounds 2 and 3, I was quite pleased with considering recent form. Nothing spectacular, but had me at least in the top 3 on PC - I'll take that these days. Even with round 3's vf/vf/vf setup, I thought those pins with that wind played fine. Then we got into round 4...
I mean....just couldn't get the ball to stop anywhere near the cup aside from one or two holes.
Thought I'd managed the 1st hole really well, played a strategic layup at an angle not directly toward the hole to get the 3rd shot I wanted, and executed fairly good, leaving a 5ft putt. I proceeded to damn near putt the ball off the green from 5ft, having missed on the low side of the cup after playing more than a cup's worth of break. I just have no control of where my ball is going to start, regardless of whether it's a putt or a full shot. Feels like I'm doing the same, or at least similar, motions on the same side of the joystick as I have since tgc2, but I'm all over the place. I can score every now-and-then when my putter is rolling, but on setups like we had in round4, I might as well be the amateur marker playing with the last touring pro in an odd numbered field who needs a playing partner.
Anyway, this is without doubt a low point for me on the enjoyment scale, but it is what it is. I'll likely keep showing up for a while and going through the motions of trying to return to decent form - may take a week off if I'm just really frustrated/can't be asked to try, knowing that it won't work, but I dk if that'll actually happen (not that anyone cares lol) - but that's what I've been doing for a while now and it's actually getting worse. All good things must come to an end at some point I guess, maybe this is just the beginning of the end for me...we'll see.
GL to all left to finish, and well played to the ps4 robots who will inevitably make up the top10 again this week - who would have guessed?!?
All of a sudden....you have me scared to play my last two rounds....=P

-9 -9 -9 -3
-30 overall.
Pretty happy with that - have beaten some guys I normally only see from distance.
This week I toggled the leaderboard to see the scores of the different platforms... and it's rather depressing. The PGA is more or less a PS4 tour. PC and Xbox players are more or less staffage.
So, when I make a cut on the highest tour, I take that as an accomplishment.
Mimimi over - see you next week!!

I do believe there are some PC guys that contend fairly regularly for wins on tour too so that's good! XB1 guys will start getting some wins soon enough. That's the hope! Great shooting though man! I haven't played my rounds yet, but I did play a practice round yesterday and you have to be pretty precise on this course. Good luck next week and good luck to the rest of the guys yet to finish up!

Really couldn't be bothered with that one. First time I've speed golfed the first 2 rnds in Tgc. The greens were torture anyhow, every putt a sidehill tidal wave. No way I was wasting time working those out. Anyway, out of it at 13 under and couldn't give a fig.

Hopefully -18 sneaks in the cut because I had a decent weekend to get me to -42 overall.

I got the first round out of the way ... managed -9. It seems from reading other posts that I should be happy with that score.
I'm not even remotely happy about it. I put together a collection of shots to illustrate why I wasn't happy with it (and almost threw the computer out the window).
Behold the glory ...

Well I played amazingly in the first round considering I didn't feel confident with this long course. Managed to shoot -15 to tie for the lead. Really was dialed in and made a lot of putts. Puts me in great position. Hopefully I can keep it going! Keep firing fellas!

Haha... that’s exactly what I had, but I was even less happy than you and couldn’t even face making a video compilation of it 😂

Too tired for riddles, so I’ll let Freddie do the honours. I hope our latest contestant wiped his feet on the Matt on the way out.

Just tried to upload a highlight to my scorecard, but messed it up somehow. Gonna try again here. If it still doesn't work, I give up.

I give up. At least my TST upload worked by some miracle.
