I give up with this game!!!! Everytime in a tourney things never go my way. I can be shooting lights out in practice and have no problems what so ever but as soon as i start a tourney the game decides to go against me and i get TONS OF BALL SQUIRTING, putts always missing, driving into the rough by an inch and under 100% shots. Starting to get really pissed off and don't know why i ever play tourneys.
R1: 61 (-11) R2: 63 (-9) R3: 66 (-6) R4: 66 (-6)
Total: -32
I gave up after round 1, not because of the score but because of what happened like what i mentioned above.

I miss 3 footers like they're going out of style. I actually need to get to the point of not caring anymore before I start playing anywhere decent. But I agree with the squirting. I have no idea whether the ball is going to go straight or dead right. I played with taste's ghost and watched him hit countless shots within 10 feet while I'm dropping the ball 20 yds away from my landing area and moving even further away. But I know that this week is going to be tough for everyone. I am a little surprised though that you would give up after a -11 on this course. I know you shot a -15 before but that's not too far off. How many people get course records in a competition? I think your -32 will be good for a top 30 or better and with this strength of field you won't move much, if at all, in the rankings.

I gave up after round 1, not because of the score but because of what happened like what i mentioned above. Oh I feel your pain, as much as I searched for the problem, I spent 10X that amount looking for a solution, a formula, an answer to when it happens, how it happens, why it happens, every time I thought I found something, it would turn out it was just to small of a sample. I created uneven lies looking for the answer, I created flat lies, I took notes of holes, rounds, courses, logging the squirt, right, left, straight, iron, wind, lie, axis hit looking for consistency in the squirt, there is none, I thought I found the answer in a restart of the computer, turns out it's not there either. I even did a pattern search of 100 results, nothing found. Just because I have not found the formula, does not mean it's not there though, I continue to search.
I could chat for ages on the pattern search with fellow math wizards, not finding is finding etc.etc.
1 thing I did find, was this course is a "squirter".
I predict the winner comes from PS4, not because I know it does not squirt on that platform, but because I do not know.
Low scores are to be had here, but only if the ball does not squirt, it squirts the slightest and you are fcked on many holes.

Played so, SO badly. Raging. 66, 64, 68 and 68 is just not good enough. Worst I've played since the tour started - won't be surprised if I finish last.
ARGH!!!!!

I can confirm PS4 is subject to the squirt. I lost a ball in the lake off a tee shot where the wind was coming off the lake (5-7ish), i set up my target on the edge of the fairway by the lake and hit it straightish (not perfect but in the cone - and the side i missed on was the opposite of the lake). No loft or fade/draw added. Ball lands a foot from the lake and trickles in. This tourney was maddening to me as well. Started off -11 and then proceeded to lip out at least 5 putts (one actually went a complete 90 degree turn). Between the squirting issues and the putting problems (another b%& is watching a putt go past the hole and break and then go dead straight coming back - or vice versa is maddening) i ended up shooting a -32 for the tourney. Hope it raises my WR enough to make sure I get in the Masters field

Oh it squirts on PS4 alright. Had a few drives that went right, par 3 tee shots and even a couple of uphill lies with a right to left wind still went to the right.
That being said played 2 rounds of -10 and -8. Putting let me down, especially in the 2nd round. Pretty much was missing most putts by 2 inches and had the dreaded phantom slope putt which went straight, followed by having the same slope putt the next hole and the ball curls and misses on the other side of the cup.

I can also add to the confirmations that it squirts on ps4!
Hit -7 in first round. Little disappointed as hit -10 in practice but saved it with 2 birdies in last 2 holes and no bogeys.
Generally speaking looking at the scores, day 1 seems to play harder than the other 3 days so hoping for maybe -40 and top 25

Sort-of good to know everyone experiences the same. Makes you want to bottle the round you shoot low with no squirt, but it's pretty rare these days. That is why this course grew on me a bit though, while you can low, real low, if you are off in the slightest in bites back hard.

I sometimes get the squirts but it has nothing to do with my PS4.

I loved the course Colin, it's the game itself im annoyed with. I appreciate the time you put in to make Trump National Doral.
It's also good to know that im not the only one experiencing the issues i have mentioned. I can tell you that it's not very nice when you know you have shot well in practice (-15) yet go and shoot something that is not up to your standards.

Im not gna lie i will be glad to see the back of this course. I wont be near the top of the putts inside 5ft stat ranking this week thats for sure! Tried all options and they all failed. Bit of advice, powering thru the break ( dont do this it will leave u with a 35 footer coming back) left the course with one round to play and very disappointed. Made abit of a fight of it in round 3 shooting -12 but im currently -26 and will not be finishing top 50 unless i can muster up something special in the final round. Good luck all.

Yeah I have also noticed the ball shooting left / right off the clubface off the tee and then curves left / right depending on the wind direction. The ball should come off squarely and then turn.
