Smaller field doesn't mean it's any less competitive - good luck out there! Talk about your rounds in here!

I just earned my PGA Tour card after making the cut at the Honda Classic, so this will be my official debut as a full-time member on the PGA Tour! Got a couple of practice rounds in and it seems like people could post some pretty low scores here. Should be fun! Good luck to everyone

Just finished round one. I played a practice round before jumping in since i've never played the course before. Shot a -11 in good conditions, 3-8mph winds throughout. Good time to jump over and play the first two rounds right? Tee up at 1st hole.... 10mph. Looked at clock, just turned 3pm. Ok, we have a change in the weather, let's go anyway. The wind was a consistent 12-15mph throughout the rest of the round from the 3rd hole on. Ended Round One at 61 (-10). I'll play Round Two later

Rd 1: 59 (-12) Rd 2: 56 (-15) Rd 3: 61 (-10)
I started out the first round on fire and think I was -8 through 9. Played an ok back 9 until I bogeyed the par 5 18th. Round 2 I was all over the pins on my approach shots and putted well when i missed the approach. Still left a few out there, but can't complain. Round 3 things started to get away from me a bit and found myself missing a lot more fairways and greens than I had the previous two rounds, so I paused after that one. I'll come back to it again when I feel like I got my groove back. The winds were anywhere from 0-11 mph over the 3 rounds I played.
I'm hoping for a T10 finish this week, but I honestly have no idea if that's a valid goal. I believe a 53 or even 52 can be carded, but most of the players that can do that are in the WGC. CC @ Bodega Bay is a beautiful course, is pretty easy to score on, but there are a lot of places you can get into that will add some strokes to your score. It's short, though, so clubbing down in some situations can minimize the bogeys. It takes a little while to load, but not overly long. The greens are fairly easy for the most part if you leave yourself on the right part of the green.

Saw 22 MPH winds and turned around and went back into the clubhouse for a beer.

Was going to play a few rounds today but I start it up on the 1st tee and.... 22mph winds. Yea, no thanks. I'm not one to wind wait but I've missed 4 cuts in a row now due to playing in consistent 14-18mph winds for each of the last 4 tournaments. I need a break from that for at least 1 week to get my confidence back lol.

R4: 59 (-12) Total -49
Put one in the water on 12 and got a bogey out of it. Just missed an eagle chip on 18 by about a 1/2 inch.
See a -50 and several in the -40s on the PS4 leaderboard.

Finished -42. 62 62 56 62. The unfortunate part was the putter. Almost everything I made was inside 10 feet. Even hit a 5 wood to 5 feet for eagle during the second round, and ended up with a par. Need to figure out how to stop missing by an inch on every hole...

Had good winds through the first three rounds and squandered it away with some real poor play. Then the winds kicked up in the fourth round to 15 mph. Too bad because there was a lot of birds out there. Did have a couple of good shots with a hole in one on the par 3 8th.
Well if nothing else I was consistent with four rounds of 62. Great course and had a lot of fun. Great playing with you guys.

Anybody looking to play on xbox1 right now? Would like to play a tourney with turn order on and actually watch each other shots rather than just a ghost ball. Give me a tee time and we can set it up.

Did anyone have trouble loading this course up last night on PS4? It took about 10 minutes for the course to load up for me, and then the swing was stuttering. (Thankfully it was only a practice round, but I had to quit after 1 hole it was so bad). I shut down my PS4 and rebooted the game, and it was the same way.

It took a long time for me to load this course as well yesterday. But it was also taking me a long time to get from the original loading screen to the main menu too. I had never experienced that before yesterday. I didn't have any problems once I was actually on the course.

I played last night about 7-8 pm EST and didn't have a ton of loading issues. It did take a little longer than usual, perhaps a couple minutes total, but not near 10. Did you try any streaming of video or other heavy bandwidth usage? I'm thinking it may be a internet provider issue (Netflix just released House of Cards and maybe that contributed to a lot of it).
