Finished up today and it wasn't meant to be as my good play just wasn't happening in the last two rounds. 4 bogies and short birdie putts missed. The course was fine to score on, I just began hitting poor shots. Finished -39 and will probably be top 10, so can't complain.
On to next week.

The game and community was a LOT better when it was a level playing field. The potential for an off tempo swing isn’t a factor for PS folk.
Night and day compared to now.

How do you propose the PS4 guys fix it? Not discounting that a console difference exists, but what can be done? But about that other problem...

The only solution i see is to go to Pro clubs where even if they do flick, it’s not really an advantage because the difficulty of the swing is removed for the most part and the game becomes about judgement more than execution. That’s what the game was all about in TGC1 and to a lesser extent in 2. It’s possible to have equal play across all 3 platforms by doing it as well. I think a Masters club tour should be a boutique tour like TST and Pro clubs should be mandatory on all other tours. I know the which club debate has been done to death, but now Pro clubs has the advantage of removing the flickers advantage as well as levelling the playing field across the platforms.

Lot of slow downswings early in the third round but I was making putts, made a tough par on 4, a long birdie on 5, and eagled 6, then I nearly made a 41 foot birdie on 7 after being in the bunker off the tee, I left it 4 inches short. Missed another eagle on 9 by again 4 inches. At that point I don't think I missed a putt the rest of the round. Everything dropped. And then I didn't even have to put on 18, as I holed out for eagle. Went -11 over the last 11 holes to finish with a -16 56. Two strokes better than my first and second rounds combined, vaulting me up from 67th before playing the round to tied for 9th. First hole of the fourth round, the wind suddenly dropped in the middle of my third shot and I overshot the green, then my chip went way long, leaving me with a 49 foot par, which I missed. Barely parred 2, birdied 3, then lipped out a perfect 25-ish foot putt on 4, I swear it was dead center. Disconnected as I was swinging on my second shot on 5, seems to be happening every other tournament nowadays, but it just brought be back to the tee and I hit basically the same drive. Left a putt from the fringe a foot short though. Eagled 6 to get me back under par. Only managed to par 9 though. Missed my first short putt of the day on 11, a 10 footer that never broke. Missed a 7 foot birdie on 17 too. Then I missed a 13 footer on 18 that didn't break at all. So that's 65/65/56/66 for me. Put myself back in it in the third round then took myself right out again in the fourth.
On the plus side I haven't had a fast downswing in a while, just slow, so I'm only missing in one direction.

Very unique course which I really enjoyed (hopefully my first top 5, as well, but who knows this early in the week). I don't post in the forums normally but I'm anticipating a tidal wave of criticism, just thought I'd throw a compliment out there to the designer! It's looking like it'll be more than a top 5. Good job brother

The potential for an off tempo swing isn't even a factor? Are you saying that PS4 players get perfect/perfect every swing, cause that sir is a preposterous statement. How is it that other PS4 players just let this statement go?

Because in comparison to PC and XB, it’s like night and day. This isn’t new information, or speculation - it’s backed up by the facts and hasnt been disputed since shortly after this version of the game was released.
And that’s just tempo. Add in the added accuracy of the flick swing which can only be done on PS and you have the situation we have now where the majority of the players on the top 2 tours are PS players.
