Good luck all this week. I really should of played a practice before dogging the first round and speed golfing the other 3. Course looks great but the greens are just whack! Tricked up and poorly sculpted round most of the holes. If you can flick and carry a 183( which i dont anymore) youll score well. Normally i get away with it but alot of the par 3s call for a 183 club to be perfect number. Worst greens ive played in a long time. I had so many un holeable putts it was ridiculous. If your gonna trick it up at least use a smooth brush to give ppl the chance of reading it and making it. I missed loads that said there was a subtle break at the hole. Like 3 clicks left to right and they just stayed straight. No consistency to them at all. Design was really nice tho but greens were ruined for me. That doubled with the awesomes greens that run away from the hole when your hitting a long iron in. You look from birdseye view and no yellow then when you hit your off the green at the back and chipping up a yellow that was never there. On to next week. I havent even seen what wonder has been selected yet. There are some amazing courses on this game and they just arent getting picked. Any course is tough if you putt wind on it. STOP manufacturing difficulty. Just makes it a lottery. Nothing worse than hitting a good shot and getting punished for it. I played about 6 holes and when I had a short 6ft put kick left when showing right I had enough. Speed played my 2 rounds and moved on to TST. Tired of it all.

This doesn't happen to me very often, but I didn't enjoy the rounds this week. I struggled putting, and didn't really hit it well either. -13 at the cut and won't make it which doesn't bother me in the least.

Arrgh! Did the only thing I couldn't do and hit a slow into the drink on #13 for the dreaded double. Almost lost a controller after missing a 6 footer on #18. What could have been. -9 round 1. I must say I sure don't miss those guys in the other tourney.😁

R1 in at -7... didn’t hit it great, and putted poorly. Lots of wobbly ones that could knife edge both ways and I got the wrong side of most... didn’t even bother to read a couple late on - missed em on the wobbly side as I sped thru to 18.
Got wet balls at some point too after getting a 95% going for an FF - but again, when you’re half cut and distracted, that’s the apples you get.
Will try to recover this evening but I’m predicting a MC this week.

It is holiday hours time in the VR Arcade so I'm working about 78 hours this week, so I'll be continuing to take a break until at least next week when things finally calm down. You all have fun on those crazy greens! Oh as for the flop on the green. I also believe the rules state that if someone wants to issue an official complaint, they need to send video/picture evidence to the admin. Just saying something here on the forums doesn't seem to be enough anymore. So that means someone is going to have to bring up his ghost on hole 18 and take a video / picture of the putt, then lodge a formal complaint, otherwise, nice rounds!

-11, -10, -15, -9. Decent but I'm fuming cause I defo left shots out there, shoulda shout around the -50 mark. Can understand people's complaints about the greens. Won't be missing all the big guns this week though! Hopefully a top 10 for me, currently 2nd on PS4 but it's only Monday.

Almost wasn't gonna finish my rounds with my -22 through 2, thought that had no chance given the last few weeks. Forgot the big dogs were in Hawaii and saw I was T3 through 1. Finished at a bland -40, but that might be good enough for a top 40 or 50 this week.

I rarely play Tours events anymore but figured i try it out this week. Played well for an xboxer but was just laying up on 18 thinking a birdie would be just fine. A very fast DS does me in. OB on the beach. Went from -17 chance at cut to -14 with one swing. I enjoyed the course. Good design.

-7 -14 -10 -10
-41 overall.
Pretty happy with that. Left a few out there as all of you have. Could have been worse.
P. S. : have beaten Rob by a shot... has been a while that I have been able to do that. On to next week.

Bad start. Missed birdie putts on 1, 2, and 4 because they never broke. Missed a par putt on 2 because it DID break. Was in 2 bunkers on 4. Slow downswing on 5 so I missed that putt too, and was at even at that point. Got a little better after that and I got to -3 through 9, but I coudln't really get anything going on the back 9 and finished at -6 for the first round. Second round started MUCH better, -5 through 4 holes. Was -9 through 9 as well. Birdied 10 as well to put me on the cut line. Then on the tee on 11, a stutter caused a massive very fast downswing into the trees, my second shot got caught up and was short of the green, my flop was long, and I missed the 9 foot bogey. Made up those 2 shots on the next 2 holes. Ended up getting to -12 for the round, and made the cut at -18. First round really took me out of contention though.
EDIT: Was 11:50 too late to get my scores in? I'm not showing up on the leaderboard.
