-51 in the end.
It was going well until the 17th hole in round three. I played for a fast/fast as I was in between clubs; got a p/p and landed in a more or less vertical bunker to the right of the green that had soft sand, which caused the ball to plug. From there I made bogey and struggled for the next 8 or 9 holes. I was very surprised that the "reachable" par four third wasn't actually reachable in the final round, having hit 2 wood the round before and hitting a huge hook with driver in round two. The wind wasn't very strong at all according to the wind meter. I did well to make a bogey there.
I rallied a little on the back nine to card a 62 to get it beyond the -50 mark.
The lag was awful in round two, I'd say that the game was running at no more that 10-15 fps at times.

Opening tee shot of the event.....10 yard grounder! (Just like real life!) Had been playing sim earlier and just became used to moving the stick down and up for the overhead cam with the putter off the tee. Had a brain fart and did it with the driver, so stupid lol. Had to “tee off” from the light rough...did still get par though lol. Definitely encountered quite a bit of lag, especially round 2. My uphill flop on 18 was VERY laggy...not what I wanted when trying to battle the cut line! Was so afraid of getting a very slow and rolling back down. Luckily I got a p/p. Unless the rules have been changed since the earlier games, this isn't allowed in TST on the tee box, just when you're within 50 yards of the green; it certainly wasn't in the past. Similarly the free cam on PC was outlawed as it gives the player a huge advantage. It wasn't an enforceable setting, just a trust type of rule. I could be wrong and there might have been some changes and relaxing of the rules?

I could be wrong and there might have been some changes and relaxing of the rules? Really?! I honestly have no clue. I’m not aware of stuff from the past as I joined less than a year ago. I’ll have to look into it. That never dawned on me as any type of violation...especially given that I learned it as a tip from the boards here. Feel kinda shitty now, I really had no idea if it is. I just figured it was the usual stuff like don’t chip on greens...not sure about ghost balls but I don’t use them anyway.

As I said before, it may no longer be a rule anyway? You don't need it anyway, the overhead map is usually good enough. Plus, if you get your line wrong off the tee during the first round, you're unlikely to make the same mistake again

Plus, if you get your line wrong off the tee during the first round, you're unlikely to make the same mistake again I did find this mention for the settings in the rules thread - “Approach & Putting Cameras (to read greens and inside 50 yards): On” That’s all I could find, looks like you’re right though! Unless it’s talked about somewhere else, anything that’s an honor system rule though really needs to be emphasized and explained more. I think most people, especially those unaware of previous years’ discussions, would just totally gloss over that... as I’m sure I did lol. I think I use it more out of a paranoia anyway, just to double check that im not driving straight into the woods lol. And no, I will 100% make the same bad tee shot every single round!! Can never seem to remember where I aimed the previous round. Only until it lands in the heavy rough do I say, “sh%$, I aimed here last time...” 🤬

Congrats on the win wmr5277 , definitely well played and well deserved! Thank you sir. Appreciate it. Couldn't let you get 3 in a row. Haha. I really enjoyed the course this week as I've told the course designer a few times in the past that its one of my favorite from the World Cup of Design. Very unique looking piece of property that was fun to play Dylan. Looking forward to your next design!
