Firstly, I didn't find many tempo issues or lag, had 2 slow downswing's on H1 of rd 2, tee & approach shots but apart from that it seemed ok to me, had lag on H18 in rd 2, approach going to green (which i never hit btw ) and then 3rd shot from bunker was laggy, but again apart from that it seem to be ok. Secondly, it only took me 30 holes to catch fadgewacker 1st round score bleeping, bleep bleep Thirdly, 6 rounds played 4 TST, 2 here all bogey free -20 thru 2, back-back -10's, should be enough, but you never know.

-27 through 36 holes. Course was definitely glitchy during round 2, didn’t see any lag til 18 though. A very slow out of the green side bunker led to my first bogey of the tournament. Can’t be too mad because I had an ace in each round! Hope to keep up the (ace) pace and try to contend after very bad play last week, good luck out there everyone.

Take a bow Chris Hrabec - each week, taking disregard for his competitors to a new level. SEVENTH time this season alone 😂 At what point do you say enough is enough?

In amongst all that, there have been 3 top 10s... along with a bunch of missed cuts to be fair. When NOT DQ’d Chris only made 40% of the cuts. Legitimately earned his top 10s and Fedex points? Who knows... there’s a problem he’s reluctant to fix it seems, without knowing any more about his situation.

My main beef is that we play too many course cut into cliffsides (If TGCT was a country we'd have run out of coastline 18 months ago) or with table top greens that reject anything but the perfect shot. So unless you're near to perfectly accurate, you're constantly flirting with disaster.
Like you say, the schedulers can only schedule what the designers design. And total fantasy (way beyond being simply fictional) seems to be on trend.
The first time i played this i just thought it was ludicrous. I then entered the thread and all i saw was plaudits for the design work. That's fine, and like you say, it looks great. But whether the course has any basis in reality whatsoever doesn't seem to be a metric that courses are ever judged by...
Lol that coastline comment did make me laugh a bit and not as a shot at anyone. I think the community has been washed into at this point thinking every golf course has to be based in an absolutely spectacular setting to be noticed and it’s unfortunate. That’s why I get excited and make sure to give some feedback recently when I see a very realistic looking course in new completed courses that looks great. But with how many phenomenal courses we get, it makes sense that people are drawn to the ones that look like they might wow them. It’s even happened to me. I published Oconee and it randomly got over 2,000 plays without a big society host probably just because it looked crazy weaving around a massive lake on every single hole. But it was a di**punch of a course throughout. Then I published Dunwoody which is a simple setting and by far a better golf course in every way but it barely got 100 plays. So it’s hard to blame anyone who goes with the spectacular setting route. I will use Dunwoody in 2 societies on Xbox1

I started playing tgc in May of 2018. And was difficult for a while getting the tempo of the swing down. Was a solid player on Tiger. But as I worked my way up through the challenge circuit and eventually won and got my pga card in tgc2. I was called every name in the book. Was called out more when tgc19 came out and EARNED my pga card. Never had a pull. Knock on wood!! And don't really expect to with my swing lines. All the way to the bottom and to the top, but far from straight. If I had 7 pulls I would be like Frankenstein heading for the barn with the tgc community following with their lanterns and torches chanting kill the cheating c***!!!!🏰😜

At what point do you say enough is enough? About 2 months after 2019 launch Well GW, spit out half my mouthful of coffee, the rest of it went up and out my nose. It was rather painful, but damn if this wasn't spot on.👏👏👏

It was rather painful, but damn if this wasn't spot on.👏👏👏 My moment was when I finished solo second, seven shots ahead of third, and two back of WGR #1 who can't play in the "special events" like the Masters.

Had it rolling up until rd 3 hole 17. Ball was a foot away from staying on correct level but rolled back 80 ft off the green. Proceeded to hit a flop short that rolled back 60 ft. Made bogey. Played like trash final rd to finish -45. Dissapointing but as good as I played up until my meltdown I didn’t really have a chance of touching -58, so whatever on to next week

Crapster has finished for another week 2 Bogeys and 2 Double Bogeys in the last 36 Holes -7 & -1 for a -28 finish Doyley had to chip on green in rd 4, posted pic on Twitter and tagged tgctours, have pic if needed Well played all who have finished, good luck to those yet to start/finish High 5 on the double bogey / bogey count! I made some insane decisions on R3, and backed them up with VF downswings R4 - I'd sort of given up... took on LOADS of stupid shots. I like the course. Was about as "fantasy" as I'm comfortable with, but was a great design, with a lot of variety on the greens / pins. Some of the internal OOB were a bit iffy. IMO, unless you're to be completely stopped taking a line that allows you a shortcut or distinct advantage on the hole, those areas should be staked hazards. Maybe it was the lighting, maybe it was me, but I had more VF DS than I can remember having this week, and in the end, I was able to adjust, but something seemed off. All that said.. blah blah blah... Pints are on you this week SMIFFYLFC79

Holy Bageezus, that's an amazing score! Kudos to whoever shot that and it's a well-deserved win...I assume it was Vitaly judging by the tgc site leaderboard=P (Inserts Hi-Five emoji)
