By the way, I want to apologize right now for my inability to keep the Kevins straight. I’ve become the feeble uncle who can’t recall anyone’s names anymore.

Round 1 score card signed and submitted at Saxondale. SkyBlueBen ,I did save one shot for the tournament. Trying to give the Monty Python Flying Circus a jump start! My apologies to Art Vandelay. Another HIO on #3.

Finished this one up and can only say hated every minute of it. Glad to see the back of it. Won't be going back there anytime soon. Can't be arsed when what appears to be a perfectly good shot that looks like it'll be pin high rolls and rolls and ends up 28 yards away. And not just on one occasion. I don't know if that happens in real golf but if it does I'm glad I don't play the bloody game!!
Anyhow...we have
Rd 2 -2 Rd 3 -2 Rd 4 -8
Thank you and good night!!
Backwards!!

In real golf you can put more backspin on the ball especially with short irons but you can’t in this game. You can drop the ball short of the green in real golf on certain courses and it will roll up to the flag, depending on conditions especially if the tournament is setup with soft fairways you can’t do that in this game many times it will stop dead. In many ways this game has the physics arse about face the ball will bounce in heavy rough and run or bounce on for a good few yards and in many cases run back out onto the fairway but bounce it short on the fairway and in many cases it won’t even get on the green unless it’s severely downhill.

Heh, I love this course, total opposite opinion. It's got a lot going for it and i feel it's a fair and fun challenge, and looks great! Haven't finished my rounds yet, I'm 2 or 3 holes into Rd4. My scores have been up and down - some of the holes are really tough! But I'm really enjoying Saxondale.

Already got it. Anything else? Picked up The Division 2 from Epic a couple of weeks ago for £2.49!

I decide to finish up my rounds on Saxondale. Sometimes I love this course and sometimes I don't lol. Overall it is really well done and is a formidable challenge. I was (-30) and the course decided to kick me one more time with back to back bogeys on #17 and #18 in the fourth round. I finished at (-28) for the tournament. Good luck to the dirt bags yet to tee off/finish their rounds! Round 2 Round 3 Round 4

May have something to do with my pixel golf ability!! lol

Round 1 over with, well that was strangest round I have played in memory, 4 birdies, offset by 3 bogies, offset by 3 eagles. mind you one the eagles should have been HiO but lipped the cupped and rolled straight off the green to which I then flopped it into the hole, the best and worst round I have ever played. round 2 another day.
R1: -7

Hey Frans fransslabakPlaying your ghost on Rd 1, and I’m pretty sure you were punished by the powers that be when you hit your tee shot to the adjacent fairway in order to give yourself a better approach shot. Karma, my boy... or Pablo #BlamePablo

And with regards to that last post, I give you another fine example of practice is good, then actual play not so much. Week 1, Round 1: -5 The back 9 is a real doozy! And a par 69? We play executive courses now? 🤷🏻 Let’s do this, Pitches! SkyBlueBen
