That video is the story of my week too. Course was really nice tee to green then the greens were just pants. No thought process to them whatsoever. I bogied the short par 3 twice from nowhere. 6ft putt in first round showed right to left break i played it right lip. It stayed dead straight and ran off the green. Not gonna slate it too much but the greens were just dog toffee. Found very high wind/dawn setup really laggy again. Is it just me or since this lockdown if the course is too dark or very windy the servers are having a meltdown. Me and alot of my british friends are struggling even playing societies atm cos of blue screens and disconnects. Good luck all left to play amd stay safe all

It did seem to me like the greens could use a once over with the smoothing tool for the breaks to play more accurate. At times the putting felt like people had been stepping in my line. Oh well, we all played the same course. Vitaly managed his usual 39 putts through 36 holes so reading them is definitely possible.

Only up to 6, so a cheap week for Mitch, so far... Our 6th, 2nd time in a row since arriving on PGA. Hopefully he's not feeling to Gray about the situation and can discover a swing to keep competing.
Fun API fact - The top 30 WGR players have more pulls between them (26) this season than the entire TST database (25).

Well, what a difference a day makes, putting confidence built up in rds 1+2 evaporated quicker than a puddle in the sahara dessert in rd3 , it was if my annual subscription to, Crapters 'R' Us, had been taken out -2 & -11 in rds 3&4 finishes me on (-35) for event Well played all those who have finished and good luck to those yet to start/finish Stay Safe All

Looking like a missed cut for me. Didn't plan on playing honestly as I try some things to get a little more variance. They definitely worked as my first round was one of my worst in ages. Even through 10 holes and shot 67 but then figured things out in the second round before pars on 16-18 probably cost me the cut.
Sad too because I managed to get all the way to -40 for what would probably be a somewhat decent finish.
Positive is I beat the right stick in on my controller so hard that it was the first time in ages I was able to try as hard as possible to hit straight shots and feel like I could still pass API.

Yes, servers are poor. Tried playing a society and kept locking up so quit and tried another which wouldn’t load.

Floating right stick killing my chances of decent scores lately. Accuracy is hard enough in this game without the reticule going walkabout and normally just on the swing. Hardly ever miss a cut but this is looking like 2 in a row. Tried beating the crap out of the stick but didn't seem to work. A few more putts dropping would help too but that's a long shot.

Of the top thirty, only 4 have not ever fallen into the API? Congratulations!!! Who are they??? Only up to 6, so a cheap week for Mitch, so far... Our 6th, 2nd time in a row since arriving on PGA.

Not each man pulled once. Many have no pulls. Some have multiple.

I'm not sure what happened with any of the setup this week. This is what I had documented and Doyley had sent back to me at one point. So something got mixed up somewhere. Zurich R1 R2 R3 R4 Wind Speed Medium High High Low Wind Direction Northwest North Northeast East Time of Day Default Dawn Dawn Afternoon Weather Default Clear Overcast Clear Green Speed Fast Fast Default Fast Green Firmness Very Firm Firm Firm Very Firm Terrain Firmness Soft Moderate Firm Firm Was supposed to be 1 187 round, no very high wind rounds and no noon rounds. Don't beat yourself up, I should have published at 177 speeds and there wouldn't have been any issues. I would suggest staying away from changing the time of day, it's a crapshoot. When a designer changes the inclination and orientation of the sun, afternoon isn't exactly what you think. Sometimes it just moves it around the sky at the same level. And lighting takes a long time to get right. Everything is designed around it. Unless it's a distraction, just leave it as is. But those are just suggestions. Yeah, I picked a day on Bronson's Riveria clone course earlier this season and it was apparently a shadowy nightmare. I think you go w/ the default time of day unless you really know other times can work. Rangers won't likely catch that

Travisty for Mr Foland, 3rd time and out of the majors 7 total, with the cut approaching, and a number of players still thru R1 alone. I would really hope that the number of pulls falls again this week... But if not, it could be costly for Mr. Barnett. As a betting man, I'd take the over vs last week... Sorry Mitch.

Deja vu?
