Made the jump this am and now off to the Web.com A tour. May be back someday to the big boys tour, but this way I'm doubling my rounds per week, shooting -20 and making the cut and occassionally competing on the weekend. Great to have the flexibility and congrats to all the awesome players on the PGA tour!

Do you mean rounds generally, or practicing the upcoming course? total rounds. I am curious to see if the PGA/Euro guys are as good as they are because of rounds played. If that is the case then that is why people like me are better off in the web.com tour as it seems there are more people like me on there that get around a dozen or so rounds a week. I play about 6 rounds a week. A 4-round tourney and a couple practice rounds. However, I got pretty good at reading (virtual) greens by playing TW PGA Tour 15 rounds a week back in the mid-2000's |

I'm sure there are some PGA guys that get in a ton of rounds, but there are probably just as many who don't play as many rounds and just have a natural feel for the game. I only play the tourneys each week (and one practice round), and I make the cut more often than not. However, I won't ever have a shot at winning as long as they keep using courses where it's going to take -70 to win. In my opinion, we need to try to find/create courses that are realistic but play challenging. If we could see winning scores more commonly in the -25 to -30 range, that would be fantastic. |

As you stated in another thread the swing sensitivity needs to be harder so there is less accuracy. Although i agree with that this is something for hb to evolve not tgc tours. So the only fix at the min to lower scores to the level required is to have these slightly over the top firm courses. Take your pick but at the minute we cannot have both. And as for saying your not capable of winning is the exact reason you will not win on tour. As i have said previously stop making the same errors if you want to improve alter something in your game until it makes an improvement. I believe everybody is capable if your willing to improve. No good saying you want to do well if your not willing to change what your doing wrong. Do not take this wrong as i am not being disrespectful as i once was average joe. |

Said it in another thread as well - but putting inside 20feet is way more unrealistic than any aspect of the long game.
No grid brings it right down to more realistic territory. Issue with that is that maybe we don't want realistic putting?

I don't think we need to make it harder, but we need to fix key issues first, like laggy play, not be able to hit 100%, and courses that play on all systems. We need to get those fixed before anything else happens.
We're playing Shawnee Creek GC right now on the Web Tour A, and there won't be any -40 or -50 scores this time around, especially if even a 10 to 15 mph wind creeps in. This course has crowned greens that are about postage size, and just hitting them is hard enough, only to watch a lot of shots just roll off. GV's are very popular on this course. For those not familiar with the term, GV's are greens visited. This course should be on the PGA tour.

No good saying you want to do well if your not willing to change what your doing wrong. Do not take this wrong as i am not being disrespectful as i once was average joe. Appreciate the input, but I honestly don't really make any a lot of in-game errors. The problem is that the courses we've played over the last few weeks are so easy, that I just get bored by the time I'm on round 3. Part of the beauty of golf is actually having to think about your next shot and having it be a challenge to execute. In this game, you're just on autopilot, and that does get boring. Most of the time, I find myself mixed right in with the leaders at the end of round 2 and then I lose interest, simply because it does get a little repetitive sometimes. I guess if we still see these -70 shootouts, I'll just have to take a substantial break after the first two rounds before I play the last two rounds. |
