Something about this course was terribly unfun. -9,-9 hope to miss cut. I played it out and more of the same. Dull

Found the greens pretty brutal if you weren’t knocking it stiff. So many burnt edges - think I got less confident as time went on.
-11 -8 -9 -4

Played R1 last night and shot -15. I reckon if I can shoot-18,-18,-18 in my remaining rounds I might sneak a top 10 this week. 😉

Bog average from me... Played ok in R1, on the front 9 (-8) and could only finish -11. No Major blunders, but missed some quite short putts with the lumpy breaks.
R2, well, -8... Missed loads of short putts. Think I made one stupid bogey from a slow DS that felt fine. -19 makes it, but will play my TST rounds first to avoid the burn out.
It's been said before, but there was something about this weeks course I just didn't really enjoy.

Resisted playing on Sunday night (Aus time) and played Monday night instead. What a difference. -22 with high hopes of making the cut.

Just the 2 so far:
API loving Frenchman Fab Casanova makes it 6 weeks DQ'd and 1 week banned from the majors in the last 7. 2nd time since push pull for one of our German contingent on XXXBox

Sometimes I just suck and this was one of those rounds I just can't explain what happened...played the first round thinking I would shoot at least -10, that was my goal...only went for -9 Not a tough course, not a tough setup, just a bad round. Putter wasn't working on the 10-15 footers that were birdies...the way it goes sometimes. Will wait until Thursday to play round 2 to see what I need just to make the cut.

Barely managed to match my -15 first round score in my second and third rounds combined.
Really struggling to get through 8 rounds at Colonial like others have said. Not sure what it is. I think it played fairly and was a nice setup but the course just doesn’t keep you interested for whatever reason.

Controller was being weird at the start of R1 so I restarted the game and it seemed to work. -1 through 6, finished at a disappointing -9. Putter was ice cold.
Pin positions in R2 seemed a bit absurd. A lot of them were on pretty big slopes. Didn't help that my putter continued to take the piss out of me. Lipped out on half a dozen at least. Limped to -7.
-16 will be a MC. Funny one this week. Didn't even feel I played THAT poorly, just things didnt go my way. I'll echo what a lot are saying about the course - seemed a bit dull. Might be the fact there's only 1 eagle-able hole? Idk. Either way, gl all.

Three very good rounds by my standards, then R4 happened. Limped home with a -5. Honestly felt like the wind was fuc##d in R4, can recall four shots where I played what I believed, if anything, would have been slightly long, only to see it being way short!! It cost me at par 3 with a water ball, a slight adjustment on next shot and I’m way through the back...on some other shots despite adjusting for the wind it was as if I hadn’t despite a good swing...great game. Had a chance for a really good finish this week but not to be. Happy to have made cut I suppose in the grand scheme of things. Onwards.

Uuumm..... #13) Full-VS downswing (as in, the tempo meter was 100% slow, as if I just dropped the controller or something...clearly glitched)...fun.
#16) Fast downswing on 16 put me in the bunker, full loft partial LW flop somehow flew at least 8yds too far with what appeared to be accelerating over-spin upon landing (I know fast tempo boosts that shot yardage, but it was way more than that, as if the game didn't register the fact that I'd thrown full loft up), 3-putt from there....fun.
Absolutely zero explanation...guess it's a correction to the mean after a couple of solid weeks of play. I've had significant connectivity issues with the game, even more than my "usual" which is pretty damn ridiculous anyway - and btw it's only this game, literally no other game/program/browser/email/etc., just this game/servers - but I'm not going to go full-tinfoil-hat (you NEVER go full-tinfoil-hat). Won't say the constant disconnects (probably averaging 2.5/round the past 5-7 days, sometimes it's so bad that I'll reconnect, hit 1 shot, and get booted again, all why my internet is still connected perfectly fine) and flashing full white connecting icon being on screen 70% of the time lately is definitely the culprit, but it can't help and seems to be getting worse, or at least is without a cause/effect that I can figure out which would enable me to "fix" whatever is happening. It's probably just my turn to catch a few bad breaks, happens to all of us. Oh well, onto the next one.

I had that happen to me too. I had to rewind to see if game actually had it registered as a sand shot. It did.
