Went to bed feeling quite happy. Woke up to my first ever API fail in more than 4 years playing these tours. Please ignore the last post, nothing to see here

Went to bed feeling quite happy. Woke up to my first ever API fail in more than 4 years playing these tours. Please ignore the last post, nothing to see here Sorry to read that Jamie It is what it is. It's a standard Xbox controller which came with the console, but it is a few years old. You may remember, I had it checked out by the Admin when I started using it again and it was fine, but I guess now it isn't. Bit gutted really, I had such good tempo last night and that's nothing to do with dead zones. Now I have a dilemma, go back to the newer controller which I was struggling to even putt straight with or use the twin of this one which came with the console?

I failed the API at the start of this season on the putting line, have used the second controller since which was a struggle to start with but I’ve worked at it. The admins helped after I failed to make sure the next controller didn’t fail too. Feel for ya particularly after such a strong score

Lots of low scores this week which means your putting needs to be on point. Left a few out there in round three and 4 in round 4, in between clubs on the 17th fairway and got wet which led to a double. Middle of the pack but very happy with how I’m playing.
Lovely course that makes you think about plotting a route to the hole particularly the Par 3’s.
Enjoyed it
Finished -42

I'm glad they have the rules in place, but at the same time it's unfortunate when it happens in this way.

Shot a nice Bo on the opener. Spoiled a flop in eagle on 14 with a squirrley drive on 15 - water ball. Kept my cool for once and played solid in from there. Nice course. Enjoyed the round. Good luck to all still to play. Some real low scores so far. Well played on those -14s.

Thanks epic013, it's just one of those things. Eventually controllers wear out. I feel like a proper TGCT player now I've finally had an API fail! 😂 Admin are very helpful in these situations. I played round one of Euro with my other old controller and they checked it out. It passed but not by much, so I guess it's back to struggling with my new controller for me. I'm not going to run the risk of a second pull. This controller seems ridiculously sensitive, but it's not long till the new Xbox is out so I've only got to suffer until then.

Felt good the whole 1st round until I went bogey, bogey on 16/17 which dropped me from a nice -11 to a -9. Would have loved to have that -11 with all these low scores out there.

SO FRUSTRATING Giraffe72 especially when things were going so well. Good luck next week! And there is a lot of great shooting going on this week. I thought I was going to be fine at -17 but that may not make the cut! Going to come down to the wire I'm afraid and this week things feel just crazy. These reflect my thoughts so far today.

Another week to sweat out a demo mark. Started really well, eagles on 6 and 9, -8 through 15... Bogeyed 17, Birdied 18, finished -8. Started Rd 2 alright, but missed a couple of makeable putts. Still had 32 on the front, and was in decent shape, and the the wheels fell off. 3 bogeys on the back 9 to finish with a -3. So frustrating.
On a side note. The tee shot on 11 pisses me off. That is all...

Sitting at -25 after two. Had a HIO on number 7. Another water ball was the only mistake. This time it was a pull on number 10. This course can bite you if you make bad swings.
Round three slide down the leaderboard. -9 for -34. T11. Another water ball. This time on 17.

Brand new to the Korn Ferry or whatever we are calling it this week. I really don’t know what to expect but the threads are a lot livelier than in C.C. Especially for an old fogey like me. Though I don’t drink tea or podcast cookie shows.😉 The old fogey needs a slap to the head. Busy week, planning on getting my first two rounds in Thursday. I frickin assumed it would be a 08:00 UTC cut off like everything else but no it’s 04:00. Missed by an hour though when I played my rounds I thought I was okay. I will be back. Sorry guys. Still learning. Only 5th week playing a TGCT. I pretty much sucked though. I assume there are no penalties for getting your first two rounds in late but I couldn’t find anything in the rules or I missed it. See ya next week and I am really looking forward to the Vancouver tournament as I grew up there just hope the course matches the locale. Cheers.

I’m pretty sure if you didn’t finish the first round before the cutoff it’s a DNS. There’s no penalty for that. If you got the 1st round in but not the 2nd, it’s a Withdrawl which does have a penalty. Hope that helps
