up mup kupen nup What’s the tie breaker if @oldsouled and I end up with the same points? Wins? Yes, I would say wins. And if wins are tied as well, I don't mind giving two Golden Cows.

Good evening.
I'm not happy with my performance this week. I played yesterday evening already, and even though I would have had plenty of time over the week, I was stubborn and finished the whole tournament in one pass. Moreover, those were my rounds 4, 5, 6, and 7 for the evening, and it is needless to say that my concentration went south in my final round.
Thus, I have -8, -6, -10, and -3 for a grand total of -27 this week. I'm still shaking my head.

-7, -12, -8, -5 for a -32 total
Really struggled round 4 and was +1 through 9 and was E through 13 then 5 straight birdies to close out. Always a rollercoaster

I was a bit confused when I saw world ranked 46 on the top of the Euro leaderboard. I guess this is nothing new? Yeah we had a few people who were staying down around here to beat up on us earlier in the season. This guy was ranked even better in WGR earlier this season and consistently getting top 3 finishes. Looked like he withdrew from some PGA events in time to get down here for the Euro playoffs. That’s a bit more than silly, isn’t it?

-5 -11 for me.
This course does not suit my eye. I really didn't like the soft/187 greens and I find the course to be quite repetitive. No offense to the architect. The course is stunningly beautiful, I just don't enjoy playing it all that much.
I let the course get to me early, and it proved with a horrible -1 back 9 in round 1. I took a breather and realized this is probably my last ever TGC 2019 event and in round 2 I tried to make the most of it. I am happy with a 61 on that second round but it probably won't be enough.
If it isn't enough, thank you to everybody for an amazing season and a great time through this new game. I signed up for TGC Tours late in the TGC 2 campaign so it is nice to see this one all the way through. From playing the Low Course at St Bedes in Q School of October 2018, to now, it really has been a blast.
I can't wait for 2k21 and I hope to make it back right back to the Euro tour. Let's keep this thing going!

Agreed, wondering what Doyley s thoughts on the issue are and whether its legal.

Let's keep this thing going! Similar situation for me...I think I played like 4 rounds on TGC2 in CC-D after just having discovered this group. I qualified into CC-B and eventually got to the Web in a promotion event. Then got on fire (for me) and made my way through the Web playoffs into the Euro promotion to start this year. It’s been a fun journey. Controller issues got me a couple failed API which I guess is why I’m not in the Euro playoffs...big bummer

In what may be the worst timed promotion to PGA ever... this is for Cow Points only. -13, -12- Sitting on top of PS4 leaderboard after 2 rds and I'm wondering what earns more WGR points a top 5 in Euro or a missed cut on PGA? I probably should've tanked last week and definitely should stop after 2 rounds- I've never played 4 competitive rounds in a row before... but I'm on fire. -8, -7. hit so many good shots that ended up in bad places- a BS fast on 11 put one in the ocean, and finished out the last 2 holes with 3 putts from under 7' -40 Total thanks again up mup kupen nup for putting these seasons together.

knothead85 Doyley is the one who helped set up and enforce the new PGA swing standards which Kevin has continually been unable to pass, and likewise, it's part of his decision to leave Euro/KF out of that new metric. While I'm sure it may be a bit silly (not disagreeing), I'm not sure how you can blame a guy for playing in a Tour where his swing, at least as the current rules stand, fall within the fair play policy.
Thankfully we've got 2K21 coming out soon, and August 6th to see some great game play! So that's good news moving forward! Besides, we might not have this swing debacle problems with the new version! One can hope.

Ahhh... Sand-bag Ernie... Mr. Becker. He's up and down like a whores drawers. Tees off, doesn't even complete his 1 PGA round, twice, so that he can get the demo marks come back to Euro and look great atop the board with a wonky swing that is a blatant advantage... Bet you lads are a great fan of that. You're trying to tell me he can't keep it in the cone enough to pass the API? It's hardly a challenge. He's a good player, he just knows it's easy to play wonky, and FU to the Euro guys. It's more difficult to try to swing straight, as has been proven

First thing, I want to be clear, I am Not showing favoritism Nor bias to any individual person. I'm simply advocating for a fair set of rules which All members must play by. You've got me scratching my head man when you state, "It's hardly a challenge." There are multiple people in the PGA Fair Play Policy thread who were failing API and struggling with the new metric. One of the guys name was "Ty", and you even tried to give him some friendly advice and ended with: Kevin has already said in the week 40 thread that he was struggling with the PGA swing parameters so that was why he was back in Euro. So then, by what gauge are you using to "encourage" one player, yet, for another guy experiencing the same exact issue, demonize? It's a serious question man. Before you answer, I'd like to provide a quote directly from TGCTS official fair play policy statement:
To paraphrase Doyle from a twitch comment regarding extending the PGA swing metric to all Pro tours (he could always chime in his exact words or current philosophy), "There are a lot of people who wouldn't pass and it would be too much work". Without question, it's a HUGE challenge for some people. So what are we to do? For me it's pretty simple, ensure that everyone in Euro is playing and abiding by the same exact rules, w/out exception. Again, this isn't about singling out any specific player, but rather, ensuring everyone is on the same page. You have access to all Euro/KF API data yes? How many people would fail the PGA swing metric? It would be impossible to justify the removal of one player w/out also removing the rest.

Purposely dropping down come playoff time because you cannot pass API; that’s just not okay, IMO.

fransslabak I get where you're coming from, and NO DOUBT, the timing is ripe. Having said that, if he's having problems with the PGA API, then where else is he supposed to play? Everyone else in Euro/KF who would fail in PGA are still allowed to play, yes? Being impartial isn't always an enjoyable experience but the only thing we, or any other player can do is play by the rules set by this site.
