There’s no argument to be had. I was just answering James’ question. This stupid swing is best seen the back of...
For what it’s worth I don’t think you’re cheating at all and for 2 years it’s been fine, but I did think your swing might have been borderline with the push pull API changes. Shame it’s been set off at the business end of the season.
RE kicking everyone’s arses at 2K21... that escalated quickly. I almost expected your dad to bust through the door 😂
It’ll be interesting to see where everyone ends up in a month or so.

I like the attitude Jeff! Bring that swagger to the Ryder Cup please No doubt about it- the TST Ryder Cup is goig to be a tough test- difficult matches against the best players in the world. Any point would be a huge bonus, any mental advantage would be huge, a point would be the ultimate achievement. Playing against a lesser team would seem like a walk in the park compared to this. Unfortunately they've gotta play Europe.

Yeah, gutted. Only just failed, but a fail nonetheless at a time when I was set up nicely in the playoffs. Think it was the wide fairways that tipped it over the edge- I just can't resist lofting up and smashing the hell out of it just to gain an extra 5y- and that usually gives me a bit of a hook. Definitely no exploiting going on though, don't want anyone to think I was trying to cheat them, so I've uploaded one of the rounds that failed. I don't give two shits about this game anymore, but at 8:14, I think it's quite obvious that you are setting up for the pull shot. The lie is slightly going to push. Wind is going to push it. You loft - which should push it more... but your swing plane is a yank to left and you are basically on target to the pin. So either it's engrained in your brain and you aren't realizing it, but everything was setup to push that ball but the swing you gave it offset it back and course corrected left. Unless I'm missing something else? Could be... anyway, see everyone in 2k21!

I think that takes way more skill than doing some wind click method a lot of people employ. Or methodically counting green squares and beads or whatever. It’s called playing by feel.

I got better things to do than watch 30 minutes of someone else's round so I am not going to look at the whole thing, but I don't see anything wrong with that shot. If his swing line has been going consistently left of center for several holes and there's no room on the green left of the hole there's really nothing wrong about lining up where a straight shot might end up 15-20 feet right of the flag and a pull will end up at the pin. That's just managing the course and your miss tendency smartly.
If he was consistently making the swing line he did on that shot, I think there is no way he would have failed the Fair Play Metrics because it was not far enough left of center to be outside the blue zone he would have had without lofting. I see no evidence he intentionally tried to swing left so what is the problem with it?

Clearly the API said otherwise. Just seemed like every shot he plays the pull. It was well advertised that would be risky with new API metrics. 🤷🏼♂️
Hopefully 21 is better. See y’all then!

Only one colour that the number 14.5 (or more) is going to be in......and that's blue

-52 for me.
Apart from round two I played some decent stuff.
The putter was the difference this week with keeping up my run of top five finishes. My medium to long range putting was very poor all four rounds, I hardly remember making anything over 15 feet.
I enjoyed the course; a good mix of long and short par threes, fours and fives. The only two holes that I didn't really like were holes two and three.
almost...

Congrats James on the win, nice playing! Posted an early score and it held on, well done.
And if I'm pretty sure with this week's results, Vitaly has clinched the FedEx points crown. Nicely done, great season!
