No we havent. I was hoping they might have a tiny interest in reading posts on their site and this, probably very optimistic of me/you/us.

Did someone saw the "Machine" Sweeney around here ? No just an outdated 1 mate

-12, -7, -11, -7... had a chance going into R4 1 back of Tyler but parred the 1st 4 and left a mountain to climb.
Easy set up with the winds and receptive nature of the terrain, but happy to get it round without major disasters. Just a few stupid mistakes with the putter.

Thanks for the responses guys, it confirmed much of what I had expected.
So, to me, playing for a fast was the obvious option on day 1 just so I could hit a damn fairway. As I began to get more and more perfect tempo's, it started to feel a bit...hokey?...to purposefully play for something intended as a miss in the game. I don't say this to call out guys playing like that, because I completely understand the strategy in doing so, and don't even really disagree with the argument that fast tempo was built as a strategic element in the game (within reason, not like the super slow chips from 19). Playing a fast on purpose with a wild push just feels...I don't know the best way to explain it without seeming like I'm calling people out, because I am 100% not trying to do that, it just kind of feels wrong. That said, since it's something that everyone seems to have embraced without a second thought, I guess my gut feeling of "intent of the game" type of stuff is not in line with the consensus opinion, so I'll just go back to trying to improve in my play with that fast method. Please, please...please don't misread my intent in this paragraph, wasn't sure whether to post but thought we can all be reasonable enough to just talk about things without automatically assuming someone is attacking someone else or calling them a cheat/exploiter/etc.
The question about the haptics on putting comes straight from a match KenTremendous and I played yesterday. After telling him how to turn the rumble on, it maybe took him 2 putts to seemingly perfect an incredibly slow backswing, then just simply pushing up once the slight rumble feel come through the controller. It honestly was silly how easy it made his distance control, save one or two misfires. After watching that, I personally believe that haptic feedback should be turned off for tour play, but there's also zero way to enforce that since it's a controller setting, so that's just a personal opinion.
Thanks again for the comments, really cool to see guys willing to share strategy in the new game, appreciate the openness - and again, please don't take my commentary as a condemnation, just explaining the rationale for my questions more than anything. Cheers fellas, keep up the great play.
I'm hoping that HB will offer it as an ability to turn off. If they are using it, they have the ability to turn if off if they want, it is just whether they will take the time to do it. Other option is just to turn on the meter, maybe move it to legendary with the meter on. I've been playing for the perfect and am happy to be just in the grey, which I can do pretty well. Looking at the thread, I think there is something to the fact of playing for the fast swing. This isn't a new thing. When tempo first came out and the Slows were taking 20-30 yards of an approach, there were a lot of us playing less club and going for the fast swing. Why? It was safer.
I never felt that this was an exploit because on the real golf course, I have a natural fade that I work into my game around most shots. This is just working in a natural draw. The Devs won't care because you can play this game however you want and everyone might play it differently from one another.
I'm on a mouse and don't have the haptic feedback and can hit perfects, so I think that was something you misread/misremembered.

-6 through 33 holes I find this game impossible to play using the finger and thumb method that I've used for 6 years. From tee to green I can get some sort of rhythm going at times, not often, but on the greens it's a complete nightmare. I can just about hit a put in the 20-30% range if I ninja flick the stick back and forth (you can't slow swing it using finger and thumb, at least the way that I have to hold the controller anyway), but usually I will go past that range and the ball will fly 10 feet or more past the hole, even if it is only a couple of percent. An awful system, thought up by a bunch of non-golfers over in Nova Scotia. What we have is a game that has literally no feel at all, just twitch golf at 1000 miles per hour. Very disappointed that it has come to this; I'm trying to learn it, but I just can't enjoy the game at all. It just feels awful to me, there is no flow to the swing, it feels nothing like a golf swing or any golf game that I have ever played. I've probably played 30 or so rounds so far? I've had one round at -10, then anything from there to +8. It's not like I'm improving either; one day I can hit it OK and I'm struggling to get a fast, the next day with exactly the same feeling swing I'm struggling to get a slow and everything is fast.

-25 for the event. Probably had 10 or 12 stupid bogies on short putts where I had a palsy moment. It was fun I guess but disappointed in the low scores being shot by the leaders.
Now if you want a fun and challenging event I hope you didn’t miss this weeks elite tournament. Now that was fun. I shot +5 for that event and it felt like an accomplishment.

My feeling is course difficulty and length will be a massive factor in scoring now. Played Bethpage yesterday (-2) and Conservatory Club today (-3) and felt stoked with those scores.

An awful system,
Sorry brad I disagree with the putting comment! Ive layed finger and thumb for years and i think the putting mechanic is a serious upgrade on previous models and i putted the hell out of the last 2 tbh. The greens read so much truer and if you hit the line you want it will track and hold its line. If you miss you know where youve messed up. I take it back slow as i can and try to repeat this tempo on all putts. If its a 90ft ill change the camera angle to give me a better visual of the backswing ive gotta hit. Using the finger and thumb you get less haptic feedback as your thumb is not on the top of the stick. Its fainter but its still there. My misses are mainly inches short or marginally underhit but still on a good line so im happy with that atm. Its on me and that consistency will come the more i play it. The swing mechanic on the other hand is beast mode! If you swing it slow the margin for error is miniscule ive found as if you ramp it up a few % its big fast and vice versa for being lazy with it. Ive found if you stick to a tempo very similar to 95% tgc2019 swing and repeat it. Its the way to go on full swings. Pitches flops and splash shots all have different tempos to hit perfect aswell but they do in real life. If you dont accelerate fast enough thru a bunker shot its got slow written on it all day. I played a couple of rounds on the fenyard keep event last night and r2 was a -4 which i felt disapointed with as made a double on a par 5 trying to tin cup it and a couple more stupid bogies. All of my own doing Then im 4/5 under thru 14 in r3 which i also made some really stupid mistakes mainly on the short holes or par 5s. I still hit the bomb or go for the par 5 in 2 and i know its the wrong shot. Your better off leaving yourself a comfortable yardage and pinging it in close. Im still miles away from where i know i can get scoring wise but its coming the more i play. My biggest gripe is the gapping on the clubs you have to use to get more forgiveness and my golf bag looks like a cheap second hand set atm. Ive got more odd irons than katie price has had husbands. We'll get there tho the game is only a week old. Im hoping some of the irons get a buff. To make them more inkeeping with a truer yardage but thats my main gripe so far. How can some sets only have 7/8 yrds between the longer irons is beyond me. Yet the wedges have 14-16. Over the same 4° of loft. Its only a small observation but hope they get tweaked to be more uniformed but i doubt it. They are non golfers from novia scotia after all 😁

Yeah I hope people don't take this event as it being the scores will always be this way.
Firm greens make this game extremely difficult to score well as well as length.
The course from this event was short with soft greens and the short game is just so easy that there were birdies everywhere. Also most pins are in bowls.
Any course with firmer greens or pins well guarded will be difficult right now.
