How come the wind speed is showing? Thought it was set up like the old times?

Shot -23 on the Xbox. 2nd place down there at -19. Wish the PC players didn't have the easy way out. But -23 for the first qualifying event after shooting +17 in the first exhibition tournament. I'll take it and run. Not sure what the easy way out is, but only 4 of the top 13 so far in round 1 are PC. The rest are PS4. No change there then, normal service resumed.

I have to self report a DQ. I just now read:
Acceptable Shots on Green
[*]Putter must be used on the green unless your putting line is obstructed by fringe/rough/bunker or your putt is longer than 75 feet, in which case use of a putter is not mandatory.
Mine was exactly at 75 feet.
I think if it says 75 feet then it is actually slightly over 75 so I would vote no infraction as well. But I would have putted just to avoid the stress of not being sure Agreed. I also took it as 75 or more feet just when hearing about the rule. Definitely don't think you should be DQd

Looks like there will he a gap on consoles by the sounds of things.
Best I've hit on xbox is -4, so no way will be hitting -20, will need to play out of my skin!!
I had hoped on Kinetic but think CC will be level now.

All you guys complaining at double digit minus scores make me laugh. There are people out here really struggling to put food on the table.
Go out there like me and shoot +4, +5, +5, +2 to finish up at +16, then come back and tell me how hard life is.

See the low scores.....set the new target......hit a lovely approach to 5ft at the 1st........and have to make a 4 footer for my third putt for bogey!! Great start!!! Putting woes continued throughout - chucked in about 7/8 bogeys all through utterly stupid 3 putts......and holed nothing at all until a nice 20ft curler for eagle at the 72nd.......just hit it pretty close a lot! So happy overall to fight through that with -37, for 3rd place on PC at the moment. Nice shooting at -46 for the leader, Loveskud (who I would tag but the forum can't find his username for some reason)

Hmmm, interesting to see a few real numbers coming through. I'm not on it yet, but it's nice to see a fresh leaderboard on a Sunday morning!
Already 2100+ players registered which will only rise, for 1450 tour cards. However, there's bound to be a good percentage of DNFs because there always is. But still, looking like there will be a cut line to get a card....
Yes there's some big scoring at the top from the usual suspects. But they've always done that and there's also a good few historically top players in the -5/-6 range. Only about a third of the field is under par. To be honest I couldn't care less what the top boys (and girls) are shooting because I won't be playing against them! The scoring for us norms is looking very promising.
Going by the current scoring, knowing that more will register but also a load will drop out, estimating that two thirds of players will earn a card somewhere (in reality I'd guess it will actually be higher than that). Current cut line for CCG would be in the region of +4 for the first round.*
*Subject to change. A lot.

Good informative post Giraffe.
You are right, Iβm just gonna play my own game, I know I will struggle so Iβm going to play for Pars. Sounds boring but itβs a different approach that I think will genuinely relieve the stress.

Sounds boring but itβs a different approach that I think will genuinely relieve the stress. Pars are good! Most of us are in the same boat. The Challenge Circuit wasn't a lot of fun in the last game because of the different skill levels being used. It holds no such problems this time, I just want a card!

Dove straight in after not touching the game for about a week, no practice rounds as they're for wimps ππ and started with 2 bogies in the first 3 holes ππ managed to get back to level par thru 9 then had a 5 birdie 1 bogey back 9 for a -4 start. Eagles were there to be had but I can't putt on this version of the game so I didn't have any ππ

Was addicted to TGC19 but this is the first time I've ever entered one of these. -22 in total so pretty happy with that. Missed an albatross by a fraction on the 72nd which would've been nice.

-32 for me
I know, I know, not supposed to complain about that... but Iβm going to anyway!!! πππ
3 solid rounds ruined by a dreadful third round with a triple and a double bogey, all due to dumb putting and rushing too much; something you canβt do in the new game - not me at least
Did have my first albatross though!! πππ

-13. Missed a few eagles by a hair, need to practice putting in this game. It's a horrible feeling being faced with a 6 footer and not being confident of getting the bugger.

Well second round was a rollercoaster!! 3 double bogies, 2 long chip-ins for eagles and 6 birdies equals another -4 round so 8 under thru 2 rounds... Nailed some unbelievable putts for me but also 4 putted one hole ππ
