Just bought the game this morning and did the tutorials and a practice round before qualifying. Had a crappy patch mid Rd1 and ended up +8 for the round but improved for +8 after 4 rounds. Incl a hole in one in Rd 2. Have to sort out my 9 iron to PW distance gap and mid-long range putting. Very respectable score if you only had one practice round and went straight into the Quali Event!

Finished -22
Very happy overall, lots of progress in last few weeks and aim for Kinetic Tour is on track. Only frustrating thing was could have been better if cut out the bogies. Quite a few rounds I was shooting -9ish but bogies knocked me down.
Still, very much progress.
Not had a good time on Evangelist so need to step up.

I finished Qual #1 last night, and I was a bit disappointed considering the relatively benign conditions. Adequate on the front side, and then a bunch of "45° Fasts" (where the line on the meter is about 45° left of vertical) as opposed to the 5° slows I normally get. Even after 3-4 good practice swings the real swing would be a 45° fast; it was not a problem with the game I think, I could kind of tell the swing was fast.
In any event, -3 for the round -26 for the tourney so all much better than I was shooting for going in. Now for Evangelist!

Finished up my first 4. Went +3, -1, +1, E for +3 total. Had a goal of +10 so fairly happy, but like so many left a bazillion putts out there. Being new to the community I have never played on such difficult settings, but have come to really enjoy them believe it or not. Was going to just go to the Ted Cup League but after practicing and playing, the qualifier, I really hope I hang on for a card. I am going to set my goal on Evangelist as +10 as well.
What are some of your guys strategy for next week? I have been playing practice rounds from super conservative to recklessly aggressive trying to figure out my approach. Just curious to hear from everyone. GL to all and save a card for me!

Finished up -17. Didn’t get as much practice in before and could tell I was improving. Four rounds went -2 -2 -4 -9. Hopefully trend continues to next week!
I’m 333 right now, anyone know the breakout of qualifying places? I would assume that puts me upper end of kinetic. But just curious the full breakdown and can’t seem to find it anywhere.

150 spots in each of the 3 Pro Tours - so you are indeed upper end of Kinetic

Just curious to hear from everyone. GL to all and save a card for me! That's going to put you in a healthy position, nice shooting. For me next week it's about playing each hole on merit, one at a time. If I've got any 50/50 shots I'll be playing the safe option. And I will definitely not be swinging slow on my approach to 14! The course will take shots, my plan is not to add to that by giving silly ones away.

+2 for me across the four rounds which was pretty disappointing as I started to get a lot of perfects with my swing after figuring it out during round 1 but had a disaster round 4. Started even, then followed with a +2. Round 3 was a -7 which was easily my best round on the new game so far. Finished with a +7 in round 4 where I couldn't seem to get my swing going at all, kept getting perfects in practice swings then slows on my actual swing, and my putting was terrible, frustrating to say the least haha.
But overall compared to a couple of weeks ago I'm in a far better spot with the game, and given I shot a one good round I know I can do it, just need the consistency. Guessing I end up on the Challenge Circuit when it's all said and done, but hopefuly can work my way back up to whatever is the equivalent of the Korn Ferry/Web now.

I'm glad we have four more rounds to play. It does not feel good sitting at the 150 cutline waiting for someone to play and knock ya off, which with 7 hours you know is going to happen.

Imagine sitting in 1450th! You've got it easy! I genuinely don't care which card I get, I just want a card. Got about a 15 shot cushion so I should be ok barring a major disaster. I'm honestly very glad to not be on the bubble.

Had a good practise today and played okay. Wasn't playing for score, just learning some holes that have tripped me up.
