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! 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. is that the one with that stupid out of bounds right next to the green? I hit a shot into it unknowingly in a practice round and thought I'll just chip up onto the green, then this thing pops up saying it's OOB. I thought wtf 😳

With regard to Evangelist 2-4-22, I have played it a number of times in the past, and I just played a round on white tees pin all default. It seems to me that IF (a big if I know) you can keep the ball out of the many, many water hazards it is reasonable to get pars, birdies are tougher. If you worry about missing, try to miss into the sand, it is the least penal except for light rough. It is my feeling that except for those top 100 players the scores are going to be higher on Evangelist than Whiskey.
Hit'em well fellahs!

Played all 4 at rapid speed,thought Sunday was the deadline. 66-66-69-64 for 23 under at the finish. Probably left a dozen putts on the lip but what the hell! Enjoyed the challenge and fairly happy with the score even though it's miles off the top. Played it the right way too,trying for perfects everytime. None of that game breaking fast crap from me! Also no wind clicking or putting systems, just old fashioned effort.

I thought wtf 😳 thefriedegg.com/road-template-hole/Get the idea, execution is another thing. Road Hole has the boundary of the golf course behind it so you’re well aware it’s OB. Having random OB stakes next to a green that is well within the boundaries of the golf course is another thing.

Having random OB stakes next to a green that is well within the boundaries of the golf course is another thing. Agreed there. There are some holes on this course that really frustrate me (and not just because i can't make a good score!). 14 is definitely one of them. 8 and 11 as well. And I don't even want to get started on the bunkers in the middle of the 20 yard wide fairway 300 yards off the tee on 475 yd+ holes...

Ok so in all my practice rounds on Evangelist I never did better than -2.
Just played the first round of the tourney and shot a -8! I was minus -6 through 7 holes. I eagled hole 5 and had a bogey free round. Practicing from the Gold tees all week and then playing from the whites in the tourney definitely improved my scores lol.
Gonna chill and crack a beer before I start round 2.

Honestly just hoping to stay there haha.

Has the 1st qualifier event ended? I thought it was 8p eastern, but could be wrong. I'm seeing quite a few people with rds not posted. Is that the leaderboard waiting to pull/update scores or did they miss the deadline? Just curious.

Its 9pm eastern time now so I see the second event active on ps4. The people without rounds posted probably didn't finish. I think the admin will DQ them all when the site updates for week 2.

I somehow shot a one under on the first round of evangelist and my swing was locked in. Started up round 2 in rythm and on my Front 9 I was 3 under.
And then... utter collapse. Had three bogeys, a double bogey and a triple bogey on the back 9. Shot +4 for the second round.
+3 for Evangelist through 2 and +5 through 6 rounds of qualifying. Dont get me wrong I'm very pleased but I really should have scored much better on Evangelist so far. I'm well on track to qualify for CC which is fantastic. But I'm really disappointed with a terrible last few holes where my swing simply escaped me. I was hitting shots way worse than I have since I got the game in the first place.
Gonna need to shake that off and dig deep because I know I'm capable of really grabbing this course by its horns. I just havent yet...

Just jumped in for my first round at Evangelist. Started with a 4 putt double, but got it to -3 with a few other missed birdies. Then finished with another 4 putt double on the last to finally end up even.
In the end I told myself I should be shoot with even. I think if I can do that for 4 rounds I'll be able to qualify but it really hurt to give up some dumb shots
