Just finished up my fourth and final round and +8 for the four rounds. First round +5 Second round +3 Third round +2 Fourth round -2 I should be happy as at least the scoring improved slightly and it was only really putting that let me down and finished front nine of the last round -4 but then dropped a silly couple of shots. Not great but certainly better than Q school and more confident tea to green but short game and putting need practise on. Hope everyone else is doing well and good luck if your still out there playing 👍 Congrats!! I didn’t make the cut (after a bad second round) but played out for a +4 and +5 (+23 total) for 3 consistent rounds. I’ll take consistency, now need steady improvement! For those who don’t make the cut, you can still play 3 and 4. The results will show up on your scorecards section.

You can tell who the sandbagging a##!0#ls are... +76 for 8 rounds then all of a sudden, magically -20 for 4... OK? People like that should be banned. @!$# em

People like that should be banned. @!$# em Don't completely disagree, but I was a total beginner (have not played since early TW days) but I improved 77 strokes (qualifying 8 rounds vs these 4 rounds - although I missed the cut, so you will have to look in game to see R3/4). I think XBOX had a similar improvement. If we can do that (combination of course being easier and more practice), it is not impossible to improve 96 (albeit unlikely).

Very strange....

But you missed the cut instead of being in 1st place with -20, everyone improves over time, or at least that should be the goal. I'm talking about going from +10 consistently every single round in qualifying, to -5 every round? That is highly improbable. Some people just want to sandbag and win a tournament so they think they are good. They aren't. -20 wouldn't cut it in the tour they should belong in so they play qualifying bad on purpose to get a lower tour. Anyone who wins this week should move up 3-4 flights in my opinion.

Since I had no chance of finishing near the top, doesn't bother me at all.

How is everyone doing on the new course this week? I’ve had a quick practice round and those fairways are so tight and praying I can get the tempo right. I won’t start my rounds till tomorrow as just flying from Moscow where I work back home to sunny England and it will be interesting to see if the game plays any different on my Xbox One X as in Moscow I have the S. The things we do to play this game and I travelled with my new elite controller in my hand luggage 😄 Good luck to everyone this week 👍

My first sub-par round in TGC! Pretty happy with R1 at -1. Putting is starting to come in a bit, but still plenty of room to work on it. I am just barely missing most now, so at least I am giving myself a chance.
Safe travels John!

Just arrived safely in the UK and already downloading all my Xbox updates before I even unpack 😄

Hey guys!
I accidentally made it in here!
I truly am one of the worst golfers on this tour. Seriously. I mean, when the special events are played, and the field is 3000, I am usually around 2990. But I enjoy playing.
My current woes are putting. I have no trouble with the tempo now with 2K21, I can hit the green in regulation or 3 shots, but then I putt 4-5 times. If I can figure that out, I might start moving up.
But until then...
This week, I honestly didn't think I made it out of Q school. I had thought I had done badly enough in Qschool 3 that I wouldn't get a card. So yesterday I played round 1, and after starting horribly, I started trying some things, figuring I was going to end up in Q school 4, so may as well treat it as a practice week. I ended up something like +17. Then this morning I see the email that I did get a card and am in CC-L.
hahah, oh well, I figure I'll be at the bottom my first week and try harder to clear the inevitable red marks next week. Good luck all, and happy to be here with you!

Congrats on getting a card Josia, welcome! Many of us struggle here but many of us are also seeing steady improvement, so just keep playing!

Just played my first round and was a little unsure how it would go playing on a different Xbox and smaller tv but sat right close and not like home on a 65” tv far away on the sofa but overall very pleased. I finished -3 and stood on the 17th I was -5 but had two stupid bogies on the last two holes and I just left myself a couple of difficult putts and it was a pity as the leader after 1rd so far is -6. Anyway can’t complain and pleased as punch to be fair as the fairways are very tight but I managed to hit quite straight of the tee and many of the approach shots. Looking back now being sat right in front of the tv like you would if playing on pc and monitor I think helps me so might have to change my setup when back in Moscow. I’m here in UK for a few weeks so let’s see first and maybe it was just a flash in the pan )) Good luck all and keep those good scores coming and I didn’t let you down Scott 😜 Hope you keep up the good scores!

After following your trials and tribulations in Q-School it's great to see the likes of xboxjonnyuk and Blade making such good progress! Tell you what John, I haven't teed off yet but I was just looking at the CC-C leaderboard thinking I'd be happy with -3 to start....
Nice work fellas, you are going to be moving upwards sooner rather than later!

Nice work fellas, you are going to be moving upwards sooner rather than later! Yeah it was a bit of a rock and roller start for me to be fair especially in Q school and to be honest I was expecting too much as I’d had over a year break and then come back in to be greeted with this new game and master settings )) But I agree it’s starting to get better and thanks a lot Jamie! Nice to hear. It is nice to see a few of us improving down here at the bottom and we will all spur each other along as you are and hopefully we can move up soon 👍 Agreed about the -3 and it does seem that would be sitting kind in some of the other divisions. You are right about the last two holes though and be careful as they tripped me up. Best of luck matey when you play 👍
