Evangelist was absolute torture (I was humming along +17 thru 7 rounds and then shot 96 on Sunday!). I assume it was to see what everyone was truly made of. First timer here but this course seems much more playable and so far the scores are not wildly out of range. Should be great competition! Sitting at -3 thru 2 I wonder if they will scale up the wind/difficulty for R3R4

Not played since Sunday as I was waiting to see if I made the cut to play R4. What has happened to the putting ? It felt really heavy and unplayable.

HB have updated the putting, apparently, so that it seems to take more backswing to generate power. Completely threw me off at the start of round 3 and bogeyed the first two holes because of it, but hey ho, whatever. I'm sure once we get used to the new mechanism it'll be changed again!

Patch last Friday significantly helped my putting. I was getting the bug where sometimes in the beginning of my putting stroke, it would bug and reduce the power. Thus the power on nearly all my putts were inconsistent. It was brutal. It's finally fixed. My putting may suck at times, but at least it's consistent (the power) now.

My putting was fine on Sunday when I played 3 rounds but sluggish on Thursday when I went back for the final round.

Well, the Igloo proved too tough for me this week, carding a +4 and a +5 in my two rounds. A couple of bad holes, a few missed putts, and just an inability to capitalize when I was in position to score really doomed me.
I need a bit more practice, certainly. And a bit more confidence on the greens.
It was nice to be back out here among the tgctours crew, though!
good luck in the final rounds - i'd love to hear your exploits (and near misses!) -

i've started working on next week, using default course conditions. first two rounds have been +3 and +1. so i guess i'm moving in the right direction?!?

New week new course.
Narrow fairways led to level par thru 2 rounds.
Hopefully that’s enough to make the cut but who knows at this stage

+6 for me this week. After a +14 last week my aim was to keep it below +10 for the tournament so at least I'd be moving in the right direction. I managed that so not too much to complain about. No idea how those at the top are so consistent, but no point in comparing really. Small achievable goals is the key.
E +1 +4 +1

Had a bit of a revelation in terms of my controller this week that I kind of feel stupid about not having realised earlier. Basically, on another game that I play, I had an issue with the cursor on screen constantly moving to the left. For some reason, I'd just dismissed it as being a problem with the game itself rather than a controller issue, until I booted up another game and noticed the camera was moving left on that as well. Bingo, I thought - this is why my golf game has gotten so bad recently! Anyway, I dug out the first controller that I had shipped with the console (ironically, I'd ditched this because I thought a new controller might improve my golf game ) and the cursor issue disappeared. I immediately went on to the practice range and re-calibrated my swing (as if this might actually do something, I dunno...) and all of a sudden, there I am knocking drives straight down the middle instead of towards those deer that hang around waiting for snacks. Buoyed by this sudden improvement, I stepped onto the course expecting great things but.....no. It was back to square one again, playing military golf just like last week and scrambling constantly to end up at level par for the first round.....just like last week. Maybe it really is just a mental block after all.....!

No idea how those at the top are so consistent, but no point in comparing really. Small achievable goals is the key. E +1 +4 +1 So far I’m liking the tour set-up his season. As long as the top players get promoted, each tour should be fairly competitive. Lat season I was in low cc tours and top 10 scores were always -30 and better. Seemed really good players hung around in lower tours and dominated. Really ruined the game for me. Hopefully that can be avoided this season
