Figured I'd start ours off being as others are doing the same. Quite looking forward to this, last Q-School I got bumped down to this exact same level from PGA and to be honest it wasn't a lot of fun. Playing on Masters against a bunch of people playing on Pro was pretty dispiriting. Eventually made it to the KF Tour via a couple of promotions and one demotion and was very happy missing cuts there, but now I find myself back in C Cubed! But this time, we're all playing the same game. I think this is going to be fun So who do I see with me? Many new names (feel free to say hello!), but also many I recognise from almost 5 years playing these fantastic tours. My Xbox CUCC buddies Hootbleet and jonsey74, friend and good player from last year's KF Tour c6vette2010, some of our top designers (after Hootbleet obviously ) like CiB0RG and Griz891, a man never shy to talk about his rounds who's been here from the beginning warhawk137, a very good player who will surely be moving up sooner rather than later Daren Fairhurst, loads of names I recognise from the old RRCC days, too many to tag without leaving someone out! Good luck everyone, let's play some golf!

It should be fun Jamie. Good to see you in the “cubed”. Windstone is no pushover, so let’s get ready to rumble. Good luck to all in this division.

I am in this circuit to start my PGA 2K21 career. I was mostly around that CC C to E line for most of my first season until a tremendous performance in the Kegusta special event got me a spot in the European Tour but I was slightly overmatched in my first 2 events and the pandemic came and new games came around so I came back for PGA 2K21 and fought the uphill battle to improve to the point where I can usually play under par rounds more often than not in Master Swing difficulty.
Happy to be here. First round was pretty solid, yet had a disappointing finish (-5 but finished with a bogey on the Par-5 18th, ugh). We'll see what happens when I play my second round later today.
Best of luck to everyone!

Well here I am again. Ended last year in CCC, and landed here after Qschool. I think I am becoming the grizzled old timer of the CC Tours. Most my time on TGCTours has had me in the CC Tours. CCC, (22 events) B (26) and A (42) D (30) and a little time In Web/Korn/Whatever (20'ish) but I always end up back here. Going on nearly 6 years. Funny thing after my final two rounds last week I was worried I wouldn't even get a card, then they added new tours for CC and thought ok I'll get into CCL at least. Didn't expect to end up in CCC. So I guess I'm back home again.
Haven't played my rounds yet, going to in a little while. Not quite feeling into to it today but hope to get into some sort a groove after a warmup round and multiple rage restarts.
Welcome new comers and old comers and everyone else. Good luck with your rounds.

Hello TimB.
Us journeyman do get around. Lol. And thanks for your contributions as a ranger (with a view towards us CC level folks.) Keep those pesky designers in line buddy.

Just a FYI for us cubers. Did you know the first four events have been posted? For your practice delight:
Windstone ( we know about)
Wk2 - Ayrshire Gailes. Tour
Wk3 - Tasoto Golf Club
Wk4 - Cardinal Pines Golf Club
For any new folks to TgcTours, Doyley publishes a weekly weather report for the current and next week. You can find it in the forums. It gives pin sets and conditions you will encounter.
Cheers, Bill

Journeymen united! That made me interested to see where I've been: PGA/Platinum 54 events Euro/Elite 52 Web/KF/Kinetic 46 CCA 21 CCB 3 CCC 18 CCD 1 CCE 1 That's a lot of events! I don't expect to ever be adding to those 54 events at the top, the game has changed for us on Xbox plus there's a lot more competition about these days. Those CC events mainly came from season 5, and KF last season. That's my long term goal, I'd like to get back there again. For now though, quite happy here

Hi all,
Happy to be amongst you. European Tour player ( a mediocre one) in previous game with my TGCT career highlights being a win on a USPGA qualifying event in TGC2 and a 5th place in the Masters on True Sim in TGC19.
Q school for me was a funny disaster. -15 after 3 in first qualifying event and on course for Elite only to shoot a sloppy even par in Round 4 and then had a (under the influence) disaster in Evangelist which saw me freefall to -1 total and CCC.
I agree with Giraffe that, as we are all now playing on the same difficulty (no pro/master discrepancy), this should be more interesting.
Hoping to enjoy some competitive times in CCC good luck to all.

Glad to be a cuber and to see many familiar names here to compete against! Spoiler time! I was eager to get started last night so I played my first two rounds at Windstone. I noticed that ALL of the CC flights have the same schedule now so I expected easy conditions out of the gate but it played rather tough with the wind. R1:(-1) I strolled past the clubhouse confidently through 9 holes bogey free and 3 under par... I held it together until hole 13, my first bogey, the upset playa in me came right back with a birdie on 14, take that Windstone! Then I missed the greens on holes 15 and 16 and bogey'd those two as well. I took par on 17 and 18 and crawled back into the locker room with a score of -1. Not my finest performance. R2:(-6) This one got off to a scary start. I took a bogey on the first 2 holes and thought I was dead. A birdie on the 3rd gave me some hope. The rest of the round was a back and forth battle with the course but a pair of Eagles on the back nine got me down to -6 for the round. Through 2 rounds I sit at -7. If I'm not mistaken we now have cuts on every flight so I guess all I can do is sit back and see if that's going to be good enough to make it or else I will be packing my bags early. It's hard to say until more scores come in but there have already been some impressive R1 scores posted... if numbers like that keep rolling in I will surely miss the weekend.

G'day all. Fought my way from CC-B to PGA in TGC2019 where I was starting to hold my own (i.e. make cuts) before 2K21 arrived. Was a TST regular and managed my one and only official TGCT trophy at the Canadian Open last season. Also graced the USE circuit. Left it late to pick up the new game but just managed to scrape in the 8 rounds. My +5 total had an 80 in there and a 64 so all over the place thanks to the tempo changes....no more throwing darts "TGC2019 style". Looking forward to the "Cubed" Challenge. Cheers

Tim, is that a Grit Laskin? Yes. Nice catch. Surprised to have someone recognize it. Had it since 1984. Technically the only owner of it. It sat in a glass case in Toronto in a guitar shop where a buddy (flipping guitars was his thing, vintage strats mainly) bought it from. He bought the two that were there. Mine has no inlay, it's sister (both made in 1980) had a really cool inlay of a old willow type tree catching a baby falling.

Back to the golf
All 4 rounds done.
No major blowups. Was on the par train for much of Rounds 2,3 and 4. with an occasional bogey thrown in there.
Was hoping to have a great inaugural tournament for Season 7 (?) but was mediocre at best. No blow up holes so thats a plus I guess.
68 71 69 69
-11 total.
Good luck to those who have yet to play. It's not overly difficult, some wind here and there but course is quite manageable.
