Well crap. A +2 in the final was disappointing? Putter went south and stayed there. Next week.

Nothing to add about the current tournament. Just waiting till the end of the week to see where I finally land. Right now, same as last year, middle of the pack, missing promotion marks, dodging demotion marks.
However. Did a practice round (s) on next weeks course and this happened.
My 1'st hole out after 132 hours play time. So overjoyed I just had to share lol
For some reason after a couple rounds I'm losing sound when I capture video. Works ok for a while then nothing.
Need to change my career name. Picked that when I 1'st started but should change it to my tour name now.

Sweet shot TimB! I really love the replays in this game from those different camera angles, they did a great job with that. I haven't played it yet but next week's course looks like my cup of tea as well 👍

First impressions are that a tougher challenge awaits, certainly off the tee anyway as the fairways are not as generous as Windstone.

Still shook by the four putts early that kept me from a top 15-20 finish. Such is life in the Cube. #PlayBetter

Btw guys...shameless plug here...but if you're looking for a course to play/practice on, I'd be happy to see 'Albedo' get a few plays. Only my 2nd design but I think it's a decent one and certainly better than the pathetic no. of plays it has gotten so far on 2K21! It was originally released on '19 mid August just before '21 arrived. Ported over long ago. It's an approved course too.

The number of plays you're seeing on your game are only from people on your console (presumably Xbox). Unless this was changed in the latest patch, it is my understanding that play counts are now console specific instead of counting across all consoles like TGC19 did.

Finally completed my weekend rounds. -6, -3 for a finish at -16 overall. That should get me within the top 25 which I'm thrilled with!
I have to say I'm disappointed with my putting. So many times this tournament I 3 and even 4 putted from inside 20ft. Those hurt so bad knowing I could have saved so many strokes by simply 2 putting. I'm hoping with more practice I can cut down on those. My distance control really needs some love.

My final round, which I played on Friday, was just awful. I was even par after 12 and then unraveled to finish with a 4-over 76 that dropped me from battling for a top 15 position and a promo mark to finish mid-pack (-9 for the tourney).
Everything went awry.

I played my first 2 rounds for week 2. Not good. Let's just say it was a classic case of an ice cold putter and a course that didn't do me any favors. Nothing against the course but I just couldn't get any lucky breaks. +1 after 2... that very likely won't make the cut. Try again next week!

Well, -3 made it this week and if this course is more difficult?...

This is either a fun exercise or extremely depressing. Take you final score for the tourney and go see how you fared across each CC division. What makes it a fair comparison is we’re all playing the same course, conditions, and same difficulty settings. Typical result: “Man, if only I would have been in CC - ?, I would have killed it.” Ha ha.

I would have made the cut in every level below ours this week, which hopefully means I've landed in the right place!

I was hoping to play my rounds today but bad omens tell me not to. Yesterday I totally lost my swing. Nearly every shot a red very fast. Finally just packed it in.
Today, internet it being a real pain in the ass. Router has rebooted itself 4 times since 6 am. Kind of a thing with this provider, go long stretches no problems then one day it acts up.
And the old lady down the street will be knitting too loudly and that always distracts me.
Hopefully later my internet will stop being a b%&, then I can see if I can swing again and the old lady should have fallen asleep.
I'll reserve these excuses for later in case I have a bad blowup round (s)
