What happened? I was off the cut yesterday and in again now? The line has been moved ?

Decided to give Q-school a shot last week and ended up here. Hadn't played a round at master difficulty since the weekend the game came out so I'm more than a little rusty using TGCT settings. Probably should have ended up 3 or 4 tiers higher than this but I had one massive stinker of a round that totally ruined the whole week. If I adjust to master quickly and eliminate +19 rounds from my game I apologize in advance if I start finishing too well for this level. If I don't adjust quickly or at all then I'll enjoy hanging out down here.

Never mind. I'm no threat as I can't seem to decide if I just need to figure things out or I'm just plain bad. Finished round 1 with a solid +9 through the first 9 holes and then a -1 on the last 9. There were some flashes of decent golf in there but a lot of really, really ugly golf to offset that.

Early nightmare this week (the dark dawn mood of the 1st round didn't help). Was at +10 after 5 holes (two triples one quadruple) then kept this score until the cut which I sincerely want to miss this week.

I didn't improve much in round 2 so I should be done for the week. Can't seem to hit a tee shot that doesn't start heading right and then either curve back to the fairway if I'm fast, stay right if I'm perfect, or go further right if I'm slow. Somewhat annoying to have a tee shot that was nearly straight in the centre of the rectangle with perfect timing head a good 30 degrees right of centre and easily miss the fairway. Hopefully next week I'll be playing on a PS5 and that'll change things.

Missed the cut comfortably. Will not be playing the final two rounds "for fun".

Got a practice run in pro mode : the final holes are unplayable for me in masters mode, so I guess for another cut missed. I do not really desire to play so I may turn to the Beer league soon.

Hopeful to have a PS5 get delivered sometime today, so I'm going to hold off on playing my rounds until it arrives.

Just played round 1 on PS5. Went right in without any practice as usual. My driving and putting lines were much straighter than on the PS4 but it’ll take a bit to find the sweet spot and get the timing right. Ended up with a +6 and that was with finding a lot of water. Score isn’t great but it felt like I played way better than I did last week.

Just played my first two rounds this week. Wasn't a huge fan of the course this week, especially the back 9. Didn't feel like there was a ton of room for scrambling, which I'd say is the strength of my game. Any miss seemed like it was down into the water. +8 through two, so hoping to make the cut but not counting on it at this point.

It wasn’t usually pretty and I scrambled a few pars that I had no right to get, but I only hit water once and finished round 2 even par with two birdies and two bogeys. Not great but a big improvement over round 1 and leaves me +6 at the cut.

I wasn't too keen to comment my first round score after what I posted earlier in this thread, but the second round wiped off this shame as I posted a nice 11 on the second round hole 2 after a bogey at #1. Well, apart from that, I only lost 2 shots on the final four holes for the two rounds and I'm at -2 at the turn which is quite surprising for me.

Made the cut, so I guess I’ve got some more work to do still this week.

3rd round was promising as I start to adjust to the new controller. Still made a few mistakes that cost me and had one go in the water, but I finished the round with a -4 to move up to +2 for the week. After a +15 at the cut last week and +6 for the first round this week I’m certainly seeing signs of rounding back into form.

4th round was just all over the place. Trading bogeys and birdies but always staying within a stroke or two of par for the round. A late run of birdies was ruined by a slow tee shot on 18(the only slow shot I had all round) which went well out of bounds to the right. Double bogey dropped me to +1 for the round and finished +3. Not great but a start.
