Hi all, Not sure I'm sure supposed to do this but given that I've played my first two rounds, I thought I might as well start the thread this week. Started slow with a bogey and some pars but managed to get it to -6 for the first round in the end. Solid second round with some nice putts - I'm actually starting to like the putting after the phantom patch: -11 So, that's -17 halfway ( up mup kupen nup) and hopeful to maintain my 100% cuts made record. Oh, and I really liked the course and the conditions in the first two rounds... Best wishes and good luck all, Frans

Terrible again from me - missed cut, then -24 finish.
(Would comment on the multiple illegal pins (mostly in R4) - but what's the point - I'll only get told I'm wrong and clearly colourblind like last week)

(Would comment on the multiple illegal pins (mostly in R4) - but what's the point - I'll only get told I'm wrong and clearly colourblind like last week) Is the box the pin on in solid red? If not they're no longer illegal. Orange is ok. Calling things illegal (every week) when the 9 box rule no longer applies is going to get you more aggravated than needed. 9 box rule was a thing of 2019 and not 2k21. Maybe you just weren't aware of the change but hopefully this makes you understand going forward. If the 1 box is red then call it out.

I’ll be curious to see the comments this week.
This course seemed fairly benign in practice but I forgot we’d completely muck up settings to make it less desirable.
The 187s definitely made half the pins redline. Downhillers you basically had to fart on the ball. Sidehillers risked 3 putting. If you were lucky to be below the hole with the 3 yards fronting the domed greens, you could birdie those.
Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like the contouring in the fairways and around the greens never gave favorable bounces. You’d stripe a ball into fairway only for it to kick 45 degrees into the rough.
Made it home at -35 and have no idea if that’s good or bad. My guess is it could be decent as there are many bogeys looming for when you don’t hit the perfect shot. Too many silly pins a yard from red slope so can’t imagine those are birdies for half the field like any other week.

-16 at cut. Finished up -32. Could have been better if I hadn’t messed up on a par 5 on last round and took an 8!! Some dodgy pins for sure, one on the last round, whilst not illegal, was in my view almost impossible to get near and you were putting several feet uphill either way you went (guess it’s the same for everyone though). Been battling with my game a bit this past week, so happy enough with my score here. Onwards. Play well all.

R1: -9 with all pars on the par 5s and a holeout eagle from the fairway. R2: -1 with two water balls and yoinked left a 6 foot birdie putt on the last.
Hope -10 misses the cut by more than one shot because that choke job putt on hole #36 will haunt me.
Going -1 over 8 par 5s in two rounds isn't getting the job done.
Hole #6 was an adventure... eagle and double bogey for even through two rounds on the hole.

Well I came back from vacation and played 2 society rounds then tried this. Not sure if I made the cut at -11, maybe I should have practiced more but I got a busy week ahead. I was never really comfortable with anything. Putted terribly in the 8-12 ft range. Couldn't hit a wedge inside of 20 feet. Missed some wide ass fairways. I guess I kind of spread out the suckage in a way that isn't easy to fix without getting a lot of rounds under my belt. I need some time with the new mechanics and to relearn how to read putts, maybe next week will go better.

You know I don’t b%& about courses much but this course was the most boring course I’ve played on this game. There’s so many good courses out there that deserve a spot and this one is not it. Red slopes on almost every pin on day 4. The course looked like dog sh%$ looks like everything was auto generated planting just a blah course. By the way I shot -27 for the tournament so I’m not just b%&ing cause I played bad

😆 😆 First off as you all want it. Ive held back last couple of weeks but im getting sick of the lighting on these courses. You have loads of pins in orange and you cant see the lines when u zoom in. Like you said all these great courses and either the texture packages are shite or the lighting is fooked. The lay out wasnt to bad but the greens are 💩💩💩💩💩💩. Im leading the one putt and birdie conversion again but gir is woeful. Has the new scheduler been sleeping with tyler cos hes got the same hard on for slow fairways to lengthen a course. Like i said layout wasnt to bad and i hit it ok not great but ok! Was -32 thru 3 and started r4 feeling good. Was driving it well but aproaches were more grey fast than perfect. Then out of nowhere ive got 130 into a par 4 and red slow from nowhere goes in the water and front 9 got derailed. Managed to shoot level on the front with 4 birdies so nearly lost my 💩 Shot -7 on the back to get to -39.
Should be a top 10 as the course setup was wank!
If someone wants to use my ghost and count the amount of chips that were dead center and stopped 1 inch short that'd be great as i lost count at 10 and i was only half way thru rd3.
On the plus side game is getting alot better in patches then i boot up tgct and we have to play in stevie wonders back garden every week. My god i must of ran over a black cat or summat cos this 💩 is doing my nut already.
On a positive note im in a really good mood as the mighty aston villa won again so i thought id do my rounds tonight and even playing that bum hole of a setup wont piss me off too much 😆
Good luck all left to play and congrats last week steve ur shooting some good stuff. (I must be pissed) No, seriously congrats!!!!
Next week can week play a colin mafia course at night please!!!!!!
Peace out.
Up the villa!!!!!!

On 2nd thought, I might just tank to get to Elite since I'm gonna be there sooner or later anyways. That way I don't have have to read the crap in here. Silly me thought we could keep up how the first two weeks were going in these threads. It's not hard to send a Message with constructive feedback if you feel something could be done better. Why come on here and publicly trash people who do this on a voluntary basis? Does that really accomplish anything?
