Enjoyed all the courses I played this week. Didn’t score great on most but they kept me entertained all the way. The Elite course especially was very cleverly done. (And I’m not just saying that because we are being watched, if I enjoy a course I’m perfectly happy to own up to it). I thought the Kinetic course was poor this week so I avoided playing it, I don’t care if they’re watching I say it as I see it. That Kinetic course was a CC course from last season. It took about the 4th hole before I started to remember the course. I then looked it up and I was correct. And I got the same exact score as I did in last years CC round 1 on that course, lol.

I found a couple of stray Bulldogs roaming around the course.
Very poor back 9, the putts wouldn't find the bloody hole.

Bloody Mary Cup
Congrats on the win, Thomas.
Your short game around the greens was on fire, every time I thought I had a chance to gain a stroke, you would chip or putt in from off the green.
Well played Sir and good luck for the rest of the cup.
P.S. the green on hole 13 was a tough challenge, if you were long or short or left or right, there was not a hope in hell of stopping the ball from rolling down to the front of the green.

Probably poor was the wrong word I felt it didn’t suit me so I didn’t play I didn’t like the mix of really open holes where you had fairway stretching around three or four holes and some tight fairways especially at my driver landing zones. Edit: exactly as you’ve said it peoples opinions differ Have you given the Elite course a spin this week, Les? Personally my favourite out of the three. No I’ve not bothered

I just wish we could get some tree lined courses for a change where accuracy not length comes to the fore. My clubs are setup to get tempo as high as possible so I never do particularly well on long courses especially if the par threes are over 200 yds, my four iron which is the longest iron in my bag carries 195 yds. I don’t use hybrids because its the same swing as the irons and you get no lie benefit from the rough with them and I don’t feel they stop any faster than a long iron. If anyone has any data that shows otherwise I would be interested.

If anyone has any data that shows otherwise I would be interested. Can’t help with the hybrids. But… I’m set up to have swing pathway/tempo in the 90s and my 4 iron carries 207 I think and then with back spin and a boost it carries further, 211-215 I think. Might be worth fiddling with your fittings to boost a bit of length without too much penalty?

Art VandelayPub Round 3 was a complete disaster through 6 holes. Then I woke up and went (-11) through the last 12 holes, lol Rd 4 I was rushing a bit before work and thought my good fortunes from Rd3 would carry over but that was not the case. I didn’t have anything left in the tank. 😡

Anyone else, especially on PC, unable to connect in-game?
The missus has planned a date afternoon/evening for us tomorrow, so I figured I'd finish up my rounds today.
I suppose I may as well have a few beverages and hope this resolves itself.

PC was slow for me this morning too. Got me on a couple putts as well. Hopefully the servers are addressed before too long.
