First round just now was the best -11 I've ever shot, and I'll tell you why.
Missed a good birdie chance on the 1st. No problem, I thought; there's plenty of time to make up for it. Then I had an out-of-the-blue very slow off the 4th tee that barely went 3/4 of the distance. Somehow I made par, though.
Things improved, and I was stood on the par 5 9th tee at -7. I hit a perfect teeshot, leaving a perfect 5 wood for my second shot. The lake was about 15 or so yards in front of me. Due to the biggest frame skip I have ever seen, my shot carried all of 10 yards into the lake and I nearly vomited. Brain totally frazzled, I made a double to be only out in -5. "Deep breaths, Bear," I said.
Managed to shoot -7 for the first seven holes of the back 9. Hit a perfect teeshot on 18, to leave me around a 70-yard pitch. Birdie leaves me -13 for the round and, all things, considered pretty decent. The thing is, though, I didn't make a birdie. I didn't even make a par. My pitch shot went about 30 yards after another frame skip. Couldn't get it up and down and walked off with another dropped shot.
To say I'm raging is some kind of understatement. Played really well and only got rewarded with a -11 due to things beyond my control. I'm thinking of it as the -16 that got away. I'm hoping the time it has taken me to write this will help cool me off.
Right. Going back in for second round. I sincerely hope I don't get any kind of repeat of this garbage.
Same thing happened to me,very fast into water then next shot 10 inch off tee! |

It seems PC is getting a rough deal at the moment. But then it can also depend on your personal PC configuration. It's a mess right now IMHO. |

R3: -5 R4: -1 (only one bogey, but just couldn't get going).
I have had more stutters on my PC, but I won't blame my scores on it. I have had that happen in the past for sure, but this time they came when I wasn't committed to a swing (I did abort a couple of swings).

Art VandelayDidn't really get going this week. Everything was just a little meh! Consistent R1-3 then went to sh*t R4.

Happens to me once in a Blue moon, my PC configure is fine (married to Charlie the pc wiz ♥️) I blame it on servers more than pc, but also myself at times but I know when I screw up. This time was definitely a server problem |

This time was definitely a server problem I'm also on PC. I haven't experienced problems that extreme, but I have noticed that courses with a lot of water tend to screw with my swing, maybe straining my graphics capabilities a bit too much. I have the settings turned down, but it still hurts. |

Didn't play nearly as well this round -- tbh, would rather have gone and played tiddlywinks in the middle of a motorway than play another round today after what happened in the first round -- but another frame skip that went sideways and into the lake off the 8th tee was just the icing on the cake of a really ****ed-up afternoon of golf.
Great golf Bear. Frustrating when your scores are ruined by the game. Might be time to buy an Xbox mate 😉. Fantastic 1st round recoveries 😀👍🏼 |

Art VandelayRumble Week 1 Part 1 of the inevitable trauma at being well out of my depth. Fairly solid but unspectacular although did roll in a 78ft downhill triple break putt for eagle. I have no idea how to put a clip of it here.  Cheers all.

Rumble to the Halfway Point  Nothing to see here, Art Vandelay, just cementing my place as a fixture in Tier 4.  Rd 3: -5 Rd 4: -2  Also sad to report that the pink-lipped Mr. Titots has fallen from his perch.   |

Well gave everything that I had in the first round, and came up dried up after that ...

Art VandelayWell well well - after 7 rounds and 6 holes of slow greens, on hole 7 I started to feel like I knew what I was doing with my putter - and it lasted all the way to hole 18 before I three-putted  Round 3 Rumble score: -10
