SkyBlueBenSeason 7, week 1 (Pub Crawl pairs). Rd 1: -7 (awaiting a Randy extension - that's what she said)!! Rd 2: -8 (Damn bogey on #6 spoiled my day). Who knows where I will land in the CC tours. Great course choice catcherman22 - really enjoyable start to the season.

SkyBlueBen 2nd Round -7 I was doing alright on the front 9 with 5 birdies and a bogey and managed to get myself to -7 with 4 to play. I was banking on picking up birdies on the 2 par 5's unbeknownst to me the wind was against me, I had to settle for par on the first of them. I gave Dave and I a chance of taking something from it, but my birdie putt trickled wide and left us nothing from the first 2 rounds.

Something I have just noticed is that I now get punished by way of loss of distance for a grey fast whereas prior to the patch I would get extra distance for a grey fast. Anyone else getting that?
Ignore this. Having done some more testing I was wrong about this.

Kie your on Xbox other platforms might not be seeing this. Yes, that's why I was hoping from feedback from people on all platforms. Did you notice that when you played your rounds?

I noticed very little difference if any to the game apart from the bunker shots but I was playing without the feedback on. If it’s doing that with grey fasts that to me is what it should do. The further you are away from perfect either fast or slow the more affect it should have on your shot.

I definitely agree that that is what it should do (i.e you should get penalised for a grey fast not get extra distance). But that is not what it used to do (I used to get extra distance) so it is another thing to adapt to!

But that is not what it used to do (I used to get extra distance) so it is another thing to adapt to! And that's why this is a video game and not a golf simulation, in my opinion.... I'd say the perfect tempo of my golf swing in real life is probably 95% (or less) of how hard I CAN swing. It would be exhausting to go around a golf course and swing as hard as you possibly can but there needs to be a little in the tank to get a few extra yards of carry if needed. Speed equals force so how does a swing with a FASTER tempo produce a lighter swing? IMO, gray fast should add distance but lack accuracy and very fasts should go a mile but it should be a straight pull, at varying degrees of pullness. I get that people can and did manipulate that but people could (and do) goofy things like that in real life. Fatigue and confidence are 2 variables that I'd like to see in the next edition of a golf simulation. Fewer strokes (depending on effort percentage) and good scores keep the swing zone big but if the wheels start falling off, the window gets smaller and smaller. 🤷♂️ 🦊

SkyBlueBen I am not sure what to say about the new swing physics it's a very good golf sim but HB does need to pull it's finger out after 13months of play to get the swing tempo right . I am so happy that I changed my console to PS after X box's red ring of death a few years ago. I am sorry that x box users are having their problems although they do have Microsoft Flight Sim. As for my rounds no complaints and nothing to b%& about as my partner Carol ( inflames47 ) would put me in line. Rd1 -10 Rd2 -10 PS Congrats Ashton on your nuptials.

OFTR Enjoyed your course Simon, it felt a bit different to all the others and, as Ben said, there were some holes where I had to think about my options. For example of the Par 5 13th I decided I wasn't going to go anywhere near the water with that narrow fairway so I bailed out onto the fairway to the right and settled for a par. Happy with my score apart from a lazy bogey on the last where I missed a short putt because I was thinking about getting in the bar!
