Just wanted to start this early cause I did a practice round on it and was at +8 after 9 going WTF?
This is going to be an interesting week for a person who is having tempo issues.
I can honestly see how people can score really low, while also there are a lot of holes you can blow up very quickly.

-8, -4, -7, -10 for -29 total. Fun and dangerous course. Tough to keep it in the fairway on a lot of holes with the elevation changes.
My performance on that drivable par 4 over water was comical. Behind a grandstand then into the water on the next shot. Behind a camera tower on another round. Think I finished +3 on that hole.

For me, there is just something that seems off. Perhaps I need to practice more and find the landing areas, take shorter clubs from the tees and get out the worm cam on the greens. The greens seems like everything breaks a lot more than something i'm used to and there are a tonne of little mini-breaks. You really have to read the whole putt.
Still it isn't a course I'm finding myself liking, probably because I feel like I hit a lot of good shot and yet, the end result is feeling very random based off some really crazy bounces. I literally hit the ball in the right rough and after a series of bounces, I ended up OB 40 yards to the left of the fairway. Another hole, ball dead down the center, bounced 20 yards right on one hop, then 30 yards left on another hop and again somehow ended up as a 375 yards drive ob to the left of the fairway. Yeah I get it, don't take driver but a 3 wood had just as many odd and unpredictable bounces.
I guess just not my cup of tee.

Any way to turn shadows off on PS4? Round 2 winds are making reading putts really difficult.

Anyone seeing this course giving you very unexpected tempos? I think I have figured out that is what my problem is. I have tried a couple of times to hit a fast and get a slow, then try to hit a slow and get a Very Fast. The Tempo meter is all over the place. First course this season that I can say I have really had an issue with the tempo over a multitude of shots. I had a friend play it and he was having issues too.

Maybe try restarting the game.

Maybe try restarting the game. That isn't the issue. It happened over several days and several restarts.
I brought my mouse home and will give it a go tomorrow on the better computer at home and see if there is an issue, tho I prefer to play at the office. It has much better ergonomics.

R1 -7 R2 -1 R3 -8 R4 -7 Played well three of the 4 rounds, 2nd round might have put me below the cut line.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's a great course but tracks like that should be saved for major events etc Move up a level and you could play Augusta this week. Or... stay stuck here and deal with me picking what I think was the best Lidar of last year to give our guys a big tourney feel this week too. Slight bias having gone to school in Austin as well. Oops.
