68-74, will be another MC and probably close to last place. I don't understand what happened but I can't find a reliable tempo anymore. I messed around with graphics settings and it made everything strange.... locking it at 30hz led to lots of perfects or close with the driver, but putting was impossible (and it was nauseating). Going unsynched led to very slows every swing. I lowered my graphics settings all the way and put it at 60hz but that was back to unpredictable results. I dunno. Something changed between Q School/1st week and after and now I just can't manage this game. I think it's beer league time.

I think I finished -35 or so? Started out well, -11 in round 1 and drained a 63 foot putt. Last 3 rounds weren’t bad at all but just got progressively worse.
But thankfully I didn’t have a repeat of last week where I was kicked off a hole for taking too many shots. I swear that my tempo is better right after restarting my laptop. Once it gets cooking, round 4 comes along, and it all goes to hell.

Not a terrible start.
R1: -7 R2: -7 T: -14
R1 included my 1st hole in one on the game on #7. Felt like R2 could have been so much better. -5 on the front and only -2 on the back.
Anyone else hit into the left side of the fairway on #14 and get tagged with a Heavy Rough lie?

For such a short course I couldn't hit squat. Bad tempo just killed any and all chances I had to make a cut. Even from 20-30 yards out I couldn't get close as I'd have a VF and end up 20 feet long or VS and end up 20 feet short. The sheer amount of Very Fast/Slow swings is completely mind boggling. I've never had the issue with "verys" in any iteration of this game, until this one. Like many people have said, the tempo from Q-school to now is completely different and I'm not sure how to correct it.
Only good news is I think I'll avoid a strike.

I've torn up my card, headed to beer league next week. Nice knowing you all - at least I can say I Q'd into Elite.

Hmm, I’m sitting on top (at the moment, anyway) after a second round with very little wind that left the door open for pin hunting (and I was in the zone).
The obvious question: Just how will I screw this up?

Apparently these trees have some nasty hitboxes. No idea why. It’s good that way, I felt I could birdie this hole every time I played it yet I was +8 on that hole for the week! It’s sneaky AF, love it

Love to see this. Sorry it didn’t work out for ya. I love the 11th personally, classic Coore/Crenshaw boundary hole and I’m a sucker for those two. Now... trees... not so fun
