Well, I did my usual weekend fade after making a cut (likely cut anyways).
-9/-10/-4/-5 to finish up -28. Top 50 is my usual goal when making a cut, but not sure if that gets there or not.
I did accomplish something this week. 100% FIR all four rounds, which actually makes my score seem more pathetic. The amount of putts I just missed was ridiculous in R3 and R4.
Anyways, I think I cleared my last strike and we'll see ya next week. GL to everyone who hasn't started or that have rounds yet to finish.

First official quadruple bogey last week. First official quintuple bogey this week. Not a great trend to start my platinum career.

Someone showed me this earlier - watch the lie %:
Edit: Just realized it's a practice swing...does practice swing %age work as a tell as to what the actual lie %age is then? Am I just an idiot who never realized that, and everyone else already knows?

Felt more in control this week but still not spectacular. -5, -8, -7, -5 for -25. Might make the cut and won’t get demo marks. See y’all next week.

I don’t know if it actually works or not. I tend to lean towards the number and usually it’s pretty close.

I don’t know if it actually works or not. I tend to lean towards the number and usually it’s pretty close. So every time you go into practice swing mode, it gives you a single %, not the range?

Just really had nothing for the course this week.
Whisky Run - 1 Me - 0
Having said that, seems like a devolving pattern for me in these events. Just can't wrap my head around it, really a bummer when I can't perform in here - at least for a round or two - as well as I know I'm capable of playing.
Oh well, onto the next one. GL everyone, see yall next week.

This has been in the game as long as I can remember, and I remember figuring it out in early September. As far as I can tell, the bug works: -only on the first practice swing -as an exact tell for carry distance (i.e. if you're in heavy rough with a 180 yard club with the bug reading as a 75% lie, the ball will always fly 75% of 180, or 135) -imprecisely, i.e. sometimes the bug won't work, won't narrow down to a single percentage or, rarely, will give an even bigger percentage range Weird and useful for maybe a few shots a tournament, but it's worth knowing about imo

That OB on the 4th hole just off the green is a travesty of justice. That is all. Disagree. Call me old-fashioned, but I think hitting off the edge of a cliff should be a ball you don't recover. Hope everyone enjoys the course - as with all links courses, you'll get some good and not so good bounces. Play well! The OB there stretches on to the fringe. I hit 2 balls, landed on green and rolled into fringe 16' from the hole and was OB on both. 3rd one also hit the fringe but I got lucky I guess. HB designer shortcoming there, they need to fix how OB is delineated (splines?)... unfortunate and painful.
