Definitely 2 parts to this post haha... 1. Please allow small flex 11 weeks ago I shot 85 and 75 in the first 2 rounds of Q school as well as my first 2 rounds playing on master difficulty. I saw guys like Sloaner's and CuseHokie's scores and definitely wanted to quit and go back to NBA2k lol. I spent the next couple weeks playing nothing but this game and falling in love with it. I studied twitch streams and ghost balls and tried to figure out ways to shave strokes. 9 weeks later I've gone from CC-C to Platinum. My goal was to make it before the first promo event so I could do it without skipping any flights, but I didn't really know if that was mathematically possible and realistically I just wanted to make sure I made it here before the next Masters. So to be here now playing along side for real all the guys I studied like Whitlock, Hammo, Keites, Trebel, Albi, Priest, Dukediesel and dozens of others is cool.
2. Reality Check I definitely put a ton of pressure on myself to perform well in my debut and while I drove the ball well and putted ok, I was very nervous in my swing and my approaches suffered. I always play rounds 1 and 2 with the same grouping and then 3 and 4 based on where I am in the leaderboard. Played with Sloaner and Copeylad and they definitely made me look like I'm not ready haha. Shot a 70 in round 1 and was +2 at one point. Hopefully can put something together sooner in round 2 to make the cut. Good luck to everyone this week, tough but beautiful course. Crazy greens and some really tough pins but I know that's how it is around here.

Good afternoon, sadly, the promo event came one week too late for me in view of my pursuit for the Silver Cow. Apart from an absolutely ridiculous back 9 in round 2, where I shot -10 with 6 birds, two eagles, and a par, I couldn't deal with either my swing, the course, or both. I am slightly angry at myself for having decided to play these important rounds after having completed 6 rounds beforehand already. Anyway, up for grabs is my mediocre score. I'm afraid that it will drop me out of the precious metal Cow ranks at the last minute. Cheers and good luck!

I like to watch dominant players or teams. I look at this leaderboard before mine just to see the top leaders.

I am sure it is tiresome to deal with the few guys who can't comprehend how to be good at the game and start yelling cheater after every round to help themselves sleep at night.. But to me, it's great to watch those guys complain, and see Steve just proceed to win be even more shots the next week. Plus, it just makes me want to get better.

Dropped 12 shots this week with 3 doubles and 6 bogies to shoot -30. Very unlike me and disappointing since a regular week with maybe 2 bogies or so may have put me in contention. Played on PS5 and seemed to feel okay but maybe the first rounds on a new controller had me more prone to mistakes. Fun course but the green complexes weren’t great unfortunately.
I’m playing decently at times lately and maybe I’ll start to get a few more rounds in each week now with the PS5 in hand and not as many PC games.

How are you finding the ps5 tyler. I find it plays alot more accurately. I hit less perfects this week than i did on the ps4 but im only just missing and i ve found you get a better feedback for your shot tempo and can correct it slightly. Not easily but you can. Ds4 feels very bash happy to hit tempo and if you do that on ps5 you get a mad red fast. You have to be alot more controlled and it is alot more about tempo instead of just calibrating allowing for the bash!

I have zero trust in basically any shot in these rounds for whatever reason...it's like groundhog day for me on tour the last several weeks, with the exception that this week is somehow worse. First MC of the year incoming...

-45 for the week.
Really struggled on the front 9 with -2/-4/-5/-2. Not good enough inside 100 with the tougher greens on that side.
163 greens in R2 played awful imo - slower greens in general in this game are rubbish.
Enjoyed the course, really put an emphasis on approach play.
Nice shooting Scotty, hope it holds up.

Breezed through to a safe made cut (-17 through two rounds). Three cuts in a row! Feel like I am getting the hang of it now that I am on PS5 and you can "feel" your shots even more than on PS4.
Driving distance is showing again this week, and so far I am dead last despite moving up 4 yards on my Driver. Think I found the limit to where I can have three different polling places in the white perfect area on that club. Helped that I went 100% on FIRs through two rounds as well. Had my usual 2-3 brain farts with the flat stick including a 3 putt from less than 10 feet in R1.
Enjoying the course so far. Good luck to all with rounds left to play and also to those who have yet to start.

I guess there’s more than 1 way to play the course. Nice shooting
