Is this the discussion thread too?
Well if it is, I had to play all my rounds since I have a hellish work week ahead. Got to -25. I'm hoping that's enough to move up a bit from CC-D but never been through one of these so have no idea how it works.
Should've been at least 30 under but the Series X struck multiple times...pretty frustrating.
Great course. Tight in spots, generous greens and great visuals. It was fair and fun. Good luck all.

With so many pro slots available you'll likely be moving up - my guess would be at least to Kinetic.

Sitting in Kinetic right now...hoping my score is good enough to pop me up to the Elite tour

Just took a quick practice round, this is a proper course. Super well designed.

Currently in CCG. Have been super frustrated that the PS4 update comes out a day before the promotion event which has totally screwed my putting. Ended up above par after two rounds before it clicked. Ended up getting my score down to -9. Disappointed because I think 20 under could have been doable for me but that’s on me for playing the round too soon. I really liked the course though! Felt like there were no free holes which was fun. Definitely a grind and a good choice for the promotion event because it was hard but not gimmicky. I feel like I should move up a fight or two with -9 under but probably not too far?

Has anybody had any putts that have hit the flag stick and bounced out? I really putt the same since I found my rhythm and a few short putts that I like to bang in have hit the stick and come out. I even had a few 10 footers that I normally putt with the same speed and have hit the stick and have bounced out. And it wasn’t with just this course. I played my practice rounds at Royal St. Michaels and it had happened there as well.
It is no biggie as I will remove the stick unless a real long putt but maybe they made the hole slightly smaller? Up this weekend I had never bounced off the stick with my putts. I have also noticed a few more burning the edge.
But the anyway the course is fabulous with some nice pins tucked in the corners.
Great design by CrazyCanuck! And good luck to all!

-7 and -4 for my first two rounds in this one. Couldn't find a consistent tempo in the second round.

Did some averaging..
Based on 140 Ideal tour size - I averaged the last 4 weeks for all the tours - so at least this is a loose idea of what would be available.
NOTE: I am not a site admin and this is just my predictions - this is not to be taken as gospel..
Tour/ 4 week AVG/ Ideal/ Open slots
PLT/ 128 / 140 / 12 ELT/ 109 / 140 / 31 KIN/ 120 / 140 / 20 CCA/ 129 / 140 / 11 CCB/ 135 / 140 / 5 CCC/ 139 / 140 / 1 CCD/ 132 / 140 / 8 CCE/ 134 / 140 / 6 CCF/ 136 / 140 / 4 CCG/ 132 / 140 / 8 CCH/ 136 / 140 / 4 CCI/ 138 / 140 / 2 CCJ/ 133 / 140 / 7 CCK/ 132 / 140 / 8 CCL/ 127 /140 / 13 - this would be filled by following week's Q-School
So roughly about 127 initial slots available - with compound effect as players promote up from the initial numbers there will be A LOT of movement - so play your rounds and see where it all shakes out.
I'll post predictions on this thread periodically - as I'm sure others will as well. Good Luck to all !!

Same here, I find it absolutely incredible that they have updated the swing mechanics once again, this one just one day prior Promotion #1. The swing recalibration kinda solved the tempo issues (I was hitting almost only fasts after the update), but putting is definetely f***ed up for my next rounds. And I was quite good at chip and putt before The hole is definitely smaller, probably their intention is too get less hole outs and chips in. Additionally, it felt to me that I need much more power, I ended a lot of putts 3-5 shorter by shooting with the old mechanics.
-3 after the first round, so I decided to solve my issues at other societies before and come back at the end of the week, hopefully on a better status and hopefully without my dear HB studios pulling a fourth update prior that

Saved my good swings for the CC event and not this apparently! I hear you. Same here. Did a couple practice rounds 64,60 I think. What did I do when it mattered? 68,72,66 (I think) and 68 I think. Wish you could have the ability to change the lighting. As someone who is a little older than most on here I find the dawn setting very hard on the eyes and really struggled with seeing. Especially on the putts. Beautiful course too bad I left a lot of birdies out there.
