Welcome to Peru, Melbourne, Australia. It's a suburb right?
Terrible opening round, just simply couldn't make any birdies: -4 (in trouble for the cut again) Good R2 (especially a -8 opening 9), got it to -15 at the cut (who knows?) Extremely average after the cut
-28 total
Nice course - a couple of pins right on the edge, but all ok

Lovely course. Tried to avoid making stupid mistakes and managed to do that for 35 of the first 36 holes... 😂😂😂
-16 halfway and I hope it’s enough to clear one of those red thingies... 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Best wishes Frans

-10 to start and then a 2nd round where I kinda smacked and slapped the ball all around to a -4 to sit -14 and cut watching methinks.
When I went to clip my rounds I saw that it probably doesn't help to play the two rounds in a total of about 35 and a half minutes with two brief stops to grab a new beer. 17 minutes and change in round one and then about 18 and a half minutes in round two.
Haven't had a problem with slows the last couple of weeks but they did rear their head this week.

This was a great course that was set up really well other than round 3.
Why 187 speed was chosen in combination with pins on red slopes was a little odd. I five putted from 20 feet on one hole which was an interesting few moments.
If it wasn’t for that and the obvious 10 minute melt down that followed I would have had a pretty good result.
Good luck

Good luck Glad you liked the course. All conditions and setup choices were mine, so that's on me if there is a pin with red in the one box - I'd be interested to know which as I playtested a lot on maxed greens. Apologies if so. There were meant to be a couple of borderline pins mitigated with low winds and (I think) shorter tees, so as to give you a different challenge.

I think if you swapped the green speeds around on rounds 3 and 4 it would have been perfect. The pins in round 3 were easily the most difficult and on some very severe slopes. I didn’t think it was necessary to have 187 with those pin locations. Everything else was great 👍

I didn’t think it was necessary to have 187 with those pin locations. Everything else was great 👍 Ah ok. 12 I reckon - the uphill approach? That green was always right on the edge as a short-ish par five that is generally a back to front green, meaning you had to miss short of the pins. Don't think I'd have done it on 16 (the other back nine par five) as that's front to back, which is trickier to hold with a longer approach. I know for sure I went as close as I felt I could on a couple of the par five and short four (6 and 15) pins so not surprised it won't work for some. I'll probably play at some point and look at that one. Cheers for the feedback. Re: green speeds, I generally want a R4 to still be scoreable and not push the envelope with settings - that's always felt a bit gimmicky for me and my feeling is that, if I were running a tournament, I'd want people to have the chance to go and win it rather than it just being whoever makes fewest mistakes. Hopefully that came through, bar the aforementioned pin.

Hopefully that came through, bar the aforementioned pin. It was playing down wind, and with the bunker positioned short right and the pin right down the front it’s pretty difficult to leave that ball short of the pin. I landed mine 20 yards short of the green and it still run 20 foot past the flag which as I’ve already mentioned was impossible

I liked the course too. Good fun, a big improvement on last week.
Still missed the cut thanks to incomprehensible tempo control. Anyone else find it worse on Sundays than any other day?

-6, -6. Feels like a missed cut by a couple. Not playing well at the moment, but really liked the course.

Course was OK would be good but it’s the same as 90% of the courses. I’m really tired of elevated greens with sloped edges that results in 40yard up and down. C’mon designers, let’s have some variety.

I played like poo but enjoyed the course and the setup. Only 1 or 2 holes that had pins/conditions that felt inaccessible with a good shot. Really great selection IMO

Going back over my rounds and I have a question to ask the masses:
If you are just off of the green in the fringe or fairway, do you actually need to take away distance if you putt? Something seems way off in this version versus past ones when you putt from just off of the green where it's almost like you have a flier lie even though it's just a putt. I hope that makes sense and others can comment on it. It very likely cost me a stroke on hole #7 in R1.
Curious of other opinions.

Despite the % saying otherwise, I treat most of them as if they were 100% lies and this helps me in making quite a few of them.

You pretty much need to treat it at the green speed, not the fringe/fairway speed it calculates the swing % on - particularly with faster green speeds. Might screw with you if you have haptic on.
