Didn't spot too many cacti in Melbourne, but a lovely course nonetheless - so keep up these nice picks Brian...
Good start for me with -11 and -9 for what should be a straightforward made cut. Couldn't quite keep up that pace though, and making my first bogey of the event at the 71st hole left a bit of a sour taste (and the utterance of a few expletives)
-35 total - decent, but, in the end, unspectacular.

Recovering from a stomach bug but won’t have time to play first two rounds later this week, so just went for it.
-13, which isn’t bad given that I had no clue what I was doing... 😂
Best wishes Frans

First week on Platinum for me. Have made it here all the way from CC-E in the beginning. What a journey!
-11/-5 to start for a -16 to start. Hoping to be 1/1 in cuts! Looking forward to competing with you all

Tempo absolutely slaughtered me out there! Just no idea what to expect anymore. Don't normally play until later in the week but played the first two rounds in pissed off mode. -14.. missed cut.

Played rd 1 early for some reason. Got my fair share of bad breaks, careless play here and there (trying to have “fun”), with the end result of what felt like one of the worst -8’s I’ve ever shot.
Main comment on course is that it feels like we just played a different (better, no offense intended) version of it a few weeks back on Ben’s Yara. But it’s all good, still a nice one to play. GL folks.

Another course that plays really well in my opinion. My game didn’t match, unfortunately. -9 to open and then the virtual yips came into play (apparently that’s a thing). -13 for a missed cut

Do you play wired or not wired? Always wired. Tempo has a mind of its own now. Lightning fast for a few holes then deathly slow. Can change at anytime without warning. (PS4)

(PS4) I played wired for the last few months and noticed the same. Never got perfect with driver or fairways and sporadic with irons. Have taken the cable out since last weekend and much improved. Maybe 1/2 are perfect where I play for it, and it really helps if I focus on the stick direction rather than the tempo. If I focus on the tempo I get too jittery and get fast-pull hook combo more often than not. Maybe doesn't work for everyone, but certainly helped me. HTH.

Ohh, will I have a chance of actually making a cut? Would be rather nice too, to be honest -16 thru 36 H's, 1 bogey, many,many missed putts, that part of game is killing me at present, seem to have aquired a pull swing line, only when putting, absolutely doing my noodle in now, oh well, is what it is I guess Good Luck All.

Well! Glad I didn't practice the Elite course and the promotion event instead as I got an unexpected glitched Platinum promotion .

I really enjoyed the course this week. Looks like another 4 rounds of mediocrity, however. I think I am -21 at the cut and finished -40 overall. Another brilliant week with the tempo and tee to green, but I must have put on a blindfold when I pulled out the putter. Outside of a few rare straight putts, pretty much every birdie was a result of me hitting it within tap in range because I could not make a putt to save my life. Good luck to everyone this week.

-7, -4, -4, -8 for -24. Final round was “meh” until I jarred one from 243 for an albatross on the 72nd hold. Let’s hope it counts but -11 will probably be 2 or 3 shots below the cut line. See y’all next week.

Gonna miss the cut by a large margin sitting -8 after two. Should be expected when one completely mails in their rounds.
But at least I had one highlight:

Hello. After two weeks of bad tempo, I used my free time at the end of last week to perform some minor tweaks to the ingame mouse swing sensitivity. It is now back at 79, thus favoring slower swinging, and I'm happy to report that this seems to have helped. My confidence is growing again, and it shows to a certain extent in this week's results already. Sitting at -19 halfway through, I should be safe for the weekend, and even though my scores dropped a little afterwards as I couldn't quite hold my tempo through all four rounds, I am still happy with my overall score. Cheers and good luck all!
