Yes I got kicked out of the CC Pig truck and sent to the Kinetic Pig Truck. I hear they have air conditioning.. Am I still allowed to be a dirtbag or am I getting shitcanned? edited to add and the funny thing (s) are. -I didn't think I was going to get promoted at all, from what I gathered I didn't think there were enough cards to go around. -I usually play a few rounds of each tours events each week. I played 1 round of Elite, finished even and had a struggle on the course. -5 or six in R1 of Platinum - I then went and played a whole round in Kinetic and started Round two when for some reason I said to myself "i better stop in case I were to get promoted." Up to this point I wasn't taking it too seriously, just playing a casual round. Good thing is I came in at -6 for the 1'st round so didn't totally blow it. No, you are still allowed to be a Dirtbag, it is just more work for me, sigh.

I really don't mind at all and would be more than happy to give the spot to someone waiting to get in. I mean that in all honesty. If fact, just tell me you have people in reserve and I'll step aside, you don't need to ask. Edited to reword. I will stick in DB only if you don't have someone to take my spot. It would best for all for all if I resigned now since the new season hasn't started to be honest. Fill my spot and you can use me as a reserve in case someone can't play at some point. I feel better doing it this way than sticking around hogging a spot when other actuall CC players are on a list waiting. Really don't be worried I'll be upset or anything. Truth is I'm in a happy place right now. I've been wanting out of CC for a long time. Nothing personal against CC or anything it's just being in CCA and not shooting -14 every round and and winding up middle of the leadboard just trying to avoid demo marks has been draining. I got what I wanted and happy so don't mind leaving the DB's on a high note and making room for someone who has been waiting to get in. I'm more than happy to give someone their chance.

TimB Tim, we like having you around, most of the time , so unless you are tired of us, then plan on being a bag of dirt for a while. What I am really saying is that is 'entirely' up to you and your time availability for the extra rounds.

I second Bill's statement Tim, we do not have anyone in the wings to take your place, so I would rather you stayed a DB. I was just kidding when I made the "more work" comment, it is a drop in my bucket time-wise. Since your Season 4 teammates will be depending on you though, we only want you to stay if you feel you can put your heart in it. As for your other reason "I've been wanting out of CC for a long time. Nothing personal against CC or anything it's just being in CCA and not shooting -14 every round and and winding up middle of the leadboard just trying to avoid demo marks has been draining", I hate to tell you this, but Kinetic is harder than CC-A; the competition is tough, I make less than half the cuts, and am hanging on for dear life. I have only gotten one promo mark in Kinetic. Food for thought.

I have only gotten one promo mark in Kinetic. Food for thought. Ok I'll stick around. I love being in this league within a league and would play the cc events anyway. Playing the CC event in a few hours for the DB cup. As long as no one who is in CC is waiting then all is good. I do realize that K may be a little harder. (I was actually there back in 2016-17, but after a 10 month hospital stay and no golf and a new version came out, I was discharged from the hospital, jumping right into the then Web rounds with no practice and was demoted in no time) But I've been playing the events a bit over time and don't find the courses to be much harder. This week at Glen Oaks is a tougher one though, narrow. But for me my complaint (and not actually wanting to use the word complaint, but maybe issue, crap I don't know) is the skill gap is CC is huge thus the courses being used varies a lot, which I understand the reasoning for. But I absolutely hate playing the easier events in CC. Where I can pull off a -8/9 it's nothing in CCA and usually means me missing the cut and getting a demo mark. I'm looking forward to K where the skill gap may not be so huge and the courses are more suited for what I prefer. In no way am I bashing CC or it's players, levels or anything. So I guess you will need me to grab a screenshot of my scorecard for the CC events when I'm done correct? I'm glad to be sticking with you guys. TGCTours makes 2k21 worth playing and the DB's are that added touch that makes it even more fun. Tagging billybudd0623To say thank you for your kind words rather than quoting and typing a whole new message. It's 2 am here and just up for my middle of the night old guy routine then back to close my eyes for 2 more hours

Sure did! Was keeping expectations low and THAT'S when this promo event works. Doing a tour of CC flights right now, went from E to D after 1 week where I missed the cut. Statisticians are going to be baffled by my 0% made cuts and why that gets promoted! I'm a CC-F legend myself Tomi, got a battlefield promotion from G to F before the promo event at Inca's bumped me to CC-C. I was only a part of CC-F for two hours but they seemed like nice guys.

Also guys, next season will be my last season as a Dirtbag as work is scheduled to get back to normal in a few months time and thus get in the way of pixel golf. I would love to stay on as a sub but I won't be able to play on a weekly basis. So next season should named be the Axel von Fersen Tributary Cup in my honor. As I'm somewhat of a Dirtbag legend now.
