Hello. I played both TST and Platinum today to get rid of that course. I have to say that I'm quite happy with the result, even though I'll be cut line watching again. But as I said last week, this will be the usual procedure for me with all the new talents that made their way up recently. Had the most difficulties on the back 9, in particular my -1 there in round 2 might have cost my weekend. The rest has been pleasantly unspectacular. I had still some off tempo shots every now and then, but far fewer than some weeks ago. I'll keep building on that, but reaching the -30s again is satisfying. Cheers and good luck!

Hate this course. Was happy to speed golf all of my rounds. Really rocky start at -2 through 14 but got it to -16 by end of round 2, -36 total. Hopefully that’s enough for the cut but probably not. Either way I’ve played my last round at Riviera 😎

Hi guys! I'm very happy to talk about my golfing on this forum. From day 1 in the CC-C the goal was to go in Platinium and here I am! 😄
So, just did my first round. I was so freaking nervous. Haha! Played -5 and I'll gladly take it in these circumstance. I left a couple of easy putts here and there. I feel I could have played -8 or -9, but I could had also choked badly with an even round. So, -5 is alright! The ice is broken. Round 2 will wait a bit

I guess Sloaner is back to the PS4. I guess he never found the tempo with PC.

Went -7 and -8 to start. I am somewhat optimistic that makes the cut. If not I blame the goofy fringe putt physics (because I am never at fault, LOL) when I got my bogey in Rd 1 from weird flyer lag from the fringe when I putted it to try and be safe.
Had good tempo for the most part, so it would be annoying for my short game and putting that was just meh to keep me from the weekend.
Anyways, good luck to all yet to play and to those with rounds yet to finish!

Anyways, good luck to all yet to play and to those with rounds yet to finish! For once I will flex something. Having a good off the tee game and reading the fairways and their slopes is a key. Having good tempo even while playing the perfect game and being a short-knocker can benefit you on a medium or shorter distance courses. I'll take being 132nd out of 134 played in driving distance when I can also be 1st in FIR.

All I will say is I absolutely hate slower greens in this game. Completely unrealistic physics.
-10/-7 with all the missed putts in R2.

Wait wait wait as a FOK I need to ask. Did you not wear your stylish new hat for your platinum rounds? I’m gonna have to petition for at least a stroke penalty for each hole without it. You are now +21 at the cut. Better luck next week

You are now +21 at the cut. Better luck next week Dear inspector, Sincere apologies, but I have to admit that I didn't even wear it during my HTF rounds. I accept this harsh punishment and confirm that I will do my best to wear the hat next week for my HTF rounds at least. Yours faithfully, K.

Got the bounceback! -4 through round 1 felt very mediocre. Had some bad bounces (including off of a phantom tree branch huge collision hit box), shot a few bogies, and left some on the board. Was ready for more heartbreak when I found my putter in round 2. Oh, how I've missed you putter. On the 144 greens, I could be more aggressive with the line, and not worry too much about it rolling forever. Hit a lot more downhill putts than I'm used to and shot a -13, a score matched by the top players on the tour (5 of the top 6 had a 58, R0kkit with a 59). Had some incredible moments, and after feeling like I was not ready for Platinum, I've made some strides this week. Can't wait to play into the weekend. So excited to have done as well as I did. Incredible putt to end it!

I don’t think I’m going to play tourneys on officially licensed courses again until I get a PS5. Sitting on the tee of the 32nd hole at +1. Literally the only time I shoot over par is on the real courses that come with the game. It may be psychosomatic, but my trend of playing at a CC-Z level only on those courses isn’t worth gambling my Platinum card.
