There isn't a thread yet after almost 2 and a half days live?
Well I'll start it then.
I almost certainly made a cut with the 60 Hz on PS5. I was worried that with the large fields that making a cut would be quite hard to come by, but my adjustments have come slowly but surely. An easier course doesn't hurt and it took until week 28 of the season (we started in week 3) for me to get my first sub 60 round on the Platinum Tour. So 6 months in the making I went 60-57 to sit -23 after two. We'll see how the rest of the week plays out.
Good luck to those with rounds yet to play and to those who have yet to start their event/week.

Here's my post from the other thread: Helloooooo. I am exciteeeed. In fact, I am as close to dancing as I can get right now as I'm sitting in my office chair. Maybe, just maybe, this could have to do with my new Plat-PB. A round of applause, please. Wohooo! Yes, I know, the course is a little easier than your average Plat menu. Yes, I might have had some luck along the way with hole outs and chip-ins. And yes, I could still miss the cut with my halftime score. But who cares? After some tough weeks recently, I'm just happy to be able to shoot a consistently straight ball again. So now, I enjoy the moment because the next tempo issue is just around the corner. Cheers and good luck all!

Well I played pretty well for 3 1/2 rounds and then choked particularly badly in R4's back 9 (-1 only!), so the hopes of top 10 thru 3 will probably transform into a top ~30 at best.

I put up a -20 at the half, which means 2 things. My play style change is showing progress, and the cut line should be around -23 lol. If I do squeak in, I finished at -42. Respectable, but need loads of improvement.

Course is tops, really clear strategic choices each hole. Crazy laggy on 15 though, only way I could manage it was to play a fast. With the issues last few weeks with lag, is there any need for more rangers on PS4s?

With the issues last few weeks with lag, is there any need for more rangers on PS4s? I've been watching a couple of streams of console players and I had heard that from them as well. Having played tgc2019 on ps4, I understand the frustration. The issue we have as designers is that many of us don't experience the lag both while designing and after publish. I guess an option would be that if a course is selected for tour and a console ranger experiences lag, they could just ask the designer to see if they could reduce the planting, etc wherever the issue is and republish(?). That being said, I don't know why there's an issue on the 15th tee when there's plenty of other holes much more heavily planted. I'll blame the f'ing sheep

Another tough week for me on Platinum. I was rolling through the leaderboards on my way up here, but since getting to the top I've been served a large dose of humble pie! That's 3 straight missed cuts.
In R1 I was -6, with 4 (FOUR!!) bogeys. I started hot, -3 through 3 after an eagle on 3 (and with a lip out for birdie on 1), but got too excited and the heart rate got way too elevated ... very fasted my drive on 4 straight into the drink. What a way to follow up an eagle. After that I was in my own head and just couldn't get it back. Picked up 3 more bogeys along the way en route to a brutal round, especially with the conditions.
R2 was a little better, -8 (with 0 bogeys!). To be fair, I dove right into that one as I knew I'd already pissed this week away in R1, but I thought I played pretty well and could've gone a bit lower with a couple more made putts.
Anyways, I knew I'd missed the cut so I played it all out quickly, finishing up at -30. Now I'm on the wrong side of scoreboard watching, wondering if -14 thru 2 will pick me up any demo marks... will keep working on my game.

-19 after 2 rounds, I'll miss the cut because of 5-6 slighlty curvy putts of 8-12 feets. I simply don't learn. Need to fix that. -4 and -1 in 3rd, played pretty bad since I knew I missed it.

Sitting at -21 after 2rds. Based on my feel for how I scored vs played, I'm still a bit worried...but hopefully for nothing - maybe just scars from the awesome run of MC's I've had lately. I really enjoyed the course, almost entirely, so hopefully I get to play a couple more rounds in competition. There were a couple of pins I didn't love, but in the grand scheme of things, that's always going to happen - and I'm not losing sleep over it lol. Did experience the noticeable lag mentioned above starting on 14 and persisting through 15, but I'm skilled at playing in low FPS conditions so it wasn't game-breaking, but yea definitely more meaningful than the average fps drop. GL to all vying to make the weekend.

I played.
It was fun.
Missed cut.
Let's see if me scores stay.
Have feedback turned off.
No clue of lines.
Plenty of tempos other than perfect.
Slow.
Fast.
No very anything that I noticed.
I'm not very good.
Putting is a challenge.
Using marker only.
No lie grid.
It's top.
CC, here I come!
😏😏

Missed cut for me this week. Me and this course didn’t get on at all. Couldn’t get anything going. Great course though. Hats off to the designer!
