Just want to vent for a minute in case anyone wants to stop reading now but my game has gone to complete garbage overnight. Course was definitely on the harder side but fair in that you had a difficult putt even if you were on the right level of the green but man I played absolutely terrible today. Luckily you can only get two demotions per week so that’ll put me at 4 so my time may be short if things don’t turn around. And I’m not sure if if it’s because I don’t want to hit red fast which I didn’t play for anyway but I’ve been hitting slows constantly and it’s driving me insane. Like I said sorry to rant but I needed to get this out somewhere and the wife would look at my like I was crazy if I started rambling about a video game to her. I’ll post my cow hunt scores once I’ve finished all four rounds to maybe gain some respect over the final 36 holes. All I hit is slows now. And the only time I used red fast was on drives before. So it’s really weird that is somehow affects my irons now. I feel your pain.

Not sure if it’s: (a) because a perfect wood tempo feels slightly slower than a perfect iron tempo (probably just in my head from switching from fast drives) (b) red fast is so punitive you lean your tempo a little to the slow side. (c) both of the above

+1 second round so back to even par for the week.
I don't stress too much about tempo, I just keep playing how I always have, miss either side of perfect trying for it, usually grey but sometimes red. I dunno what percentage are perfect but it's reasonably consistent.
Sometimes the red fasts are less punishing than they used to be because they don't travel far enough to end up in the rough. Of course they can land in a bunker, either way it's still a longer second shot, which depending on the hole is just as bad as being in the rough but closer. My scores haven't really changed since the update.

Looks like I missed week 1 but I am definitely interested in registering for season 8. I'm currently on Platinum tour and currently -8 thru 2 rounds (-4, -4). I'll finish my rounds and post again later today to finalize the week. Looking forward to this since I rarely can make the cut on this tour (lol)!

welcome aboard! Have you played last week by any chance? I can include your scores retroactively. Cheers, The Secretariat of the Golden Cow

Definitely an adjustment but I've seen your scores when you're in good form and you have nothing to worry about ha.

-14 for me. probably should have been comfortably in the 20s but couldn't make a putt to save my life. FIR of 75% is pretty close to where I was playing red fasts but the shorter distance from smaller driver & no 105%s definitely makes an impact. I'm feeling much more consistent with my approaches than I was at the start of the week so hopefully next week can at least fight for a cut.

Finished at -12 (-4, -4, -2, -2). Definitely a challenging course with areas that you can't miss around the green...and I unfortunately found one or two of those areas in each round.

Finished at -25. Just could not get anything going with the putter on the final 2 rounds. Looks like that will be a halfway decent finish based on the scores I saw on PS4 though?

up mup kupen nupR1 +13 (LOL all time nightmare round stuff right here) R2 -4 R3 +2 R4 -7 T +4 While the adjustment post update has been tough that R1 score is just laughable lol. Got on tilt and couldn't find my way off, missing everywhere on everything, not sinking putts. Managed to fight back enough R2 to get out of dead last at the cut in Plat which was the mini accomplishment of the week . Wanted to grind it back to E but a terrible R3 stopped that. Good run on tough conditions in R4 gave me a bit of faith that I'm not totally hopeless. Got a lot of work to do and it might knock me out of Plat in the meantime but hoping I can get back to my comfortable Plat Purgatory for next week.

Course is ... interesting. 2 under through 5, then I lost my touch, went +4 over the remaining 13 holes. Nary a bird to be had on the inward nine. R1: 74 (+2) 3 short chips for birdies in the first eight holes was submarined by a 4-putt bogey on 10 and a trip down--and eventually back up--the cliff on 17 for a double. I feel like I'm getting a handle on the course though. Famous last words. R2: 72 (E)

I played my first two rounds at Avondale.
R1: -2 R2: -3
Too many mistakes to make a cut this week. Pre or post-update, my performance in the first two rounds wouldn't be deserving of a made cut. Mayday's courses don't allow you a reprieve for mistakes.
I will play my final 2 before Saturday. Don't know when yet

The combination of this course and the new patch almost made me not play my plat rounds this week. This course should have been left in TGC19. On to next week.
