10 OWEN AYY / COZY -11 (W)7 RONRUN / GIZ 17 +15.71
2 CHALKEY / STUNNING -33 (W)18 RHINO / MONEYMAN 0 +16.97Augusta has now come and gone for another year. Some may wish it never comes back. I personally loved it and hated it at the same time. I got screwed on #9 (like many others) in round two with the ball rolling all the way to Atlanta. I really did not putt overly well (several 3 putts) but I seemed to played Amen Corner pretty decent. I appreciate everyone who embraced the challenge and took it for what it was. This week is back to some normalcy with mattf27 The Pinebluff Club. Another excellent course as expected. These greens will be much slower which may give people fits considering the Ryder Cup and Augusta speeds. Elite 8 Matchups:1 BMELLS / ORANGE 8 SMITJI / JORDAN +3.68 5 DEMON / STOWEY 4 MIGUEL / BERTY44 +0.94 3 ASYOUDO / MDH 11 SKYBLUE / KNICKER +7.33 2 CHALKEY / STUNNING 10 OWEN / COZY2000 +5.76 Was hoping to have a Ryder Cup summary tonight congratulating my team with a great victory. Europe spoiled those plans late yesterday with two wins and lead the event 15.5 to 14.5. Team Europe just needs one win out of the last two matches to steal the cup. Team USA must win the first match and can draw the second match to retain the cup. Best guess at this time is the first match will be early (USA time) on Wednesday and the second match if needed is possibly Thursday. - <li>Reminder that if you want to play teams next season speak up now, even if you do not have a partner. If you do not want to play teams next season speak up as well. There are people who want to play if anyone wants to back out.
- Working on a revamp of the teams play for the following season. I would of liked to have implemented something new this upcoming season but Ryder Cup and life in general got in the way. I will post more news about it down the road.
- Reminder that divisional play will reset itself for next season. Winners of each division (and possibly the runner up) will move up. Bottom feeders will likely move down. Those who joined after this season started and were placed in Alpha will be appropriately placed based on your body of work.
Good luck this week Could me and bigblustu get added for teams please mate |

Currently only one CCB second round lower than mine, and that's from fellow BOBer liebs44 who is right up in nose bleed territory. Wolverines on one, WOLVERINES!!! 🙌 I have submitted a ticket to get my data checked.... |

I may be wrong here but I believe your API is checked when your 2nd and 4th rounds are pulled from the society so as your 2nd round is showing you should be fine. No reason why you shouldn’t be to be honest. |

Don't have a Wolverine but have also been struggling mightily these past few weeks. Is Calibration good to do now - I know at one point the 'default' was the answer as many of us reset our calibration. I'vee not redone it since resetting.
In general I have a good swing, but get the out of nowhere dark VF or dark VS that absolutely kills rounds - and after that it's speed golf just to get it over with - which of course leads to the less than desirable results.
I have a X/S controller that is used ONLY for golf, but it's a good 3 years old now. I also have an Elite Series 2 which I have used on occasion, I just don't like the feel the stick has when it comes to putting as it seems to want to snap to center too easily, which for me, makes it hard to get that feel for the shorter putts.
Have been sort of investigating the Wolverine as of late, but not sure I want to go wired as I sit on couch and XB is a good 6 ft or so from the couch, but I am also not enjoying the game much these days considering...

The lead is 10 feet. I haven't had one single dark VS or VF since using this controller. Not one, in about 6 full rounds. Think about that for a minute! It's not all roses, the swing line is a lot harder, but tempo is king in this game. Putting I'm finding easier on the line because it isn't a full swing (no way am I using 2 controllers for one round of golf! 🤣) but I have been hitting them a little hard. I'm sure that touch will come with time. I'll post in here any response from the Admin. |

Response from Jeff (Smiling Goats) to my query: "I don't have any concerns about the swing data in those two rounds. It looks normal." Let's go get 'em Xboxers!!  |

Calibrate or stay on the 'default' ?? If you're on the stock controller I'd stick to the default calibration. If you get the Wolverine you have to calibrate because straight out the box everything is slow. |

To be blunt....stop @!$#ing around beating your head against the wall.  |
