Great stats todd... I do have 2 albys sorry if i said it more than once before 😁😁 In a way those are mostly luck if you are a long shooter a hio is always skill cause you actaually aiming for the pin no matter what... Yeah the alby was a 260 yard 4 iron. 1 bounce and dunk. Still takes a lot of skill to get a 4 iron to go that far. Lucky to hit my driver on pavement and still go that far. Yeah, that's about 40 yards further than I can hit a 4 iron. I do have a HIO. It was witnessed. I tend to leave out of the story that I had a double bogie the hole before. LOL I don't remember my score that day, but I remember the 158 Yard Par 3 15th hole.

LOL I don't remember my score that day, but I remember the 158 Yard Par 3 15th hole. I've had two 6 birdie rounds. One round I started bogey, double and triple. On fifth hole I had a 1 inch tap in on a par 3 and lit it up after that to shoot a 76 mind you it was constant 30 mph winds. The other rd on 18th a par 5 I laid up thinking birdie opportunity to to shoot even par 120 yards out my ball found a super hacker's divot dug halfway to China. Took an extra club and rolled it into 4 inch Kentucky Blue Grass rough. Pitched that one on to green and two putted for a very disappointing bogey. Birdie it and I shoot even. Oh well!

I can count more near misses turning into bogeys than HIO's, though I do have 1 or 2 on this version of the game..

My dad and me were golfing last year and he holed out for an albatross from 210. It was a dogleg right hole so we never saw it go in. Looked for his ball for 10 minutes before we found it in the hole.

I had an eagle hole out from like 180-ish when I was in Virginia Beach about 5-6 years ago. Spent an ample amount of time walking all over hell and back looking for the ball only to find it in the cup.

My other brother Greg's friend lives in Texas but is a member at Pinehurst and he saw it go in and was going crazy. I wasn't there but those bro's have 2 aces each. David also think it was 99 shot a 68 for a course record at Ballyowen in Sussex County NJ.

So I’m genuinely curious how many more perfects are you guys hitting on pro v master? I must have found the perfect calibration because I don’t struggle much with it. I for one believe in dialing in the calibration, but you have to do it several times in one sitting. I’m wondering if all you’ve done is make the miss box bigger and ignored the real problem. Hitting perfects on master is very doable. Just have to dial it in

Hitting perfects on master is very doable. Just have to dial it in Ya I don't hit any more on Pro. Still have the exact same polling point in the perfect window, so same amount of perfects. However, the misses on Pro are much more manageable. Pretty much every club you'll have a grey fast/slow miss (including driver), and on some of your shorter irons/wedges you might have two misses in the grey area on Pro.

Hitting perfects on master is very doable. Just have to dial it in I haven't done pro. Stayed with master. I calibrated week 1 of September. Find it hard to hit perfects 50% rate at best. Very rewarding when you do get on a roll. Just wish HB would dial back the penalty for red fasts. A 230 yd par 3 with my 4 wood that claims 218 carry, when red fast it flies 160-170 yds. Way to severe a penalty.

Just have to dial it in I'm about the same - only with Pro the 'perfect' zone is wider - so I find where I would be in the slight grey on master - is perfect on Pro.. rhino4life, I Played the CUCC data event last night - wouldn't you know it - had to take the 11 on the first hole as I got pinched up on the extreme side hill just behind a bush and could not get out - so my 2 round score will be slightly skewed.. +5 / -7 - that +5 would likely have been between -1 and -3 depending on what I 'could' have done without the mishap.. Onward!

So, rhino4life and I played two rounds of BoB last night. First round on pro difficulty. Second round (but first round again with the same settings) on master difficulty. I gave an honest effort on both rounds. My pro score: -9. 8 birdies, 1 lucky eagle and 1 bogey. FIR and GIR at 80%. Ability to get perfect tempo was less than 50% (probably 35-40%) but certainly MORE than the 2-5% I get perfect on master difficulty. It did have it's difficult moments but the threat of blowing up in a set of three holes wasn't there. Mistakes and damage (per my normal strategy) were always minimized. It was a VERY enjoyable round. My master score: +1. 3 birdies, 4 bogies. FIR at 41% and GIR at 35%. Ability to get perfect tempo was 0%. Ability to get a GRAY SLOW was probably 20%. Rest were horrible red fasts and red slows (maybe 1 or 2 very fasts?). If I hadn't had the high of a -9 previous round, I'd have probably said a few things to Dave that I'd most likely regret lol. It's just not enjoyable with the tempo roulette. Good shot off the tee, followed by a chunk pitch or flop and it just kills you. Try for perfect off the tee, red fast. Try for perfect off the tee, red slow. Try for perfect of the tee, gray slow. So, looking at a 10 stroke swing here. Also, this is indicated as an "easiest" course on 2K21. I hope you all will make an honest effort on BOTH pro and master and compare your scores. It's actually quite interesting. I told Dave let's get a second round in and look at the results after we played well on pro difficulty. A few thoughts while in my head: If next season stays at master difficulty, I think that at many times, we should probably play off of the front tees, and no courses should be longer than 7000 yards (maybe with the exception of a major). If we were playing 6700 yard courses on master difficulty, I could see this as a nice compromise. This would eliminate those 500 yard par 4's and 600 yard par 5's but also allow for many of us who can't get perfect to get that "non perfect" 250 yard drive off the tee but still be in the fairway. Yes folks, I said NOT PLAYING FROM THE TIPS EVERY DAMN ROUND. There needs to be compromise somewhere for all to enjoy playing again. Pro difficulty was VERY enjoyable but after playing one round, there was minimal scrambling, minimal damage control needed, etc. Now, again, this was an EASY course. I said to Dave that I like the concept of pro difficulty but then ramping up distance (more play from the tips), winds (more high winds) and more either super fast greens (187) or slower (144) to increase the difficulty. Many times, this will keep scoring in check but still be enjoyable for play because you don't spend your entire round in complete frustration wondering why your tempo continues to be pure crap and you're fighting for pars and bogeys rather than pars, bogeys and birdies. Last night was the first night in nearly a month where I had the desire to play a round 2 on a given night. That was because of pro difficulty.
