I think I'm -15 thru 2 rds. My tempo was pretty good...except on the tee box of any par 5 it seems like. Not sure why that is, but if I could have played o.k. on the par 5s I'd be really happy with it.
Side note....I am getting a large number of swings in the 93-98 percent range the last 2 days...its odd as I was always around 101 every shot. Anybody else coming across this?

I've been getting a lot of 93% pitches that come up woefully short. Not for normal shots though.

I've had no issues with 93% swings bmells33, maybe your controller? Or try a reset? I've played the first two. I've got to stop being over par after 3 holes, that's now 4 rounds in a row in this society! I recovered much better this week though. Only things keeping me off the top of the early leaderboard was a poor double at 7 in the second round and then bad tempo and not getting up and down at the 36th hole. Tucked in one shot behind Ben at half way, I'll take that. It was a strange round really, tempo off the tee was not great but I hit some really good long approaches and chipped in a few times, including this beauty.

Lol, that post is laced with sarcasm. But the hdcp is an indicator of how well you been playing lately. Obviously i am not a +86 hdcp. I’m not an advocate of the handicap system and I know it’s flaws but I’m up to +51 again. The last time I was at that level was in my halcyon days when I was a dirty dirty red faster, you know the good ol’days. You dirty, zero integrity, not playing the game as intended former player. Shameful you bring up your past debauchery again!

I picked up the Series S last night. Really the Flight Simulator pushed me to get it. Saturday I will start playing golf on it. I'm sure I'll regress at the start but look forward to it.

I actually did a partial pitch from around that same area....I think I was closer to 30yards out. Great shot.

I am working my way around with my instructor pilot too. I did all of that over the weekend. Took a bit to figure out what she wanted to do sometimes. Took me several tries to takeoff and land properly (term used loosely) and she always said could use some improvement. Anyone get far enough into this where you can pick a airport takeoff location instead of using the list? For grins i setup a takeoff from Orlando and just kind of flew around to see if i could see Disney. Never did find it and finally just crashed the plane to get this overwith.

Demon the Chipmaster appreciates a good chip.

Hi, it looks like I’ve been removed, would like to be back if you can do it, I know new season has started, I did inform you I couldn’t complete last time due to being in hospital then recovering, if not this season bear me in mind for next, cheers 👍

Make sure you download all the terrain packs they are in the free section, plus other stuff. I just picked a random grassy airfield that’s near my real location and just flew into London and around the south coast of England. The air traffic controller talks to me and I just ignore him and land in some random airfield. ..GTA style.

Damn, that's the same line I used on my wife 36 years ago.
