Difficult go for me this week and another missed cut. Had a decent R1 at -6 followed up by a poor R2 at -4. Missed a bunch of scoring opportunities and have no one to blame but myself (and Cottyuk). On to next week where I continue my goal of making a cut on the platinum tour! Weeks in Plat: 2 Cuts made: 0

Called it in my head when I finished round 2, as the cut moved to -14 with me missing by one. Makes the three putt bogey from 25' on the 4th in round 1 even more painful... Oh well, it's still not a horrible result on my return to Platinum.

Finished at -45
The good: closed out the event with 10 straight birds The bad: 3-putt on 17 from 15’ R3 The ugly: water ball on 5 R4
Should’ve been 3 better, but doubt it’d matter anyway.
Edit: Maybe it would matter now?!

I played red fasts exclusively just for fun to learn how it affects the clubs, what I could achieve with it, etc. It was supposed to be a short experiment, 2-3 weeks. I might have even gone back to perfects mostly when my new PC came in next week.
Guess HB heard I was playing red fasts so they pushed the changes. -16 at the cut for now. (was -19 but lmfao double bogey adventure along the way at the end.)
I pressed advance accidentally. So now I'm locked into red fast clubs for round 3. Prepare to hear I was even at best for Round 3 xd
Excited for the changes. This week is not worth even thinking about final results since some people will have played before changes, and some after. So if I end up lower on the leaderboard I don't mind this week!

Who knows how many demotion marks I'm setting at. I couldn't find the will to play my last two rounds over the past months, even after making the cut. It's a little deflating to know the time you put into to hitting perfects is just hindering you lol. This whole red fast thing might give me the motivation to play again. I hope as a community we just perfect the tempo now.. instead of finding the next hack to make it easier. It seems apparent that's the way HB studios intends for the game to be played. This is the top tour on the game, after all. It's ok if it's hard.
It may not be the popular opinion, nor do I want to be controversial.. but it is what it is.

If you didn't finish your rounds, you'll be in Elite next week unfortunately. You'll be back in 2 weeks though. You're an insane player, and we're all going to be in pursuit of that tempo. I hope. It is possible to still "map out" all the red fasts and still play it, but it will have been nerfed severely as a pretty aggressive red fast loses out on a lot more yardage compared to barely red fast.

Rd3 complete no fasts.
Hell this is easier I thought think I was 5 under through 6/7. Onto the back 9 fairways a bit trickier approaches a bit tricker.
Finished 3 under for the rd damn.
Enjoyed it though

I've thoroughly enjoyed this week - both playing and watching. Thanks to everyone for the kind words regarding the course so far. I thought the set-up used by Q was brilliant. The first two round played so differently with those wind conditions, and although the fairways are wide, the very firm conditions really brought the fairway undulations into play and narrowed everything. It was also a plasure to play round 3 in v high winds, which are rarely used but really added to the tournament. In fact, a big shout out to Q who is systematically running through a number of conditions in recent weeks (a tough putting tournament followed by a difficult driving one, and now very high winds). I think this intellegent approach and analysis of how players perform under these conditions are excellent for tailoring future events. In terms of my play - I could have performed so much better, but isn't that the case every week. -17 at the turn, and a -33 finish will have me thinking of the vast amount of putts that were missed once again. If I am to compete with the best, this part of my game must improve. Due to knowing the fairways intimately, I managed to miss only one fairway all week! A very positive aspect, but again highlighting how bad I am with the other areas of the game. Thank to everyone that has made this week so amazing for me. I enjoyed the hell out of your course this week. Even better playing the last 2 rounds yesterday after the red fast update. It made some holes daunting. It made me basically play for par on a few holes, especially when I ended up missing the fairway. I actually played -15 in the first 2 rounds pre-update and then somehow played -7 on the Very High Winds before some missed tempos and mental errors in R4 ended in a -3 round. I cannot wait to see what will happen the next month or so. I am happy to be on the side of the Perfect (Helped by the fact I play on PS) and we will see what will happen at Avondale

Avondale American.
You do know you can just go into the society in-game and look at the schedule for yourself?

Think that’s a second best R4 58 for dangotank post update? That’s a hell of a round to beat those (including myself) who had the benefit of having played earlier. We’ll see if it holds but either way well played!

Very well played Chris Adams! Incredible final round post-update, a well-deserved win!

Prophecy is fulfilled. Even round 3 because of the gimped 0 forgiveness bag xd. -6 round 4 was a bit better. Could have played better but I need to re-dial in my perfect distances on my clubs and how they play in the wind. I feel pretty dang good about the update, and most places I can shoot nearly as low as before. Shot -40 in CC rounds for last week's happy tee friends post-update, and that would have been quite a good tournament pre-update, especially since a lot of Par 5s on that course were 600 yards and up, with very long approaches on Par 4s.
However, pressure is a thing in my official Plat rounds. Will be fun suddenly feeling that pressure on every shot instead of just approaches. Wonderful changes.
And of course....I still need to learn how to putt.
Oh and go watch Dangotank's vod on Twitch if y'all wanna see just how he did that last round with perfects only. He's going to be a top tier player for a long time...
