DirtBags Reboot Season 4

[abowidow5712]

Shot a disspointing +1 in Rd 3 and a suprising -5 in Rd 4. Had two eagles in that round including my first hole in one in the game.

Reporting in for the last rounds, not bad this week!

Round 3: -5 (67). Good putting round, very nice eagle on the 7th. 2 bogeys at the front, and everything else was completely down to slightly missed tempos. This was what I've been looking for. Sure, fairways and greens are not even close to being there (50%, 39%), but pretty steady and very few real mistakes of my own. Happy with this one and for once it's actually good enough for some points!

Round 4: -3 (69). Drove to an eagle with an almost 32 foot putt on the 10th. That's about it for the good stuff, putting was not sharp enough this round and thus I dropped some strokes away. Mostly to gain something, rarely to lose anything. Only 2 bogeys, one due to hitting water. Wasn't beating -10 but I could have gotten close with some better putting.

-9 for the week. Been tasked with a broken confidence for a few weeks now, this is what I like to see! Sure it's not great but being under par 3 out of 4 rounds for the first time in a while feels nice! Let's go 4 for 4 next week, eh?

4th round -1

I was -4 at the turn and feeling good tempo. Then out of nowhere, I red fasted a ball into the water at 11 and made a double bogey. Just started looking for the 19th hole.

Unusual hole of the tourney for me. Don't remember the hole # but I was around 70yds out and hit a great shot that clanked off the pin and went off the green. I was facing a 12' chip for par and drained it. Maybe the golf gods even felt sorry for me after my bad luck.

Rd 4....+3.

6 birds as well. Game killing me at minute but just soldier on.

weird final round for me, three eagles on the scorecard but only a -3 as everything else was no bueno. Had an early hole out from a fairway bunker that just caught the exact right break to the pin, like there was a magnet. Had a traditional one on another par 5 and then hit a splash in from another bunker on the last. Better lucky than good in this one I guess!

Rd 3 (-4) 7 birdies and 1 eagle offset by drives in the water on #6 and #11 for double bogies and bogey on #9.
Rd 4 (-8) 7 birdies and 1 eagle, with a bogey on #16.

The score sheet is up to date. It looks like Snott Losing has the Palmer Division wrapped up, but with The American Boys only having 1/2 point on the Ballz Week 7 will tell the tale. Everybody play their best; I know this season has been a trying one with the Tempo fidgets and people having lives, so I appreciate all your efforts to keep going to the end.

Kicking off the week a little more encouraged. Played pretty solidly except for a quad in round 2 where I put my tee shot into the drink on the 2nd twice with red fasts. Once is acceptable, twice is just plain stupid.

Round 1 -7
Round 2 -2

Screen juddery, tempo all over the shop compared to earlier. Convinced it's sometimes down to when you play that determines your tempo. Last time I play Sunday evening UK time.

There is something broken with this game, not the swing mechanics, I'm fine with them, but no way should my tempo change so much compared to a few hours earlier. Get them bloody hamsters running faster HB!!

For the record....

Round 3 -2
Round 4 +8 (swam rather than walked)

Farewell Dirtbags. Thank you for having me. I'm sure our paths will cross in TGCT World.

To everyone...
Our losses have been hard in numbers as well as quality D-bags. But, after all, it is just a video game and should be played to be enjoyed. I will miss all those not returning. The process of rebuilding is going to be tough and I will need your help with possible replacements. I will not be available next week due to my wife's surgery so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks Bill

Sorry for the late reply. I’m still in but I’ll be also getting married in July and taking a honeymoon closely after. I’ll definitely miss the middle two weeks go July.

I played my practice round tonight. This is one of those courses that's gonna annoy a lot of guys. It's mostly very well-built. The sculpting is excellent, aside form the greens which are not receptive at all. Also, the green sizes are extremely inconsistent with some very small greens and at least one green that is way too big. The thing that'll drive a lot of players crazy are the trees. They're in the way - often. Working the ball here is key, and that's not easy these days with the new swing mechanics. When I had a run of holes with good tempo, I made birdies. When I had some red swings (either way), I hit balls in the water or in other bad places.

So, with a lot on the line for my guys, it's all about good tempo this week. That, and course management. There are shortcuts around the extreme doglegs, but be careful. Trying to be cute and then hitting a red fast will be very costly here. Good luck everyone!
