Welcome to The Plat Tour Championship this week at an absolutely stunning mountain ravine course by SindreRev , currently this course is in the top 8 on the World cup of Design contest and I think you'll agree, the eyecandy and the difficulty here is fantastic. There are some absolutely brutal greens and it's very easy to have a blow up hole here so be careful out there, there's some scary cliffs (and bridges) that you definitely want to avoid falling off of This mirrors a certain Major in PGA golf this week! There even was a Qualifier last week so 5 other players have qualified for this event! Watch out as they just shot amazingly after taking down another difficult plat level course last week and I fully expect some of them are definitely future plat players anyways! after the most recent update we'll have to see just how hard this course plays!

Hopefully we don't get the finalizing glitch this week because that would have me demoted to Elite. I had a good first two rounds here (for me) at -7 and -8. That is safe from any demotion marks and I have no idea what that is when looking at the cut line.
At any rate I am just trying to survive up here and I wish anyone with rounds yet to play good luck!
Edit: I "think" I eagled the 14th hole in both rounds! It's the little things...

Still here... 😎😎😎
Played really well but putter hurt me in round 1 and overconfidence in round 2; was -9 for the round on the tee of the short par 4 and instead of consolidating I went for the green... slow, water, no drop option other than back to the tee... double bogey. I am soooo stubborn... 😂😂😂
-8 & -9 for -17 halfway
Cut watching?
Good luck all! Frans

Well I felt this week was a tougher setup than previous weeks, so given I've tied fransslabak at -17 after two rounds, I'd be hopeful that makes the cut (maybe with a shot or two to spare?) Mostly kept the silly stuff off the card - although flopping it up the hill....and back to my feet on one of the par 5's didn't help. Then started R4 wierdly - had 176 ish, into a decent wind to the front pin - so used my 176 club, a fraction of de-loft - expecting there to be no chance of it going more than a couple of yards past (and then the slope might help) - but somehow carried it nearly 190 (and then it bounced forward). Now that left an impossible putt......which comfortably rolled off the green (at pace!) as though I was at 9 at Augusta. 34 yards left......then 35 yards after the next shot (up and back to my feet). Made an amazing up and down for double! -8 -9 -9 -7 -33 total - comfortably my best effort for a long time.

Week 37 is the correct one - I'd told Matt at one point that it would move to 45, and then changed my mind Might need to edit the conditions down a bit easier though
Or maybe a couple of VH wind with VF*3 ground condition rounds just for Frans

-8 after 2 rounds.....the best I have played by far since the latest tempo update. Only left one in the greenside bunker. Some tough bugger par 4's into the wind and greens were "fun". Very enjoyable to play a beautiful looking course and shoot under par.

Had a pretty normal tourney through 3 rounds and then pin on #1 round 4 made me lose my damn mind. Took a couple drivers off the green later in the round and may not be playing for a while.

Really, really hope to make the cut because I played solid in rounds 3 & 4: -10 & -11 for a -38 finish and easily my best score, considering the course and conditions, in Platinum to date - and yes, that includes the pre-nerf era... Good luck to all yet to finish, Frans

What a fooking nightmare. I sucked today, I was at -7 on the 17th of the 2nd round. My ball was stucked in rocks on the left. Could not hit it, could not take a drop. Had to skip the hole. Was so frustrated, decided to skip the 18th too. Gimme those 2 marks

Hello. I am having big troubles staying away from red misses since last Thursday's update. As my scores show, my swing has become very streaky. There are times where I hit perfect on every shot, and then, it's like a switch, boom, costly red misses all over. Since I barely played last Thursday and Friday, it first showed on Saturday in a matchplay tournament. I played okayish right thereafter, so I thought my swing issues came from being nervous (the match was streamed) and choking. However, that can't be the only reason, since all my recent society scores fluctuate heavily. I am having a very hard time finding a setup that works for both full shots and other shot types. While I recalibrated about 3 times since the game came out prior to the latest patch, I am averaging 3 calibrations per day since last Saturday. Thus, until I find a way to fix my swing, it's all about avoiding demo marks. Cheers and good luck all!

I either miss the cut by one or two or I make the cut and finish basically dead last among those that make it and clear a strike.
Either way I have done "better" than my last 5-6 weeks I guess. Good luck to all with rounds yet to play!
