Hello.
It looks like I will make my first cut this week after having missed 7 in a row! Unfortunately, I had to split my rounds, though, so I can only report that I'm sitting at -15 through 2 rounds. Tempo has finally been really good for the first time in weeks. A few putting mistakes kept me from going lower in round 1 (-3). In contrast, I managed to put together a selection of very fine approaches in round 2 (-12).
Cheers and good luck all!

Fwiw I would definitely enjoy a course that falls more closely to the “I could see this being an irl course” category instead of the heavy weighting to super arcadey courses we’ve had lately. Doesn’t mean any of those are bad, just waiting for the week when it feels like I’m playing irl golf in a video game and not just player pure video game golf in an arcade, if that makes sense. Doesn’t mean it has to be either way, just an opinion - and one that likely won’t be relevant in a few weeks when I’m out of here for a lower tier, so grain of salt and all... I appreciate your take! Understandable that everyone has different opinions. I was already thinking the same thing

After finishing R1 +1, I was ready to come and write my goodbyes to Plat as I'm sitting on 3 demo marks. The sad thing was, in R1 I actually played well tee to green, but had 30 putts! Then after a bogey on 11 in R2 (for the second time in as many rounds, might I add, after putting shot 2 in the water thanks to those magnets at the bottom of the ponds) put me back at +1 with 7 holes to go, I knew I was done for and decided to speed through the next few holes. Well... apparently the secret is to completely stop caring. I went on to play the last 7 holes -7, including a hole in one on Hole 15. Here's the video, as you can see I was playing FAST: onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=C78645A5944A8AA4&resid=C78645A5944A8AA4%211609&authkey=AKNSnGls5ETnnnUSo after that crazy stretch, I now sit at -6 through 2, which I imagine should be good enough to only pick up 1 (or maybe 0) demo marks. Onto next week, can't get rid of this Xboxer just yet!

Set a new personal tgctours record in rd 1! Went in the water not once, not twice,...but three times in rd 1 🥉 Probably lucky to be -5 with as bad as putted too. Then of course go -12 in rd2.

Haven't been able to make a cut since the RF changes, but I also have played every week and have managed not to get demoted. So I'm pretty happy with that. I was really frustrated at first by the whole situation, but things have now gotten better since I accepted what we've got and adjusted my goals.

I'm stacked with work at the moment, but I played a few rounds in the week to see how the course played and I fell in love. I made some time last night and jumped into my platinum rounds. -13 at the cut which means I get to play 2 more on this cracking course! Q A brilliant pick this week. The first two rounds played so well. The first round in particular was very challenging, and I knew that I just had to get through those holes to put myself into a position for the second. I think that's the first time I had that mindset on this game and I loved it! Brilliant stuff. InYourRearview - I have to compliment you on a brilliant erroft here. The vision to had to create this is superb. What I liked the most were the number of strategic layers that you had. I found myself hitting 3 wood off quite a few tees as I knew that being in position on the fairway was optimal for me. But the temtping options you have are excellent. Furthermore the greens played great and again being in the wrong quadrant of the green was a real possiblility so maximum concentration needed there too. I think this might have edged into my top 10. That's a huge compliment from me as I really only like to play and design as realistic as possible courses. I've run out of superlatives

I've now made 4 cuts and got rid of all 4 demo marks since the red fast was eradicated. I'm not challenging for any victories by any means, but I'm glad to be consistently playing 4 rounds again. Now I'm trying to to crack the top 20. Maybe next week.

I had some trouble holing out before reaching the stroke limit. Oh well, on to next week.
