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! Congrats on the ace!

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 Thanks so much Cottyuk ! I really appreciate the nice words and happy that you enjoyed the course so much. I appreciate the strategy acknowledgement as I put a lot of thought behind that during my build. Good luck with your next two rounds!

Good luck with your next two rounds! I love extremely difficult courses that make me think a ton. Yes, scoring was really tough, and there were a few "oh @!$# off" bounces into the rough, but even then I really appreciated how you built it. Tough greens you really had to think about where exactly you wanted to land it for the easiest putt possible. You did a good job even if this type of course isn't everyone's cup of tea.

I too really enjoyed the course so interesting. Just my game was not good enough.

Have never been a fan of the RCR courses, so I guess I'll never understand the 'fantasy' complaints. We are playing a video game after all. That said, I can appreciate balancing some of the RCR's into the tour. When they're done well they're really fun, and matching up with the Tour event in real life can be interesting.

Agree re the course, one of the more fun ones we’ve played recently. Also might’ve said something different if I played terribly 😂

Won't be in my favorite though. I'm not in an hurry to play it again! 😂 The IRL/Fantasy debate is not very exciting. I won't lie that I would like to see a more balanced schedule between courses type. I'm in Plat since February and correct me If I'm wrong, but we haven't played any pure europeean links course since I'm there... I think 15-20% of tournaments should be played on links. Fantasy or not, idc!

Struggled like heck but I had a great time with the course. Definitely should have shot better, and I really need to stop getting blow up holes. I'll take a top 25 though!
Grats to Loveskud for an insane victory. 3 PC winners in a row, I thought ps4 was op???

Somehow managed my 3rd top 25 of the season?!?
Back to grinding to make cuts and getting this last demo mark erased.

Keep grinding and stay confident and your time to shine is coming. THanks as well Brodie. It seems like every week we're battling in Plat and TST which I very much enjoy. Keep up the great play!
