My first week in CC-E looks to be awful. 72-67 to have me at -3 through the first two rounds. I don't think I make the cut with that and nor should I. Made a relatively straight forward course look very tough. I didn't play a practice round which cost me on the 16th, when I flushed a perfect drive into the OB area where I was aiming.............. (double bogey - yay) Timing was way off particularly with driver, and on this course its pretty important to have the big stick going well to post a good score. Basically I just rushed my preparation and gameplay, and paid the price. I was too angry to just wait until Thursday to see if I made the cut, so I decided to play my 3rd round after putting some effort into my driving beforehand. Worked a treat as I was -7 through the round after 9 holes. Finished with a 62 (-9). My only bogey came on the 16th where I didnt get on the green in regulation. Fluffed a pitch then two putted. Shows you what a bit of work before the actual tournament can do. Oh well, only a week away from doing it all again.

I didn't have a problem with the game setting me up OB, and you can see the stakes there, so it should be a bit obvious. And it was nice to have a week with absolutely no lag. On the other hand, you may as well come to my house and smash my TV screen if we're going to keep playing dawn/dusk overcast rounds. HB needs to add an LED ball and glow sticks for those conditions.

I think the appropriate question is why in the hell did this designer put a fairway right along the hole as OB, and then to add insult to injury make the aim point directly down the OB fairway? Cheap "gotcha" trick Probably because it’s out of bounds in real life It appears in real life that area is grown in and NOT fairway

WHY DID I NOT READ THIS BEFORE I PLAYED MY FIRST ROUND?? I think the appropriate question is why in the hell did this designer put a fairway right along the hole as OB, and then to add insult to injury make the aim point directly down the OB fairway? Cheap "gotcha" trick Oh it got me.....I shoot 66 in round 1 and then a 10 on Hole 16 and a 76 and now out of the tourney because of one freaking hole. I blame myself but still like to complain a little.....lol. Now I can’t remember if that right fairway was open for round 1 but changed to OB for round 2....I could of sworn I was on that fairway for round 1? Maybe not, that hole really has messed up my week, lol....the designer is no doubt looking at scores if he or she plays TGC and looking at Hole 16.....he will see a 10 for me, lol.

I don’t look for stakes....I tend to play fast now but will now look for stakes after that.

16 Green is a joke! Final round hit a 10 on there going off one side to the other! Cocked my 4 rounds up on that 1 hole!

First sign of life since the update.
RD1: 61 RD2: 66 RD3: 62 RD4: 62
I have 3 demotions in CC-B so this is great! I got my controller to stop hitching and randomly disconnecting in my downswing. I unplugged the Oculus, lol. I have original one that has 3 USB sensors and a USB headset, so that interferes with the USB power or something.

Got off too a steady start round 1 and putting was a little nervy and missed some silly putts but managed a -6 so just need to not do anything stupid round 2 and reach my goal of simply making cuts in C. Good luck everyone 👍

After struggling with my swing basically ever since the game came out and even more after I switched to PS5 and they released the update, I think I'm finally getting a feel for it. Still missing quite a lot of shots but at least the misses are manageable now.

I wrote it because I also wish someone told me before hand haha.. It always seems something like that gets me as I start gaining momentum too... It got me too!! replying with the quote here in hopes that others will see this before they play!
Also, beware of those little low walls that seem to run everywhere! Don't be this guy! hahah.
I have read your post upfront, but I had the exact same situation during round 2. I think I was on the same spot, too

4 rounds of awful front 6 and scraping back over the last 12.
You'd think I would learn.

Still missing quite a lot of shots but at least the misses are manageable now. The problem is everybody wants to shoot -10 every round or where doing it prior. The were clapped and gave up too soon….it is manageable and just takes practice to get tempo somewhat figured out….but overall they could have probably turned the dial back slightly with the updates with punishment for bad tempo.

Ouch.... -6/+3/+1/E. No joke, I took a 4 hour break between R1 and R2, and when I came back, almost every shot came out VERY FAST or RED FAST. R2 first tee shot went 138 yards. It was quicksand. Not sure, but around East Berlin I finally stuck a fairway. Shut down the game till today, where I took some practice and played a couple of Olympic Rounds before I went for it. Tempo was on point (except 3 shots to get out of the side bunker on 4, and a flubbed 100 yard pitch (not sure why I even fricking tried it when it was perfect SW distance)), just couldn't sink putts, lipping a half dozen and leaving another half dozen 6" short... brutal. It was weird, the joystick was operating very slow and controlled. Then, on R4 Hole 14, my batteries died! When I replaced, I had to relearn a whole new swing and crapped the bed the rest of the way...

Hole 16 everyone be real careful the game lines you up right off the T box out of bounds got me for a couple strokes.. I think this is a serious design flaw on an otherwise nice course. Why on earth would anyone do that? I don’t understand the logic of this fairway cut grass being OB. Even if I hit a ball on the fairway of another hole it’s still playable.
