It's interesting reading this, and seeing how so many folks can have such a wide experience with lag on the same course, even within the same console. When we rangered this one, the original course had really bad lag for me on my old PS4 - the console fan was the loudest I'd ever heard it before. The updated (T) version had just some minor lag, but it was much better for me. So it's curious to see others on PS4 still having lag problems. But as we ranger other courses, it seems like my older PS4 is more prone to lag than others. I am also beginning to see that the lighting with long shadows has just as much impact on lag as planting of tall grasses and trees. The courses on which I get the most lag are ones where the sun is low and long shadows are prevalent. Just interesting to observe...and it's a bummer to hear that folks are still dealing with lag on this one. in addition to shadows (which is something you can control rendering quality on when playing on a PC), I suspect part of the lag is caused because it’s a society event. I played a few holes just now on my PS4 using plat R1 weather conditions and didn’t have any lag…but then played the same few holes on plat society and ran into lag in a few spots. Given that the game is updating the server in real time on every aspect of the shot (aim, club, shot type, wind direction/speed, shot power, direction, and result), it wouldn’t surprise if some courses that are “on the edge” during ranger testing go over the edge in a society event due to additional data transfer.

Quite gutted by the finish this week. Had it -43 through 11 in the final round (I think -8 thru 11). Then, the game froze and eventually crashed. After I finally got loaded back in I managed to red fast my next two drives (first red fasts of the whole tournament..) and one resulted in a bogey. Pretty much took the wind out the sails at that point. -45 total. I played terrible on the back 9 of R1 and all of R2, so I guess I couldn't expect much.

Hello.
A stellar back 9 in R2 might be just enough to get rid of a demo mark. With rounds of -5 and -13, I'm sitting at -18 halfway through. I stopped there since it has become rather difficult for me lately to play all four rounds in one session.
Cheers and good luck all!

Great shooting Cooks - -2 on the F9 R3 and -2 on the B9 R4 did me in. Shot -8 on both the other 9s. Had an 8’ birdie putt on 16 R4 that just missed and ran 50’ off the green, kind of summed up that back 9.

Amazing course. Overread every putt. -19 after 2. 18ft proximity round 2, 44% one putt. Yeah. Missed every 12 footer and they were not hard. Embarrassing. Hopefully can bounce back round 3 and 4.
Edit: on a side note, holy guacamole my tempo is insanely good on ps5. Like, just almost everything at worst slightly grey fast or slow. Just need to get over bad habits from putting on PC where moving grids meant it broke a decent amount most of the time

Really nice course. I didn't experience the same lag other ps4 players have said they've had. Started with 4 birdies in the first 6 holes. Followed it up with a bogey and an unknown water ball on the short par 3. Ended round 1 -3 with another bogey on 16. Didn't make another bogey the rest of the rounds, but my -10 will most likely be nowhere near the cut line

Will be taking at least a week break from this game. Because of busy times at work, I had to play all my rounds for various societies yesterday, and the game would just not cooperate. Then I come on here and read Cody_Vols_2331 's message about how his first two red fasts of the entire tournament were in R4 (shitty luck though mate)... I know you're all probably sick of the sour grapes, but the game on XB is killing my soul. I'd be lucky to go 5 swings without a red fast, and I think I'm one of the best there is on the console lol... Anyways, all my bad tempo results seemed to find hazards this week; -4 at the cutline, 2 demos on my way! See you all next week I guess.

Legit feels like I forgot how to play the game the last few weeks.
Frustrated is an understatement.

Welp, definitely not doing the overconfidence card after the disaster of last week. But at least I didn’t lose anything WGR wise. Funny enough, I played a skins match on this course and didn’t seem to find much lag. Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention who knows. But time to hopefully start another weekend streak! 62-63 means -19. Should be enough for another weekend. 🤙

Ego got the best of me this week. I was going to skip this week after reading about some of the lag issues and my struggle with tempo when playing in online mode, but a decent performance in some societies got the best of me and I loaded up plat...what a mistake. This course was trash for anyone that struggles with the server issues. Tempo was an absolute crapshoot combined with the lag on this course. If you didn't do 10 practice swings to figure out the tempo on each hole you didn't stand a chance. Are the "ranger" plays done in any kind of online mode? I feel like that's important.

When I ranger the courses, I play them as a local match, but the game is always online and connected to the servers - you wouldn't be able to play any course that's created by anyone else if you weren't. We always call out lag in our plays and out reviews (hence the reason this course had to have a tour version that was replanted). But it might be coming clearer that a course plays differently in a society than it does when you play it in other ways. We try our best to make sure these courses play well. If we see lag, we report it. But if the mode you play determines how a course is presented, that's something that's not really tested at this point.

Might be worth setting up a dummy society to test future courses and get some more feedback since the game seems to play so differently between modes. I've experienced both sides (to the bad side this week) and to the easier side before on I think Resmando Match Club where some people said the course was pretty much unplayable and I didn't have that much trouble. Of course I was a red fast player then so I had more leeway on forgiveness. The game being so much more tempo dependent now really changes things.
