Just to clarify, Tyler Parra and Tyler Sauce are not the same person. Between the two of us we have all platforms covered. Good luck to my new Tour pal!

Finished -41 for the week. Made the cut but likely no promo marks. Gonna be curious to see what type of scores are going to be needed to crack the top ten each week.

I also finished -41. I got there in a slightly interesting way. I was -37 thru 3 rounds and then I went to work, and when I came back I found that the puppy had destroyed my golf controller. I have 5 controllers, one is mine, the rest the kids use plus me for other games. The dog chose this one. The bastard. So I had to play with another one and I struggled my way to a 68 in the final round. Joy.

Xboxer here. I'm indifferent of the switch from master to pro. At the end of the day, everybody has the same conditions and settings. Never played on the PS or PC, so no way for me to say the adjustments helped. I do see that some fellow Xboxers are doing well with the transition. This season feels a lot like when I first joined during TGC Season 6. Can't wait to compete again!

Decided to start up PGA21 again for the first time since January i think. abit embarrassing to say that my Fir and Gir stats so far isn't much better at pro than it was on master lol, 65% Fir in R1 a couple of bad 3-putts, but got a couple of lucky putts as well so wasn't a disaster on the greens. Not sure if they made some putt changes as well during the year because i had decent length control with the putter despite every putt being pure guesses.(at least i didnt send any putts off the green these rounds, (did have a couple that only got half way to the hole tho), dont have high expectations lol) Definitely got more stable round for round so there is still some hope, just gotta fall down a couple of divisions first 65-64-63-59 (R4 really should have been a 56 but ofc that doesn't matter as im assuming ill miss the cut anyways) im 50/50 when it comes to the settings, kinda like playing on pro instead, but really not a fan of having to go 4x55 to be competitive. But if its more fair between the platforms thats a good thing, now HB just needs to remove the putting buzzer so us mouses have it fair aswell Good luck this week fellow CCers

Lucky us in CCA this week, we get to play 'Beat the Designer'! A man who knows every nook and cranny of this course, I'm always interested to see how they do. It's a very well done course aron7, even on these settings much more of a challenge than last week. I've played the first two. Managed to settle on a non dog chewed controller that I think I can use. Tee to green is ok but I'm not overly confident putting with it and it showed with a couple of 3-putts in the first round. First round was a struggle after a decent start, tempo was a bit sketchy too. But second round it clicked, no dropped shots, a couple of chip ins and a really nice birdie eagle finish that I think will see me playing two more rounds. 67 and 59 for -18 at the cut. It's been a couple of games since I've shared a leaderboard with Mark Custard! Might be the last time for a couple more games too...

Hello mate, I should know the course well I suppose 🤣 I'm currently -22 at the cut so not too bad

Well I certainly won't be beating the designer. Third round was one of those where anything that could go wrong generally did. Looks like I'll scrape through the cut thanks to that good second round, but I'm likely to be in last place of those who did. Round 4 will be just playing for pride and the enjoyment of the course.

Two -10 this week, played OK but burnt a few edges. Couldn't get to grips with the par 3s at all, I think I got par on them all!!!! -20 at the cut and I think that may not be enough this week

Struggled my way to a 64 in the first round. Spent the first 4 holes hitting red fasts off the tee and was +1 at that point, got that together a bit afterwards but never once got a feel for the green speeds. My putting has been a strong point recently but today I was either hitting them past the top edge or leaving them a foot short. I'll need to get in to the 50's to have any chance of two more rounds I think. Basically exactly the same position I was in last week! Perhaps I should stop going in so cold...

Had fun on this course, even tho my swing still needs to loose some rust i was shockingly stable on the greens, not quite sure where that came from, but hey im not complaining. apart from some trouble in R2 that almost looked like it would cost me the cut, im very happy with my rounds. 59-64-59-61 I expected some quick demotions getting back but starting to get hopes up that i might be able to hold on to A for alittle longer atleast.
then i noticed the promo event so decided to jump on that while i still felt hot and wow, suddenly there was red fasts and slows everywhere and managed to do my patented "smash a putt of the green" on the first bloody green. talk about getting back to earth lol, every hole seemed to have a different tempo. after R2 i decided to try some holes on another course and suddenly tempo was OK again so went back to promo event but was all over the place yet again. Might need to have a look at the graphics settings, or it was just nerves? felt abit pointless after a R1 69

63, 67, 62, 57 to finish -39 and maybe a top 50? I'll take that after scraping through the cut on the number. Played well on the weekend, bar a bit of a ricket on 18 in round 3 which cost me a couple. A good tournament is in me somewhere.....
I've seen some criticism of the course but I liked it. One green I wasn't a fan of, long par 3 on the back where the green slopes front to back, you just know shot 2 is going to be a chip! But some fun slopes to use and some top notch environmental work, especially the retaining walls. Tip of the cap for that.

Ugh. 61 and 63 to get to -20 at half way and a comfortably made cut. Another 61 in the 3rd round to put myself in position to make a run at a promo mark. Birdied the first in round 4 and then the wheels came off. Limped home with a very disappointing 72 and another middle of the pack finish.
A few pretty borderline naughty pins, especially in round 2, and I'm sorry but I think the graveyard in the middle of the 17th fairway is plain stupid. Shame because otherwise it's a really solid course.
