Thought I'd pander to my OCD and set up threads for the CC divisions for Season 8.
Hopefully they'll be plenty to chat about, build rivalries, brag and moan and groan. May the cut be in your favour.
Good luck.

And this is my starting point personally. Up, down or stagnate? Whoever knows now we've changed over to Pro swing.
Suffered but never conquered Master and ended up here. Enjoy Pro as my game is mainly for fun. Good luck fellow G-Blockers. Have a great season.

Kinda bummed to see four scores in the 50s already with a lot of people not having teed off yet. I guess this was expected with the settings changes, but I enjoyed playing on Master and having to concentrate on every shot and grind to post a good score. I shot 64 in the first round and felt like I barely tried. Last season I would have been over the moon with a 64 in the opening round and I'd be hoping to contend for the win. Now it looks like three more 64's won't even get me close to a promotion mark.

-9 first round. Only -3 with 5 to play so needed to pull finger out. Like it but some scores I could only dream of really.

Driving on some courses wont be as straightforward with no elevation assistance . I'm playing in a society that often doesn't even give you the marker at all and it's great fun so nothing spoiling

Never worried much about the elevation on drives before so not missing it now!! As long as you've got elevation to pin you can pretty much judge what happens inbetween.

I had a decent 1st Round of -10. I left a few out on the table with putts.
Pro Swing is no doubt less frustrating. And you still have to make good approach shots. Proximity is the key for me. I’ll hit my drives with ease but my approach shots will be a little off and then have to save the Par at times…..

2nd rd -10.
Polar opposite to first round as only one bird on last 5 holes this time. Most work done on front 9.

Was happy with 3 rounds.
Rd 1 62(-10) Rd 2 62(-10) Rd 3 71 (-1) Rd 4 62-(10)
-31
In round 3 for some reason I lost my tempo a little and started to drift to the right and proximity was bad and had very few easy birdie opportunities. Putting was shaky as well….
Overall, happy with 1st tourney of the season! Good luck to all with the rest of your rounds….

Doesn't look like my -36 will even earn a promo mark. Looking at some cut throat competition this season where every missed putt will hurt. Should make it a lot of fun because there will be loads of players in with a shout each week.
Should be especially interesting when the 400 players from qualifying land in the tours!!

Agree 100%with putting and competition…..My 3rd round ended it for me. I started my 3rd round with a freaking 7 on Hole 1, and carded a 6 on Hole 3 and was +4 after 3 in that 3rd round. I played ok for 15 holes as I shot -7 in 15 holes and +6 on 3 holes, which resulted in the 71(-1) My point is that you cannot have a bad round with competition getting stronger after the qualifying players get put into their proper tiers….This will be fun for me…The more the competition the better for the tours. I never played prior to last season but from what I’ve been reading is this Pro setting is like how the previous game played.

3rd round -3 after 2 early 3 putt bogeys killed me. I've said in society before that I just cant putt on 187s. Also I cant hold the ball , just trundles on. Work to do on that.

My favorite green speeds are 163. I like 187’s at times when I’m hot with the putter as the 187 speed kills the break, but when the putter is cold and have 187s it can get brutal out there.
