Nice to see so many people back for the new season. Scores in the first two rounds being so low is expected with low winds and lighter conditions. Things will change as the season progresses. Thought a birdie fest early on would lead to some encouragement and willingness to fight on. Just finished putting in the first four weeks in the in game schedule, and laid out plenty of challenge along the way I think. Good luck as we approach the first cut line of the season! Thank you! Not a fan of tricking up courses and conditions to compensate for pro diff.

-15 in the third round, not going as well in the last round though, not finding the pins as easy to get at despite the low wind speed.

Finished my rounds on the Xbox -12, -16, -10, -16 for a score of -54. Round 3 was disappointing it started ok but I was 10% below my accuracy with both fir and gir compared to the other 3 rounds. Overall though pleased with the score hopefully I might sneak in for a promotion mark

138 participants this week and the cut line is currently all the way up at -21 with the low winds in rounds 1 and 2.
Our average cut line last season was around -12, with the hardest cut line of the entire season to make being -16. Will definitely take this as a learning point and move forward, but I don't ever want to try and fight birdies with clown conditions if they don't fit the course. If this season's cuts are between -16 and -22 every week instead of between -10 and -16 I'm good with it.

Totally agree Wes, the scores were extra low this week because of the additional Par 5’s, a couple of which were very short. Making the cut will also get harder as the top players from the Beer League make their way up to Platinum.

ugh...missed 3 putts from 7-9' (including on the 18th in round 2) to miss the cut by 1. Welcome back to the tours 🖕

Made 2 bogies and burned the edge on 18 to miss by a shot. 61-63, I think. Takes some getting used to having to go lights out, but it's the same for everyone.

Hello. Such gentle course/conditions combos are always a little deceptive. As soon as I start piling up some birdies, I tend to take my swing for granted and lose focus. Not this time though, as I went through some pleasantly unspectacular (in a positive way!) rounds on this beautiful course. The total score might even be good enough for more than one promo mark. Surprisingly, I enjoy Pro difficulty quite a lot. It's definitely a different kind of challenge. While on Master, I tried to avoid screwing up at least half of my swings. And now, the challenge is to stay aggressive and create easy birdie opportunities on every hole. It will be interesting to see if being aggressive will remain the way to go on trickier courses as well. Cheers and good luck all!

Congrats on a solid week up mup kupen nup! I was in the hunt for a top 10 until my fourth round when I got a series of fasts, I looked down mid-round and realized I hadn't plugged in my controller.

Oh man, that's unfortunate! I read somewhere that there is quite some difference between wireless and wired. Let's hope your score is still enough for a green tick. I'm missing you as my loyal teammate btw! Cheers!

Looks like it will be on to the kinetic tour for me . Haven’t played this tour in 4 months and had 4 strike points. One event back in and I guess I didn’t do well enough. Still found the pro swing more enjoyable

Looks like I'll get one green arrow this week. Pretty good start to the new season.
I played a master swing event in another society last night just for the hell of it to see how I went after getting used to the easier pro swing. Ended up being -8 after 9 holes and -12 for the round. There were a number of pretty easy putts which helped, but I thought the swing changes they brought in made it a little easier than it had been lately.
