Welcome to week 3 at Yellowgrass Prairie Club by mattyfromcanada . This course was also part of the CC contest design competition, but we have cranked the green speeds and the wind for a couple of rounds to make it a house of fun for Elite. There are a ton of fun holes out there where you ball is going to be bounding along the ground and taking some bounces before settling. Lots of holding the fast forward button this week and hoping you get a good after. Every green is big enough that it feels like a simple challenge, but in the end there are some spots you really don't want to be in when approaching these monsters. I think the scores will be plenty low since this course is so inviting, but it will come down to putting as ever. Good luck! Check out more from the course thread here if you want, or don't. Matty gets enough attention as it is.

Blame mattyfromcanada for anything and everything this week. Longer write up/appreciation post about his course Yellowgrass incoming tomorrow. But thought I would get the thread going for y’all now. So what you're saying is...

I played an absolute rubbish round in my real life game on Sunday, lost a match play after being 3 up after 5 or 6 holes. After that point in the round I lost my swing for whatever reason and just had the worst luck ever.
It seems I brought that bad luck with me when I played the first round of this event, finishing at -8 but with a fair few putts lipping out or burning the edge. I didn't fare a lot better in the second round with a -9, and I'm probably gonna miss my first cut of the season as a result. A disappointing week of golf all round really!

This was a great course.One that you really have to play a few times before the actual event.It’s very target golf oriented.Very surprised with all the low scores
Sitting at -18 after 36: and -44 for the event
Hoping I can make 2 cuts in a row.But amazingly this is 2 events in a row with 0 bogeys on the cards

You might be surprised and make the cut. The 2nd round had some very tricky pins and blustery conditions

Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back...
Yeah, this guy. Saw a post on Reddit about a patch fixing the partial short game shots and though, what the hell, why not reinstall and try it out. I figured I'd been away for long enough that I would need to qualify again, so I fired up the game and played a couple of rounds on last week's Platinum event. Turns out, I was still a card holding Platinum player and let's say that the first couple of rounds in 6 months or however long it's been were fun, but not Tour worthy. And so, I find myself back in Elite. At least the game is fun again and I probably don't deserve to be on Platinum at this point. Enjoyed the first three rounds here so far with a -10 and -9 that could have been better if I could remember how to putt, lol. Might make the cut, we'll see and if so, the 58 in round 3 should move me up a bit. Either way, first real competitive round in such a long time that I can't complain regardless of what happens.
Kind of wish that TGCT was still on Master swing, but as I understand it, the patch came out a bit after the settings were decided on, so pretty understandable.

Not going to lie, this course got me hot under the collar and stirred places that haven’t been stirred in a while, or it could have been the 13 birdies, who knows, but I’m looking forward to the next three rounds either way

Rd 2, -14. Not peppering the hole with approaches but putting well, which makes a change, a splash shot eagle helps!

Shocking first round of -6 followed by a decent second round of -13 to leave me just above the cut line. Highlight of second round with an Ace on Hole 7.

I should hopefully avoid a red mark but I'll lose my green one.

I should hopefully avoid a red mark but I'll lose my green one. Sadly i looked and I missed the cut by one . But for the event I shot -46. Which is my lowest tgc score of all time. On the Xbox leaderboard I’m currently in 7th place.Everyone used to say in these threads that these new settings will carry us over until the next golf club game.Fingers crossed that maybe the Xbox version of the new title will be easier than PlayStation.So maybe we can be the ones shooting the low scores for a change.Hahah

Thought I'd messed up for another missed cut with an opening -7 round then proceeded to hit -17 in round 2!!! Think I was -11 thru 9 so you could say I should've done better haha will finish up later in the week and see if I can catch SMIFFYLFC79

I’ve sadly only made 5 cuts on this tour since being here for almost 6 months now.It looks like -45 total would’ve been pretty solid if all 72 holes would count;However, my -19 for 36 got me the axe:(
Would you suggest I only play 36 now?knowing my chances of making a cut are very fleeting on the Xbox.I really thought I would have made 2 cuts in a row
