Dear TST enthusiasts,
This week we DO NOT play an RCR.
We play tees with ALL colours of the rainbow.
Conditions are NOTHING like you’d find in Georgia.
If playing this week still feels like playing the IRL tournament scheduled this week, that is purely coincidence… 😎
Have fun and good luck,
Frans

Cranked out rounds 1 and 2 and did not soil myself. Did not set the world on fiya either, but under par is an accomplishment for me on a course like this. -1 and level for -1 at the cut. Over to you SkyBlueBen |

Over to you SkyBlueBen Well Art I have had the kind of morning so far where I would quite happily delete the game from my HDD and never ever play it again. Going to slam my PC rounds in so I don't have to return to it for a week. Totally down to me. I seem to have developed a pull to the left that I can't stop!! +5 |

You should try DP World Tour this week, same course as TBC but Master level. |

Round 1: -11
Round 2: -9
Halfway: -20
That’s 15 (!) shots better than on Platinum, on the very same course in very similar conditions. I am a weird pixel golfer… 😂😂😂😂😂

Not over par yet, started with a -3 first round. Could have been a few shots better if I didn't keep burning the edges.

My Love/Hate romance story with this course continues into another year, although i think this year it was a Hate/Love situation as I decided I Hate the course and it decided to Love annoying me  I did however manage a Bogey Free round, so that is what i shall take with me until it comes around again.  My scores are irrelevant, I shall make the cut atleast. Good Luck all, play well |

I had one of those weeks that was really good but could / should have been something special. And for me, they are both the most annoying weeks and the best! -40 in the end (13,8,11,8). Some stupid putting in round one and loose shots in round two will cost me.
Frans, out of interest do you guys on the Tour avoid picking exact replicas of this course for legal reasons? Not moaning or anything and this is a really nice version to play regardless. Just curious.
Play well guys!

Unlike SMIFFYLFC79, my relationship with courses in Georgia and courses that resemble courses in Georgia is not confused. It’s not love/hate or hate/love. There’s no love. Not for the pixel golf variants. Anyway, the good news is, if you have a meltdown, might as well have a meltdown deluxe! Final score is worse than my halfway score… 😂😂😂 And like every year, I have promised myself to sit this week out next year. And I won’t… like every year. |

Getting closer to over par, shot a 74 second round and now I'm -1 for the week. Kept hitting approaches past the bloody pins, and went for a couple of swims as well.

Ahh, the grand week of golf. At the course that shall not be mentioned, but it must be agreed that it is quite the spectacle of something august, eh? (august, adjective: respected and impressive just so no one thinks I'm making words up) Went into this after, against my own ability, shooting the lights out in round 2 of Kinetic and going in with a big high. Name of the game is to stay out of trouble as much as you can and focus on smart golf. Again, smart plays are not in my virtual golfing catalogue but I tried it anyway. Works out alright so far. -5, -4 for -9 at the cut. Mistakes limited to 5 holes and 1 water ball which I will gladly take. Round 2 could have looked worse but I somehow managed 2 eagles in the front nine for a way more respectable looking score. Definitely slid off at the back nine but didn't crash out entirely. Wouldn't have been surprising at all if I did, I'm not a "major" player in any way but at least this week it finally changes since I'm through for the first made cut in a major after only once being close before but not thanks to my own ability! Bring on the weekend, I'm ready to go for a big time finish or... well, get destroyed trying, whatever comes first. Cheers, and best of luck! |

My scores are irrelevant, I shall make the cut atleast. Good Luck all, play well Same here. I've been playing this course on games since 2012 and it's just not a natural fit for me. Probably played 100 rounds here and never had a bogey-free round. Like my first 2 rounds I got 68 and 73 but my bogeys came from playing it too safe. Bailed out too far right on 11, made sure not to get wet on 12 so I had the awkward downhill chip from the flower area and wound up with a double in the 2nd round. 15, I finally gave up trying to go for it in 2 cause it's just so tough to get the eagle there even if you land on the green. Then all the tucked pins in corners need perfect ball striking. Lotta back left pins in round 1. At least I made the cut but I'm low down at 71st place. At least I made the cut. |

Somehow managed a 65 third round to get to -8. 7 birdies, 2 bogeys and an eagle on 8. Approaches were better this round as was my green reading.
