Dear TST enthusiasts, We have great news: our in-house nerd genius skoader has found a way to do both the reduced-field FedEX playoffs and flights for all players in the last three weeks: both the FedEX playoffs leaderboards and the flight leaderboards will be posted here on the forum. So, even more reason for all of you to use the last two weeks of the regular season to score as many FedEX points as possible, to ensure your name appears on both. Just as a reminder: week 46, the first playoff week, will have a reduced field of the top 125 in the FedEX standings, week 47 the top 70 and the Tour Championship will feature the top 30 WITH adjusted starting scores, just like IRL. So number 1 in the standings starts on -10, number 2 on -8, etc.. For a full explanation, see here. We hope your are as exited as we are. So, on to week 44, the Mortgage Classic, played on Detroit Golf Club IRL. We play at Detroit Golf Club as well BUT CLV's version of the original Detroit Golf Club, with lengthened holes and some additional trees to make it look and play a lot better than the HB version. Now go out there and score some FedEX points while competing in your flight. Have fun and good luck, Frans |

Firstly big thanks to skoader for giving us duffers something to play for in the closing weeks of the season. The pixel golf? A theclv24 track and TST. What's not to like. Played pretty steadily apart from Round 3 where I got on the bogie train mid round and struggled to get the driver to stop. The other 3 rounds were pretty reasonable for me. Missed a couple of putts I shoulda got but balanced out by a few lucky shots. All in all an enjoyable morning, as always. -21 for the tourney which suggests Frans has gone easy on us this week  |

Haven't been able to finish the last few weeks so I think I've plummeted down the divisions but the road back starts here! Like this course a lot. One of those that isn't gimmicky hard but there's some bumps and hollows and slight breaks on the greens that are hard to see and make it a test on true sim. Ben I think you've undersold your score there, sounds good to me that! Really going to try and stream my rounds every week so I'll post the link here if anyone is interested in listening to a Norn-Irishman talking to himself haha Play well guys  |

I agree with SkyBlueBen,big thank you skoader for what you have done to make TST Tour enjoyable again with the flights,from me not being a very good golfer 👏👏.
Thought Wupta had thrown a spanner in the works or in his case a monkey wrench 😂😂,in poking fransslabak about the greens last week.Luckily i didn't three putt very often on the sloping greens in my first round this week 😀.
Had my best first round score so far with a minus eight.Eagle hole out from 150yards helps alot.
Going to try and not blow away a good score over the next three rounds.
Goodluck everyone 😁.

So I'm through round 1 so far. Another weekend where I'm going through a round of this. Started out with a -5. Very much a boring round of golf, could never get an igniter that it could have used. 5 birds, no bogeys. Not that there was a whole lot of scoring opportunity, tempo was off on crucial moments so any shots I did have went a little too far to the side. Bit more distance on some recovery shots (particularly early on in the round, had a couple near misses for eagles and almost holed out from way off the rough on a par 3) and bit of putter luck not getting lipped out and this could have been a doubled up score. A bit of a shame that. Just couldn't catch a break with anything except maybe with not three putting... yet. Think the scores are out there but not fortunate enough to find that yet. However, just stay out of any issues and at least I won't have to gain more through forcing it. If there's any consolation, at least I'm way ahead of my last year's score on this exact same course... although it isn't saying much.  Good luck this week! |

As of next week… 😎 Based on this information I am expecting to a huge reversal of fortunes from next week onwards and I'm already nervous. So, I tried to make the most of it this week and pushed through all four rounds in one sitting, which is rare for me. I was battling slows all the way round, so it took extra concentration just to keep the wee white ball on the short(er) stuff, but all in all I'm very happy with my final score and will now put my feet up in the clubhouse and enjoy a pint. Or two... Good luck all!  |

Returning this week to play here since I have much friendlier work hours. I even have time to sneak in 9 holes irl on Thursday. First round beginning in the next couple of hours here 👍

After a couple of false starts with the game crapping itself trying to load the round, I got it going and opened with a 64 this week. Bit out of practice with reading the putts but came home in 30 which included a 3 foot eagle on 14 after nearly holing the second shot. Nice course, and liking the crowds as well.

Highwayman robbed me of a few birdies on the front nine 😞.
Three putted 2 or 3 times 😠.
Managed to sink an eagle putt and a green side bunker shot for eagle on the back nine 😀.
Three putt bogey on the last hole to give me a minus six on the scorecard for round two.
Just wondering what fransslabak has got in stall for us in the coming weeks 😲😲.

Current Form (Last 5 Weeks)TST: - / - / 77 / 78 / 112 Hogan: - / - / 12 / 9 / 27
Poor show last week, hopefully a bit better this week. Bogey-free tournament. Was hunting gavlaar124 down the home stretch but bottled in on the 71st hole, where I saved my only three-putt of the tournament for then, to lose to him by one shot. Booooo.
67/64/67/63 (-27)

-39 for me
Feels I’m starting to get a better feel for this PS5 beast but still missing too many putts. Not by as much as previous weeks though… 😂😂😂

High winds caught me out a few times in round three 😞.
Only one bogey on the front nine and two on the back nine.
At least i managed to find some birdies along the way 😀😂.
Not a good round for me,a minus three in round three 😊.

I'm getting worse as the rounds go, 65 and 67 for the second and third. Hopefully the last is an improvement!
