So far in rnd 1, 8 Xboxers in the top 82 scores, just about says everything everbody already knew.......... Just to balance that, only about 25% of players play on Xbox (give or take) and a lot of our best players have either jumped ship to the dark side or given up because of the issues. Not saying there isn't still a difficulty gap (because I don't know!) but it does seem from the early feedback that at the very least it's less than in was in the last game. 10% makes me proud. Good job to those players! Of which I am not one. Lol! I stink! |

Been registered since 2019. You have to re-register for this one. Go to 'Qualifying' on the main site and you'll see an option to register. It will then pull your scores. Thank you sir I was under impression we didn’t have to do that. |

After playing 8 rounds now on this course I do really like it. I still feel like I don't really know what to look for in terms of good courses... I end up just looking at at my aim arrow the whole time... haha But it seems like there was really good risk-reward. Going for par 4 greens in 1 and 5s in 2 were very challenging and left sometimes tough recoveries if missed. But rewarded if hit well. Most all the fairways were very tilted but I shaped into the hills and aimed high and actually hit good fairway numbers. It seemed pretty realistic for a course in the hills. Good elevation changes.
First round was 92% fairways but only ended -1. I did end up using the legendary redline balls (bring on the hate but I think if it's open I'm at a disadvantage if I don't) I think they're a good mix of adding some distance and controlling the bounce / roll. Except for the second round where I forgot to equip them. I'm sure they helped in actually being able to stay on fairways. I had a lot of trouble reading greens at the slower speed, they played 139 instead of 155 and ended up missing a lot of putts but might have saved me from some big numbers. I think the second round actually ended up being my best with the default ball... Changing my career mode grind to moderate greens so I can practice with the slower speeds going forward. Ended up -13 which I'm OK with. Kicking myself a little because conditions and tempo were OK I really think I could have easily been -20+ with better putt adjustment and maybe made Kinetic. Hopefully I'll be CC-Cish? I've only ever been in CC-L so this seems good but hoping to make it to Kinetic soon. Viewing the boards that one seems active and would be really fun.
I finally feel like I have my skills and fittings in a good place at level 42. It makes a big difference, on Xbox master now feels like pro with a little harsher penalties. Seems like a good difficulty for me anyways. Trying to be consistent and not burn out like I usually do haha. Thank you to Doyley and everyone else running this.

I really do love KEG Farm, but after having played so many practice rounds on it, I am ready to get Qualifying over with and get onto some new courses. I think the developers of the course did a fantastic job with managing risk vs. reward (after 6 rounds, I finally stopped trying to reach hole #4 on my drive). I think I read somewhere that it was based on the crazy new Landmand Golf Club in Nebraska, which I really hope someone LiDAR's in the coming months! www.golfdigest.com/story/landmand-golf-club-king-collins-nebraska |

Evening all.
-53 for me. Really enjoying the game tbf. Putting is unreal, in a good way. As long as i read them 😆
I keep forgetting to put a few clicks on and i left so many putts in the jaws across the board but we'll get there!
Course was cool and rewards a good shot. Theres nothing to catch you out which is nice as all the actual hb courses as soon as you change the settings up you can guarantee you get a pin you cant hold even with a putt! Doh!!!
Good luck all left to finish and all those who are yet to start! There are some really solid scores in on ps soo far and with only 45 spots its gonna get real tasty!
Peace out✌

So far in rnd 1, 8 Xboxers in the top 82 scores, just about says everything everbody already knew.......... Happy to be one of those 8 on an OG XB1 with probably a 7 year old controller LOL. -11 R1 and I left a few shots out there. Regressed a bit the other rounds due to some poor decisions. -29 total. I wish every course was like this. Truly strategic and not just a test of who can hit it straightest the most. I stopped playing last year because the courses were too easy and the scores got too low. Maybe it’s my calibration, but on XB I either hit perfect, slightly slow, or gray fast near the edge of very fast. Nothing in between ever and I probably have 40 rounds on 23 so far. |

Dunno where the hell I got 70 from then Bob!! I think that's what they're going to build it up to. Doyley is under filling the top Tours on this event so there are spaces up for grabs in the promo event in a couple of weeks. |

Dunno where the hell I got 70 from then Bob!! 70 is the max I want it to get to - it'll likely grow as the season goes on - don't want it bigger than the size of a normal field post-cut.
We'll do 45 out of Qualifying and then add another 5 in the Promo event. The rest will happen naturally via promotion from Elite.

All I know is the sand was highly magnetized for the ball material in my 2nd round. Managed to do a bit better than the first though, so I'm good with it!

Third round done. Pretty quiet front 9, 3 birds and 1 bogey to reach the turn at -2. Not so quiet on the back 9. Managed to bogey both par 5's, was particularly unlucky on 15 with a bad bounce on my approach which turned an easy 4 into an ugly 6. But I birdied 6 of the other 7 holes which included some nice long putts. 65 to get to -17 thru 3. I'm OK with that. Goal now is to get as far in to the -20's as I can and see where that gets me. No way I can play more than one of these at a time, it's exhausting!

Plenty on PC too, folks are good I don’t think they’re really all that good, some sure, but they just have it easier obviously. I’ve seen enough of the top players and they are just good. I have a PS 5 and where is my (-50)? I shot (-4) and (+2) so far. I’ve played on my son’s XBox last season in a few societies to really see what it is like and the putting was a little different for sure. But my scores were basically the same as my PS scores. But to say these players are not good and only scoring all because of PS is rather ridiculous. The top players can play well on any console IMO. |
