Congratulations! You've made it to Elite! mattyfromcanada and I will be your schedulers for the 2022/2023 season. We'll do our best to bring you to the best courses we can find. We're literally flying all over the world for this (until TGCTours takes away our company credit cards). Our goal is to find fun rounds of golf with varying levels of difficulty. If you have any criticisms feel free to ping jwtexan . He did this last year and hasn't even bought 2k23, so everything from here on out is his fault. Right, on to the good stuff: For the first week we head to beautiful Hong Kong, Australia! This four day event (one week in real time) will be hosted by Victoria Gardens, a course designed by the legendary Leecey . The course is known for its wide undulating fairways, contoured greens, deep bunkers and homemade shepherd's pie. Fairway position will be key for setting up your approach shots. Simply being in the fairway may not be good enough. Course management will be key as some pins are not meant to be attacked. Enjoy this beauty of a sandbelt course!

Looks like Iβve landed here and, if so, feels like itβs where I belong as well.
Great first course!
Played okay but missed a lot of putts - threw in two bogies and a double bogey as a result.
No idea how competitive my scores will prove to be, but was -24 after two rounds and ended the tournament on -43.
Best wishes Frans

Hong Kong Australia? π I only managed to get into kinetic after the qualifier but I'm hoping to get myself promoted back up here after a full season last year which I enjoyed playing.

Hmmmm... wasn't hitting it great, but stepped up to the first tee anyhow, and proceeded to continue the not hitting it great. Could not find my tempo AT ALL in R1. Missed a couple of very short putts, shaved the hole a time or two. Lipped out twice and finished behind the cup once too. Ended up -5...
Continued straight onto the tee in R2 and proceeded to hit perfect after perfect. -12... Not sure if that makes the cut or not.
Followed it up with a couple of -10's, wasteful as usual, and missed another handful of VERY short putts (6-8ft) for birds / par... even started out with 2 bogeys in the first 3 holes in R4.
All in all, about what I expected - settling in for cut battling / mid table mediocrity. Nice track, some interesting lies for approaches, and couple of putts that did the same. Would come again. Good bunker practice.

Started really bumpy for me, 1st round jitters? Bogey on 2 of the first 5 holes π. Started to get it together and the 2nd round went a bit smoother -8, -13 for -21 at the cut. Nice course choice. Really looking forward to the season. Good luck to all. Let's Gooo!

Hey everyone! See a lot of familiar names from over the years here. Hope everyone have an enjoyable season and look forward to the battle and banter upcoming.
I came out roaring. Roaring into a brick wall that is. First round I was mostly getting up and down for par, or I was two putting when I did hit a GIR. A few holes of hitting it in close got me a handful of birdies. 5 birds and a bogey to start out at -4.
Good start for the second round with two birds, and then on #3 I hacked it around in the bunker 3 or 4 times and took a triple. Another bogey on #5 and #6 and I was -2 for the event. Bore on down and went into the clubhouse on a heater (-9 over the last 10 holes) to salvage a two round score of -11. Going to be a MC for sure, but might have at least kept myself above the red mark line, but we shall see.
Good luck to all yet to play, or with rounds yet to finish.

If you have any criticisms feel free to ping jwtexan . He did this last year and hasn't even bought 2k23, so everything from here on out is his fault. Don't plan on buying it anytime soon either. Y'all have fun and be nice to these two new schedulers! Behave yourselves.

Missed the cut my first week. Went -2 -11 on my first two rounds, which probably indicates the importance of a practice one beforehand!

Shot -16 in R1 with some nice up and downs when I missed a green.
Started birdie birdie in R2 then hit it in a bunker on the 3rd and went to chip it out to discover it was chipping was gone. Tried my first ever splash and hit it 2y further into the bunker... the red mist set in and I chopped it around in -6 with 46% driving accuracy, a 7 on a par 5 and a new world record 14 bunker shots!
-44 in the end but that game mechanic switcharoo killed me off in R2. Guess I'll practice how to hit a splash on this game for next week.

Random stats for my 2 rounds:
FIR : t- 4th (96.2%) GIR : t- 42th (75.0%) Putts/hole: 112th (1.528)
I think I see the problem.
