Was -6 Day One. Started cruising front nine of Day 2, including a splash eagle. Then opened up back nine with a bogey and double bogey. Seems everything is slows now. Do a couple practice shots...perfects. Real shot, slow. Such garbage. Fast winds and greens are killing me. Shot +2 Day 2. In at -4. Let's see how Round 3 goes when I tee off at o'dark thirty.

I'm having major issues with the backswing glitch this past fortnight or so. In the previous months it would only be an issue every now and then, but it's really bad at present. Has something changed recently and why is this happening? I would be grateful for any suggestions. Change your swing. I always pull the club back then slowly bring it forward to rest, then bring it back and take my swing. Part of it is a tempo thing, but it also cancels out the glitch because it doesn't matter if the backswing glitch happens because you aren't going to swing on the initial pullback. If that makes sense. Thanks for the advice, I will give this a try and see if it helps.

Good Lord. -6, +2, +1. Those 166 greens in the predawn low sun are brutal.

All I am able to accomplish lately is make the cut but as soon as the conditions thoughen up my game implodes. I'm 4 over after 3 holes in Rd 4. I had to stop because my swing and putting are that of a hacker now.
I think I'll be fortunate to finish in the Top 50 now

Well, I had the round of my short TGC life. Shot a -10, despite a double bogie on that ridiculously short par-3 13th. This included 8 birdies and 2 eagles, one of which was a hole in one on the 17th. I'm in a tie for 14th. Player name David Stewart. Whew!

Get ready for a challenging 1st Round. High winds and a lot of danger lurking to grab misjudged shots especially off the tee.
At one point I was +5 on the front nine. Beware of holes 2 and 4 off the tee and 3 of the 4 Par 3's can be card wreckers if you misjudge wind and elevation.

Wow!!! +2 at the turn and then a 7 and 9 on the par 5 10th and 12th. Lone birdie on 18 gave a +7 finish…OUCH

Finally earned my card(very last one before the cut off line)so I guess this is my new home for a while. Played back in the TGC and TGC2 days but haven’t had the competitive desire since then so I’ve rangered courses and not much else.
Did slowly work my up the ranks back then from the bottom(old CC-Z) to as high as Web(current Kinetic). 2 career second place finishes in old CC-Z and Web. But that was all a long time ago and I’m seriously out of practice and the game is very different now.
I detailed my round 1 in the Q-school forum and don’t feel like doing it again so I’ll just say I went +6. It wasn’t pretty but it’s still better than how I was playing just 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I had ridiculous swing variation and add that to the wind saw me dump my PS4 mid flight into the water. Random changes this game has drives me mental.

Unusually for me I had trouble with water holes, shortening my swing for accuracy gave me very slow instead of grey fast for some reason. I still hit the cut at -5 though and stayed there. I was as high as -9 at times but could not swing on the water par 3's for some reason. I think I was touching the left stick by accident, I have a problem with unknowingly doing this.

When is the last time we have seen a Par 5 playing as the hardest hole on the course?
Currently the 12th hole is averaging more than a shot over par!!
I contributed to that high average with a push into the drink on the 2nd shot. Played it much smarter in the 2nd Rd by laying up on the 2nd shot and pitching on. Took the par and moved on.

Two good things came out of my second round. I no longer feel like I played bad in the first round and I shouldn’t have to bother playing the next two rounds since I doubt I’ll be anywhere near the cut. A +9 to leave me +15 after two. That was easily the sloppiest round I’ve played in a few weeks. Ok, sloppiest front nine as I was actually even par over the last nine holes.
