Dear TST enthusiasts, This week I'm taking you to Jefferson Country Club, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, for our QCD Shootout. We have a bit of everything this week: some higher winds, some lower winds, some faster greens, some slower greens. One thing is the same for all four rounds: the fifteenth green is tricky!  Have fun and good luck, Frans |

Not sure if my scores will update this week because I'm back on Xbox and can't remember if it takes a week to switch across on the site. Played a couple of rounds on this anyway. I really liked the design; it's peak risk reward and I'm sure there will be very high and very low scores. I did notice serious performance issues throughout every round though. Maybe it was my connection but the pop in was horrendous and really took away from a very good design. Video for reference: www.xbox.com/play/media/QS9VYZYAPJPlay well! |

Agree on the course layout. Played my first round this morning at -1 but it should have been so much better. Just some bad decision making during the round. Fun course though. |

Aye I couldn't justify having both. Switching the ethernet cable everytime I wanted to play on the other console was a right pain and I couldn't adjust to using my right thumb at all. I play loads of games on Gamepass so decided to keep the Xbox. Luckily I only lost £50 and honestly if I'd been patient could've made money. PlayStation's seem to be hugely in demand right now! |

Round 1: -9. Just lovely, solid stuff, taking full advantage of a rare non-random tempo round.
And then… my second round; managed to score a bogey, a double bogey, a triple bogey (!!!) and a quintuple bogey (!!!!!), and went round in +1… That was not a boring round… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
-8 halfway and wondering wtf happened… 😎

Got my 2 rounds in early this week. I do like to play with a turned based ghost and had the pleasant company of Brenelan this week. I thought they fixed the FFW but too many shots from my playing partner like a Benny Hill sketch including my auto replays of hole outs(so frustrating). Putted extremely well apart from 1 hole, some nice long putts holed and a couple of chip ins in R1. Was 8 under in the first round but let it slip with a couple of bogeys late on. Round 2 (love the faster greens challenge) managed a 3 under which I am happy with to be -9 after 2 rounds. |

Love the course and had my best round so far this Season, with a little bit of help from this putt 😉https://www.xbox.com/play/media/4CUT2NBKT5
Second round come back to earth with a thud. To be honest, very happy with +4. The fast greens made it interesting. Missed a couple of short putts, but that's golf.
Will take a break before Rounds 3 and 4.

It would appear that there is some disturbance in the space-time continuum or possibly the Force. I have just completed the almost mirror image of my rival's opening rounds experience. Whilst Frans was cruising round to his -9 I was three-stabbing from 6ft and finding many of the bunkers, plus making a few forward steps on my way to +2 and the usual huge deficit on the self-styled Dutch Master. Then whilst he was hacking his way through round two somehow, I managed three eagles and plenty of birdies on my way to, what must be, my best ever TST round of -12 and two shots ahead of Frans. This sort of this shouldn't be happening and I blame the scheduler. |

Managed a much improved +3 and +1 in my openers, took a few dips but otherwise played better than expected.
Onward!

After my second round disaster and nightmares about a certain Scottish person outscoring me forever and ever and ever… I changed my shafts to golden ones, my ball to a jade one, my pants to red ones and my controller input to USB.
Round 3: -5
Round 4: -9
Signs of improvement or delusion? If it’s the latter, please don’t tell me.

Round 3: -5 Round 4: -9 Signs of improvement or delusion? If it’s the latter, please don’t tell me. Fear not, I asked the Pro Shop to sort me out a caddy for Round 3. Unfortunately, the provided me with Stevie Wonder. A nightmare on the greens followed and ten shots worse than your third effort. On the plus side you can cancel that trip to the Swiss clinic as the disruption in the Force has been fixed with some duct tape. I will always have Round 2  |

Let's stay away from stale handicap jokes. Stevie Wonder is one of the most talented human beings of the last 100 years. He's also one of the nicest guys and willing to laugh about a handicap that is very difficult to live with. Blind people don't live on Earth to be the joke of society.
