We said on Elite this year some courses will be easier, some tougher. This week will most likely be the latter. Sattler Heads - Black is a fantastic track by one of the great designers of this community, Heisenberg . It has a great mix of tricky scorable holes, as well as some where you'll be happy to make par. It was designed to play tough, and you'll experience a variety of setups this week. Score early as things really toughen up during the weekend rounds. Best of luck!

-7 in round one. I'll wait to see how scores shake out and practice my 2nd round chops as I feel I could make a run at the cut this week.

Heh, back in Elite a week earlier than I figured I would be. I thought it was 4 promo marks to move up, but I only had 3 in Kinetic with last week's result. As such, I played Kinetic rounds last night and decided to check out Elite for fun. Shot a mediocre -6, but wasn't worried about it since I wasn't on Elite. Then I got the promo email this morning. Oops. Guess maybe I shouldn't have played a goof around Elite round. Hopefully my second round -11 to be at -17 will be enough to make the cut.

Another 37 red thingies for me due to the game being unplayable for stretches of 4/5 or more holes. Played well the other holesβ¦ πππ

I had a great first round (-12) and accidentally selected "Advance" which started the second round. I'm not sure if I'm able to properly view the Course Settings from the on-course Pause menu.
Before starting the round, I note the conditions and sometimes play a local practice round to get a feel for the firmness/speed of the course.
Can anyone confirm if
1) there's a way to view the conditions from the Start menu 2) post a photo of the listed conditions here (for Round 2)?
Thanks!

Just quit and comeback to the main menue For whatever reason, I'm unable to see it from the main menu. When I choose "Play" it just sends me into the "In Progress" round since I technically started it (but haven't teed off on 1st hole yet). I used to be able to quit to main menu and view the conditions but perhaps a recent patch changed this behavior?

-7 in round one. I'll wait to see how scores shake out and practice my 2nd round chops as I feel I could make a run at the cut this week. Weird round two. Started out +2 through 3 and 5 holes. Felt I was playing more to avoid demotion marks at that point.
Finished up decent on the front 9 overall (-1 round score at that point, and -8 total) considering the start. Then more encouragement as I was -11 total after 13 holes. Longshot to get to the score I felt was guaranteed to make the cut (-16). Par/bogey followed. Now -10 total with three holes left to play. Just don't mess up the last three holes and avoid demo marks. Birdie, birdie, eagle finish to sit -14 after two.
A sweat tomorrow perhaps to make the cut, but I think one shot better would make it a much easier task to sail on through.
TLDR: -7/-7 to sit -14 at the cut. Sweating the cut tomorrow I think.
GL to all with rounds yet to play/finish!

Well, looks like I'll make the cut comfortably. Unexpected given I wasn't even thinking I was playing R1 for real. I already have a good R3 in the bank that should move me up the board a bit. Interesting round in tough VH winds. Played a little defensively on the front, carding 1 bird, 1 eagle and 7 pars. Then went bonkers on the back with a -8 that could have been lower had a couple of putts dropped. Played a couple of crazy shots from red sidehill lies and big time crosswinds. I was aimed as much as 40-50 yards off the target and hit it to within 10' twice like that. Wind? What wind? Anyways, a second straight 61 should see me near the top 10 I'd guess. Haven't looked at R4 conditions, but hopefully can have the same tempo going Friday night when I play the final round.

-12,-11
-23 heading into the weekend.
In contention. I know the conditions are beefed up 3 & 4 so we will see how the scores look come Friday!

I finished -23. I cleared one of my demotion marks. That is okay with me. I don't think I will ever be good enough to compete for a Promotion mark here, so I play to stay here as long as possible on Elite.
GL to anyone with rounds left to play after the cut.
