Happy holidays golfers! This week we are off to the lovely Mont-Bisanne course created by b101 (you may have heard of him). Water does come into play quite often, but there are many opportunities to go for some hero shots. Conditions will make this a fairly scorable week so have fun making birdies and eagles! We are aware of the green grid color issues, an unfortunate part of the otherwise lovely winter theme added to the game. I'd recommend playing a practice round, and if it's too much to handle feel free to skip this week. It will be a festive one off. Best of luck to all, let's have a proper shootout this week!

As somebody who just went E & -12 in his first two rounds, the practice round comment is something I'd echo for anybody else looking to play.
Could not hack those green grids.

Sounds like I picked a good week to get promoted back up here then 😂 I'll check it out later after the cricket

Seriously, why?
-8 first round, which would have been silly good if I could actually read the greens with these winter nonsense settings; had multiple fluorescent grid-induced bogies and even a double I think
-14 second round, which was the result of forgetting about course management and firing at all pins
Hope -22 means I won’t have to end my time in Elite on frozen fairways and greens…

-4 to start this new stint in Elite. I concur with others about the difficulties on the greens, however I had more trouble with pace than line, given the ball was hard to see and I had trouble working out how far back I'd moved the putter. This was more of an issue on shorter putts, I picked the line ok but kept blasting them 3-4 feet past. At the proper pace they likely would have borrowed more and dropped.
At this point I think I'd be happy to miss the cut but high enough up to avoid demo marks. Not sure I can take three more rounds of those conditions.

I didn't have any greens issues in R1. I couldn't stay dry and was kind of wild on tempo. Went -4 with 2 water balls. The score was on me 100%. R2 I went -10 and played more under control. Just trying to avoid demo marks at this point.
Carry on everyone, and good luck to all who have not finished rounds!

You need to complete two rounds to not get auto-demo marks after you start the event but do not finish two rounds. Playing R2 should be a thing for you.

Yes I will play the second round today after the cricket finishes, I didn't mean I'm gonna withdraw after one round, just that I won't be disappointed to miss the cut so I only have to play one more instead of three more 😂

Going to take the demos and take a total break through January I think. This game irritates me so much right now I just find it impossible to enjoy playing it. How on earth they judged that theme suitable for release is beyond me.
Aside from that the actual course itself was a really nice layout and one of the best I've played on this game so far imo.

I liked the layout as well but that wintry theme just did my head in. Successfully missed the cut but unfortunately probably will get demos.

Hey all, So I had a short 4-week vacation in Platinum. After a T16 in my first week, I almost started dreaming I could stay a little longer. But then the PC-grid-affecting patch 1.06 came out, and so I accumulated the required 5 demo marks in just 3 weeks. Now I'm back here, and I will most likely stay for a while if I stay stubborn with respect to wormcamming. The greens are a little more tame here, so there shouldn't be as many ghost breaks as in Plat. Plus, I steadily improve interpreting the moving beads, which is new to me as I focused on the grid rather than the beads before the patch. Anyway, I start my comeback with a rather unspectacular -34. Round 3 was a little underwhelming at -6. The rest was fine. See you next week! Lots of familiar faces, I like that!

TGCT: We want a realistic tournament golf simulation and here are a bunch of rules. Also, no gamertags on leaderboards, we want this to look realistic. Also TGCT: lol, golf in the snow!
I didn't make it past the front 9 before deciding to skip this week. Sucks to skip my first ever elite event, but I just can't see a damn thing on the greens. No idea how y'all are doing it.

Should have skipped this week, but instead I played and will get demo marks because the green grids on winter courses are damn near impossible to decipher.
