Dear TST enthusiasts, This week, our TST tournament will take place at the IRL PGA Tour venue: Torrey Pins South (HB Official version). There's a bit of wind in round 1 but after that the wind isn't your main problem; it's the fairways or, to be more precise, the narrowness of them... My advise: hit it straight!!! Have fun and good luck, Frans PS As of this week, we will slightly tweak the demotion mechanism; you will be demoted to a lower flight if you collect 4 demo marks (instead of 5) from now on. We do this to balance the number of players in each flight. Therefore, if you are currently on 4 demo marks and would not like to be demoted, this would be a good week to loose one by playing well...

Round 1 did well (for me) with a very acceptable 6 under. Round 2 couldn't do a thing right, missed fairways, lipped 4 putts, came off a poor 2 over to leave me underwhelmed at 4 under at halfway

Decided to finish up. Round 3 was a blur and seemed to pass very quickly, almost as if the game missed out some holes. Weird feeling Played decently in Round 4 though it was rather gentle out there...

First week as a Hogan player.
Steady start and then the 4th...I hate this hole. Spent so long with the hole card working out where to hit it, accounting for the wind etc. Yep, just set it out over the right side of the bunker, yes, this will be fine. Then forgot to aim my actual shot... OOB.
Anyway, didn't completely collapse. Happy with +4 considering my hate/hate relationship with this course. Is it always this windy there?
Enjoying the TST challenge.

Love this course, and this is maybe the best 2K has done on recreating a real course.
The po anna greens got me bad (5th in round 1 was the worst).
+7 then +4. It's not you Torrey, it's me.
Onward!

Usually, I've been rolling with Powerhouse but for this Farmville course I switched over to Sculptor for better timing, swing path and shaping. I find that distance isn't needed here as much as accuracy. I traded in my 5 wood for the Sand Wedge and refitted some clubs. My caddy is still creating a yardage/green book and we might tee off in the wee hours of the morning later tonight. I literally could shoot 5 under or 5 over par, per round, on this course. Somebody call the cops because there is a RUMble in the bar!!

Practice makes Perfect my EYE! I shot -2 on the front and +7 on the backside for a nice +5 for the first round. Hit some trees. Went Out of Bounds. Hit a bunch of bunkers. Lipped out two chips that looked like they were dead going into the hole. Missed some putts and completely melted down. Anyone got the number to Dr. Griswold? Last I heard she was in Salome Texas, but the number that I have has been disconnected. I'm going straight into round two with no practice. I'll show you how to shoot 40 over par for a tournament! Welcome to Arnie's Army! Be back in Hogan before Groundhog Day. That's right Woodchuck Chuckers. EDIT: More of the same in Round 2. Time to go to bed and cry myself to sleep. +6 after round two.

That 5th hole pin placement in rd 1 was brutal , had a birdie from 4ft ended up double bogey and a double swear up 🤬🤬

I literally have to put my brightness up to 80 and I usually run it at 20!

I'm sure it's here somewhere but there's loads of pages....
Are there cuts in the weekly flight tourneys? Or any TST events?
Cheers.
