I don't like this course. I don't like the look of this course. I don't like the feel of this course. I don't like all the bogeys that I scored on this course. I don't like the 2 easy putts I missed on hole 9 in round one. I don't like the easy birdie putt I missed on hole 18 in round one. I'm not happy and I have no idea how I scored 3 under par after two. Oh yeah... I played the 36th hole like a donkey and made bogey. I don't like losing to meyoAnd I really don't like losing to ericvanderekIt's not over. The way I see it, I'm just getting started. You've been liked 😉 |

Remember when I said I peaked in round 1 last week? Turns out, the prophecy may be correct.
E, -2 for guess what score after 2. Thank you, good night. I have no idea where my game has gone or has something sneakily changed, but this is not it. I was this close to just getting through all my rounds and forget all about it for a week but I would have self destructed horribly. Something's changed in this head and it hasn't gone to the better direction at all. Wonder if I'm already burned out, something similar was happening by the end of the cycle last game... might take a day or 2 off and come back to see if I'm in a better head space then.
Cheers, good luck.

Cheers, good luck. Sorry to hear that Tomba. I had missed a few cuts in CC-A, so took some time off about a month ago, and it helped a ton. But I also struggle on TS at times when I'm playing well in CC or other societies. Feels like my True Sim performance is pretty course specific, wonder if you've just seen a few courses recently that aren't comfortable for your play style? Whatever the reason, I'm sure you'll be back to cleaning most of our clocks in the near future. |

Whatever the reason, I'm sure you'll be back to cleaning most of our clocks in the near future. Yeah, been really wondering what's the cause of it all. Been feeling mentally drained lately, and I guess it's pushed me into a mental lock on the game lately? Could be some courses that I've run into lately too, seems like everything's out to get me (understandably given time of the golf season) and just... I don't know, maybe I've just not had the same kind of confidence lately? Definitely have lost a few strokes everywhere, but still have some stretches of the same ol' me. Here's hoping, I'll see what I can do. Might take some time to fine tune things for next week, I think I'll let this week be a bit of whatever. And honestly, now that I've taken a bit of time to breathe and relax, it's been a noticeably tough week for most here. I expected that last week but this week seems to play about as tough too. |

You're gonna be alright. Swing comes and goes for most us in this game just like in real life. You're just in a slump. You'll get out of it soon. You're too good of a player not to rebound. But guess what.? You'll hit another slump in the future. Roll with the punches, roll with the punches!! |

Frans
Can I just check something please?
If someone wins a flight, do they get automatically promoted, even if they’re utterly crap at the game and are currently sitting on a truck-load of demo marks?
After 2 rounds I’m sitting one shot off the lead in Palmer.
Clearly if I get promoted to Nicklaus it will be an obvious sign that we’re approaching the end of days, so on behalf of mankind I’ll make the sacrifice and play utterly crap again for the weekend rounds, just to ensure I don’t win and civilisation ends.
You can all thank me later…

Well the wind combined with the utterly stupid hard pin placement did me in for round 3, can't wait to see the pins for round 4...

You can all thank me later… I'll answer as someone who won in a flight earlier this season: no, it's not an automatic promotion, just 2 promo marks (or technically 3 if you've got demos like you pointed out since you're finishing high enough to lose one demo anyway) like it is when you're on the pro tours of the main tours. |

Tough Weekend for me. In round three I missed 3 short putts that I would like to have back. In round four things were going good enough till the middle of the round. For some reason I had a complete and utter meltdown. Had to get a lucky chip in on 18 to finish the round at Even Par. I could of closed the door out on meyo but now he has an opening. If he puts together another fourth round like last week, I'm a dead dog. Anyways, I changed my mind about this course. I like it now. Felt better in round 3 and 4. I still don't like the look of the greens but I think the course looks better for some reason. Truth be told, I prefer these graphics over EA Golf. Deep Dark Greens and everything looks much closer to real life for me. And the gameplay is amazing. Love It. GL and HF you Sons of Bees! (I pray that ericvanderek implodes over the weekend)   |

Frans / Tombs - thanks for the confirmation.
As you can tell, I’ve not won in CC either…)
Pen - an implosion is always highly likely, but if it’s going to hack you off I’ll do my best to avoid it this one time…

I had it, it was there, was 5 shots back of @pen Knight and managed to crawl my way back. Tied with 4 holes to go and then the wheels fell off on the par 5 a hole that should have been an easy bird. This one is yours Mr. Knight.................  Warning this Video contains explicit language............ |
