I have to admit I enjoyed round 4 the most, I love that grind for par in extreme conditions. Was going well until double bogeys on 12 and 13 killed me. Grinded better than last week and 10 over for 4 rounds is a pretty good score on this setup and it was a tough course and conditions. Superb 4 round total Palutena and that 70 in round 4 from longpole is pretty special, best 70 round scored on this game so far I think. Realistic scoring and a proper challenge even for the top players. Shame more don't try to test themselves on this game. If I was hitting -40 to -50 every week I would not be still playing this game, no chance. Enjoyed this very much Craig / Hendomedes a proper tournament golf US Major like challenge.

Thanks mate and great shooting. Agreed on Longpole's 70. Funny him and I were chatting earlier and I think we both have the feeling that even though the 186's might be a little much in terms of realism the benefit of really asking you to focus on every shot, chip and putt is maybe worth the payoff. Merion is set up relatively tame in comparison so it'll be a good test to see how it effects scoring.

The pins were very realisticly placed , none on slopes so I think that course would of played great with 186 on firm or moderate. But you know what we were all playing the same set up and it was fun grinding out pars 😁

Blasted out two quick rounds as a bit of a preview for the event starting tomorrow. Bit sloppy but I reckon the course is plenty tricky even on tame-ish settings. My prediction is in the twenties to win. Play well!

Really enjoying this style of play . That 70 on the last Rd at the Manor was probably one of my best rds on the game . Even par . When loading in 10 people started the tourney 1 of pet hates I'd wish they would have a WD shown at the end makes the numbers 4 the society look good . Almost every chip and putt you had to think whether to push it or Lagg for par especially them downhillers. Fantastic Cheers . 🍻 Servers worked well this morning and had a very very enjoyable Rd at Merion. Conditions perfect fighting to save par at times . 👏 Rd 2 tomorrow. TAN this evening servers permitting.

TAN this evening servers permitting. Well played. 70 in that final round is great shooting. I'll be playing a little later this week. If I get the chance I'll try and take you as a ghost for the first round. I'm assuming you've posted a good score based on that message 🤔😂

Round One at Merion alongside the ghost of the (in)famous longpoleYour game is looking very solid Craig, great round If you hold fast forward at the end of a ghost's shot it locks it on to all of the ghost's shots till you cancel it. You can cancel in the middle of the ghost's shot by tapping Y. I needed someone here on the forums to tell me that, I thought it was a bug and was going to stop playing with ghosts as it was driving me nuts 🤪

booze, been a long time since I have seen him on ultra sim, I know he loves a challenge. Will get the Kinsley Manor multi platform leaderboard up tomorrow as I can't get to my PC this evening.

Round 1 at Merion was anything but boring 😆 That's a yoyo sort of Rd colly . Mine was little less exciting, 1 under , 3 birdies and 2 bogies boom 💥

No real danger until 18 and I think I made the second shot harder than it needed to be by overthinking it... Ah, that explains the fast forwarding! I couldn't work it out at all just that it seemed to stop if I tapped Y haha

I had some luck on a couple of approaches that bounced in towards the hole and you had no luck whatsoever on the greens. Was nice to play with the ghost I must say. I think anymore than one ghost and I lose all rhythm so one is perfect. colly45 that must have been some eagle on 8! Btw I'm glad I changed these from 186 in all honesty. Myself and LP seemed to have some slippery putts and chips that I think would've been impossible on anything higher than 155.

Gutted I missed the stream Craig , bringing my daughter home from work normally takes 10 but an accident ( not me ) so took me 50 and littery was on 18 when I popped in . I'll give a watch shortly . Gutted I missed birdies on the 1st 2 holes . Some chips were like fist punches 👊 to grab par . Once again enjoyed it , yeah more then 1 ghost becomes a bit slow 🐌 remember press Y again to deactivate the fast pace . I messed about this morning on career mode on these settings and went through making it as though the AI s were on the same wave length . Enjoyed it as I've never really gone through the career mode scene. Might reset it again and stream the events it give me confidence and less nervous to stream the main society events and ill even chuck the commentary on and take the mic . 👍
