I'm +1 through 2 rounds.
+5 R1. Par mania, quad on 6 thanks to 2 water balls thanks to being right on the marker of okay slow and very bad slow, guess which side it went to. Then a double on 17 with more water ball action. Oh yeah, one more between them on 14th par 5 for a bogey. 2 birdies with a 18.5 footer on 18 for one of them. Might be the only one I made so far from any distance.
-4 R2. Way more action on the card including 2 eagles (how?), one of them was played well and the other came on a lucky chip from heavy stuff. 5 bogeys on the card knocking the score down massively.
Not hitting the ball nearly as badly as I was expecting to be considering I've played Legend... not much at all before, like a round or 2. That's about all I can say for now... until I finish this week.
Cheers, good luck this season.

A big pushed drive on the first hole and in the drink and a double on my first TST hole for the new season but did managed to fight back in round 1 to -3. Way too aggressive in the first 3 rounds especially on the par 5s, over 10 balls in the drink first 3 rounds when I am telling everyone that course management is key. I did manage some really good long putting in those 3 rounds with a 27 foot par putt, 26 and 37 foot birdie putts and really nice 50 footer for eagle. Putted well this week just lost too many balls to the wet stuff.
Different strategy round 4 and the wind picked up a little bit, like Frans I like the wind as it makes you play the shot to the wind and man my game was so much better and thought out, 7 birdies no bogies walking onto the 18th tee and could of been 9 under as I had couple of close lip out birdies. My only bogey was from approach to 18 and again in the drink with an unkind bounce, cannot remember so many water balls in any round in this game. I am guessing 13 over these four rounds. +1 finish and would play this course very differently next time.
Loved every minute, bring on week 2. Well done Frans and Matt for this big change to TST, Legend feels so much more like real golf than master could ever be as we need a bit of dispersion in the game.
Loved the course by the way, played superbly and set up just right.

Is there a glitch on your score mate? Should be -14 but showing as minus -13 on the leaderboard in the screenshot lol maybe it just hadn't processed yet? This happens to me all the time... 18th hole is always disregarded on the leaderboard and only processes after very slowly and carefully leaving the society, and even then it sometimes doesn't. Been like that for months now. Huh, I've never noticed that. It picked up my hole in one on 18 each round though, yeah?! Lol |

Go forward and you do do get the proper 18 hole leaderboard. Press X there are options for scorecard stats etc it is all accurate for me from that point. Coming from someone that needs to pick up accurate leaderboards 😉 |

The top players go at it 100% when they play so they are not just being robotic anymore with this current difficulty setting. |

One of my faves from mbuenger . I bombed the 4th round but managed to chip in an eagle on the 18th to lessen the damage. Looking forward to the season fransslabak . This should be fun!  |

Couple of Es on the weekend to stay at +1.
3 birdies in R3 wiped out by a triple on 10 and nothing else on the score front happened after that. What a boring round for me.
2 doubles, 2 bogeys in R4. Managed to just do enough to get back to even. Even after my game crashed as I was teeing off on hole 5.
Oh well. Shrug and move on to give it a go again next week I suppose.
Cheers, good luck.

Little bit of time left but looks like it was horusphoenix week. Congrats Mark and well played mate! Thanks a lot mate. Well played yourself last week in TST and congrats on your Elite win! Just to echo the thoughts of others in this thread, really enjoyed the first event of the season on legend. Thanks fransslabak for keeping an open mind to make the change to legend and trying something different to the other tours. It was a brave move but certainly think & hope it will pay off down the line. I had a lot of shots last week where I completely ignored the flag and played 30-40ft away into the middle of the green and just played for the par, this isn't something you really can afford to do on Masters. You've got to be a bit more focused on legend, but I just enjoy the fact you have to think your way around the golf course a bit more and there is more emphasis on course management, which I always think is a positive thing. Plus, on legend a slight miss with a driver can end in disaster, so my 3wood is starting to see less of the bag and more of the course. Anyway, really glad to hear quite a lot of other players enjoyed the first week and challenge legend presents. It was a stunning course and setup to kick off the season. Good luck to all in the season ahead. |

Cheers Ross asyoudo64 , think if I won Platinum & TST in the same week, I'd have checked if there were some flying pigs outside, then I'd have retired from golf on the spot. 😂 It can only go downhill for me anyway from here for the rest of the season…but I’ll enjoy the good start to the season. Hope you doing well down under mate & you are getting out for some golf in real life. Hopefully, see you on a Friday night/Saturday morning some time soon.👍🏼 |

Fortunately my hill is a lot smaller to come down than yours 🤔🤣 |
