True! I always forget about that.

Still hanging on to a top 5 spot through 3 rounds. Hopefully my 4th round score holds up

terrible course IMO...and desert courses are my favorite.... not in the history of golf has there EVER been out of bounds directly between the tee and the green that separates fairways. You are sure entitled to your opinion, and I fine with people not enjoying my courses... but your comments come across as pouting, after a few poor rounds where you got caught up in some OB. As far as there never in the history of golf (lol) having a hole like that.... you mean... like this? Look familiar? The hole in question was based on this real hole in Nevada. This picture was taken approximately where I landed, after hitting 5W off the tee. If I would have hit driver....it would have rolled through the fence....into a desert area...which was (wait for it...) out of bounds! or....like this... "NEVER in the history of golf has there been...." oh, wait... BTW, MOST desert courses I have played have a very strict "The Desert is Out of Bounds" policy. This is so people don't go and ruin the sensitive native vegetation. Also, snakes... Edit: Sorry if it seems like I'm attacking you personally, I was just a tad frustrated by that somewhat ignorant statement. Cheers, Yeti.

Loved the course. One of my shots landed out of bounds although it didn't cross the white markers. More likely an issue with the game rather than the designer. Anyway, I recovered with an ace(did I mention that yet?)

First, I appreciate the time the designer (Yeti I believe?) took to make the course. I live in an area where most of the desert courses allow you to play from the desert, but I certainly realize there are MANY in other areas that do not allow it. Some courses mark them as hazards, some courses mark them as OB, some as nothing. That's how it goes. When you design your own courses you can do as you please.
Visually intimidating throughout the entire 18, especially off the tee. Probably should have played a practice round to familiarize myself with the track but that would have been too smart!
First tournament I've played on this tour, how lucky are we to have this kind of set-up... For free?! For every whiner complaining about all this free stuff, there are 100 of us that appreciate the work put in by designers and tour staff.
Edit: time to learn about this demotion stuff after -13 before and +17 after the cut!

I HAVE LOVED THE COURSE. My best on it is a -11, a constant score until the update for the Xbox came and I started sucking again . Therefore I am extremely proud of my score and position this week! TOP 15 so far, after having horrible results due to the 95% shots. I was scrambling like crazy and making some amazing putts (wish I would be able to make them for birdies next time lol). GIR 59.7%, on the lower side of the tour and still managed to reach the top 15 wohoooooooooo . Sorry, just looking for brighter side of this haha. Have been sucking lately

I'm on an exemption, if I make the top 70 do I get to stay on CC-A?

Depends...
While using a Sponsor's Exemption on the Challenge Circuit, you finish in the top 70 of all participants in the flight and finish in the top 3 of Exemption participants OR finish in the top 70 of all participants in the flight and within 10 strokes of the top Exemption participant in the flight.
So were you in the top 3 of sponsor exemptions or within 10 strokes of the top exemption?

So were you in the top 3 of sponsor exemptions or within 10 strokes of the top exemption? A lot of scores have yet to be submitted but as of now I am sitting at #38 overall, 2nd in exemptions, but a whopping 21 strokes behind the top exemption (who is currently the top leaderboard).

Shot +3 for the tourney. Battled the swing change for the PS4. It was kind of a guessing game on every shot. HB Studios really messed this game up. Their testing is poor to say the least. They turned a fun game into garbage overnight. A swing that use to be a fluid motion has turned into a quick flick at the end to get the desired power. I will give it a couple of weeks for them to fix. If a fix is not in place I will have to abandon what was once a great game.

What was up with the high number of WD this week in CC-A? I appreciate it though. Last week I shot -22 and finshed in 90+ place and got my first strike. This week I have my worst tournament ever and shot -1 and managed to finish in the top 70. If I wouldn't have had a 12 on #10 in round four I probably could have erased my strike. Crazy stuff.

I understand life can get in the way of completing your rounds but I still feel you should get a strike if you DNF. No integrity.

I agree with this, I am on two strikes now, I knew I would be going into my last round. I could have not played to avoid my second strike but it does not feel right or fair to other players.
