Well, I completed the tournament today and would have to say I'm pleased overall. Finished:
67-68-65-67 = -21
I had six birdie putts slip past the lip in round three -- could've posted a monster score and put myself in great position. Still, no balls out of bounds and bogey free in the final two rounds. Can't get too greedy.
Again, good luck to all and it will be very interesting to see what the winning scores will be. Fun, challenging tournament. Hats off to Dr. Yeti!

so I just froze on hole 15 drive on round 1. cranking back up and hoping all is well. *edit* logged back in to watch my drive get replayed and it looks like I'm good to continue. whew *edit
also, for me the update last night fixed my 95% swing issues. now I'm hitting all but 1 of my drives 100% again, the 1 95%er was my fault and as soon as I started my downswing I knew it was gonna be soft.
tough course and I'm dreading round 2's high winds and rain.

You could be ok though mate as most people who have commented on the %swing since the update have said it's fixed for them, the previous post being one example. Obviously I can only speak for myself to say it's still very inconsistent. Nevertheless, I know it'll get better with practice and practice is what I shall do!

Well I did have a decent 2nd round going until it glitched and I hit a drive with 46% power out of bounds and ended up making something like a 10 on that hole. After that the round was a complete disaster. So disappointed but cant be helped I suppose.
I will have to finish the round off tonight as I turned my xbox off in a rage!! haha.

My first round was 66 missing 3 or. 4 easy puts. The second round was a little worst with 69 strokes but I felt good with the rain. And the third round was only 72. I went out of bounds one time by the wind. I had a wind of 6-10 Mph not bad the 3 days. Tomorrow I will play the final round that I think that is the most difficult. I hope to stay on the top 30 to delete my way to cc-d tour.

Well after the update i still get 95% but i can tell when im going to get it. You have to go stragiht forward once you stop. Before i would almost let it float sorta and then slam it through. Now i think the secret is straight back and forth. To me it was more natural before. No one jerks a golf swing like i have to for 100%
Now with that being said, I decided to try to swing left stick. I had all 100% swings when i wanted them except one or two and my swing was bad on them so they were justified.
I guess im going to learn to play lefty. I shot -1, and +1. Was playing great but a few triples crushed my dreams.

Was playing great but a few triples crushed my dreams. I tend to only get it with the approaches now mate but when I do its typically one where I'm either trying to get over sand or water. Obviously I could club up but then no doubt I'll hit 100% then and it'll go too far. I just have to accept it but I just don't think I'll ever be able to play at my max strength because of it. I think on Hoodoo I could have gone close to -8 or -9 per round so that's how much it's effected my game. No doubt with HBS though they'll bring out another patch and we'll all be back to square one again! The next tournament will be a nightmare too as there's a good couple of shots over sand and water. To add to that, the winds in practice are seriously strong and the pin locations make birdies extremely tough. Nice looking course though once again.

One last thing I would like to touch on in respect of the 95% swing. It seems a lot of people have managed to adjust their's to achieve a consistent 100% than those that haven't since the patch, which is great and I've no complaints. We all want the game to play fair, the forthcoming wind fix being an example. Surely it would have been more logical for HBS to have left it alone as at least then we'd all be equal. For a lot of people now (and it doesn't matter if you have 1 or 100 shots at 95%) it just isn't.

I also always seem to get it on approaches and not drives. It seemed to happen on certian holes also. Not so random but the same approach shot would always get 95%. I used to play real golf right handed and changed after college to left. So this will be a similar transition lol.

70-71-79-79. The last two rounds were just killer for me. I wonder if they have a stat for number of times I hit OB..And the wind kept on getting lower for me, I was down to 1-2 MPH for the most part in round 4. Just brutal.

new patch worked wonders for me on XB1, no more 95% shots at all.
now if only there weren't ridiculous OB areas on the course, like hitting the green on a break on a par 3 but the area around the green is so slanted that the shot then collects speed and rolls OB... or hitting a drive dead center of the fairway but the fairway is so slanted and firm that the shot shoots so far right that it somehow ends up OB but only like 5 feet off the fairway.
I like Yeti's courses but the OB and fairway/rough elevation changes were silly along with 14+ winds.
I was so pissed at the point that I ended up just mashing through my last hole and 4 putting for a +4.
finished dead even after 4 rounds. -1,-1,-2,+4

So I did some quick checks to see how bad its affecting me.
Before the update my GIR% was WK1 72.2% 88.9% 94.4% Wk2 94.4% 100% 89.9% 83.3% Wk3 83.3% 83.3% 94.4% 94.4%
Since the update my first two rounds are 38.9% and 66.7%
This is where its affecting me most is on my approach. I guess because on the drives i can slam it a little more, but on approaches im trying to do a smoother swing. Either way, its def making this less fun. I was fighting for top 10s. Now I couldnt get a top 10 if only 9 people registered.

funny check it out no more easy swing to hit 100% been pushing controller up harder to make sure i get all power now i am not hitting straight. so it will only effect the players that swing soft. so we will see how long this update lasts and if we can all adjust to it. i did like the course this week felt more like a real tournament with the wide range of scores, everyone not shooting under will make lots not happy. OB was a little to much but only hit it on practice rounds so very happy with my scores. good luck everyone next week with the update have fun it is just a game. I will always do my best and post what i shoot good or bad.
