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. I think it should be harder to hit a perfect shot. The thing I like best about this game is the realism and I would like to see our tours more reflective of real life. Scores in the 50s should be incredibly rare. The fact it takes more skill to hit a straight shot 100 percent, I think, is a good thing. In the end, as Jerry said, it's just a game and we all have to adjust to the changes, which I think are going to make the tours stronger in the long run. Going to be an interesting tournament this week. Loa Pali is deceptively difficult, especially when the wind is howling, and -15 might be enough to win. Good luck to all and see you on the course.

Completely agree about the winds. Loa Pali is a tough cookie in 15mph+ winds. Should be a great tournament if the wind fix is in play.

The wind is everything on this course -- just played it in wind less than 8 mph and fired a 58. But if the wind is 15 or higher, par is a good score. Going to be very interesting.

Hmm, don't know why it formatted like that. It's my comment from "The wind is everything ..." forward.

Hmm, don't know why it formatted like that. It's my comment from "The wind is everything ..." forward. You're fine, I understood you! Likewise, I shot a 60 or 61 in 9 mph winds so as you say, the wind will definitely be the make or break on that course. If two rounds are under 10mph and the other two are 15mph+ then I would guess -30 will be there or thereabouts to win it this week. Still no wind fix update though so not sure what's happening there? And well done on your -21 on Hoodoo mate. You were two shots behind me after the 3rd round but beat me by three! 4th round was the first time I hadn't gone under par. So on that note I'm officially announcing you as my rival young man! That should be good for Top 3 assuming there's no late scores submitted :thumbup:

No luck at all mate. You have to earn it on Hoodoo that's for sure and -5 on those final round pins is a very very good score. I just couldn't get my putting going in the final round and with a few holes to go I was +2 so I was pleased to get it back to Even in the end. Still a fair few people who have yet to submit scores so if I can get a Top 10 I'll take that! And the very best of luck to you too bud. It'll be fun alright!

I think my last round was my best round. But I also finally figured out how to hit it 100% now. Just takes a little more concentration and a forceful and complete downswing (up flick). I finished around even par for the tourney. My first practice round at Loai was a welcomed change with no elevation changes and wide fairways. Plenty of birdies on this course up for grabs.

Agreed mate. Lovely to find that 100% swing again. Took a while but better late than never!

Cool sir paul & smitty i am making both of you my rivals so we all can chat and have more fun see you next week Hi Jerry. Welcome to the rivals tour and congrats on your -17! Just checking the final round scores and it seems a lot of people struggled with those final round pins as lots of 70+ scores. Makes my 72 seem not so bad! It's just turned 5:20am here in the UK. It's like my brain tells me to wake up at 5am just to check the scores every time each round is updated. This game is giving me insomnia! Good luck in the next tourney mate!

Just looking at my final round scorecard. Man that looks rough! Just one bogey in the first 3 rounds then 4 in that final round.
I honestly thought I was +2 with a few holes to play and had made a couple of birdies to finish Even but clearly not. Shows how much that round messed my head up. Never do I want to see a scorecard like that again. Ugly!

Wow, I was in the 100s rank with my +16. Then I guess about 40 players were moved to WD status and I made the cut! woohoo!
