I usually do all 4 at once. I practice all week at home with distractions. usually do a quick play through the first few rounds. Then I go to work and play 2-3 rounds to get my putting feel down, if Im putting pretty consistent then ill go ahead and play the tourney. There are times I have to hit pause and take a break, but its only a few minutes. My opinion though is a round should probably be finished once started. Not the tourney, just the current round. Now things happen that sometimes we cant control so I dont think it should be a penalized heavily. I know its not real, but no one would be allowed to stop mid tourney on the course and come back later to finish there round. question about tourney winds: could someone sit and wait for the wind to change directions every hole if they had the time? Or does it stay pretty much the same? The reason I ask is ill do the math on a shot and before I decide which club to use the wind has shifted. Does it do this all the time? Completely agree. Winds can change slightly with time but not enough to make a difference on most shots. Maybe the odd time when a bit more wind is required to carry an obstacle. |

The wind shifts minimally, but it is not random. It is pretty much exact across the consoles and over the same time period. Re: The start what you finish thing: When I do not intend to finish all four rounds in one sitting, I always play the first shot of the next round to avoid the 1 ft glitch back on the previous rounds' 18th hole. |

Me personally I never play good enough to be anywhere near the top. So I play my first 2 rounds, and wait and see if i even make the cut before I play the final 2 rounds

Play 2 usually and then wait to see. I also usually try to play when the tournament goes live for a number of reasons. I don't like knowing before I start what the top score is...gets in my head knowing I'm already 4 behind on the turn first round. And I have young kids so if I can do 2 rounds Friday night it is less stressful. However, if I feel like I'm playing well I might do all 4. That happens about once every 5 tournaments. And it's all about feeling with the greens and putting for me. Some days I just have a good sense of the breaks and speed, other days I can't make 5 footers with a slight bend. I haven't noticed a huge difference in my scoring either way I play. The only thing I've really changed since going to the web.com tour is not practicing as much. I think that wears me down. I used to try 3-4 practice rounds. But I found my first couple of attempts were the best scores I had on a course, so I started doing that with the tournaments. Hasn't helped a huge amount but I don't get burned out on the game that way. |

I used to always play all 4 rounds back-to-back nonstop. Now I've started to play 2 rounds, take a break and come back to finish the last 2. Usually just a 30-60 min break but just something to refresh my focus I guess.

I normally only get time to play 2 rounds at once so split it across a number of days. When playing TST I will often play a round of TST first then a round of the main tour. Coming back to main tour often feels relatively easier after playing TST! Seems to be working too, because I've gone from CCD to CCB in 3 weeks having been CCD for 4 months.

I try to play as many as I can as quick as I can, but to warm up I have created a little course on gncd where I set firmness and speed of the greens to what course I'm playing and hit a few shots to she how the roll out and bounce goes and to get my thumb warmed up lol.

That's interesting... never even thought one could do this. I'm curious, why you don't just play the course used in the actual event/tourney? |

Yeah it's pretty easy, bit like a driving range with massive greens lol, The main reason is there is no wind and elevation so I can get a neutral feel on the roll of the ball, its also just two clicks away not having to go and look for the course, just me being lazy  |

All 72 holes in one sitting. About 2.5 hours on a weekend morning.
