Just a heads up that the next PS4 tourney starts today! 3 rounds, this time experimenting with weather and green/fairway firmness. Hopefully should be fun!

Want a similar experience....? Have the ball get hung up in the grass beside the green with those wood planks (Louisiana course) and you can't advance the ball. I was -2 on the 17th hole, had one get caught up in that area, and proceeded to take a 10...and miss qualifying for the KF Tour.Soooo that was a brutal experience. I wasn't sure what impact the rain would have in terms of gameplay, and during the fist half of the first round I couldn't really tell any difference. On the 10th hole, I hit a shot into a greenside bunker - no biggie, I line up my shot and my power, just like I always do, take the shot...and it goes three feet. Apparently, rain + bunkers = BAD. Ended up with a +3 on the hole, which pretty much ruined my entire first round and tourney.
Also, for the record, I absolutely hate how touchy the putting is in this game. I'm also convinced some of the people who coded the physics in this game need to go back to physics school or something.
I have found what has helped me is just figuring out the best way to put my thumb on the stick to keep it straight. I almost turn the controller a little in my hand when I putt. I do a very slow pull back and a quicker push forward. I still have some bad ones...playing career mode at lunch and luckily I was on fire with GIR because I had one hole in round 3 of a tourney where I three-putted and it was just stupid...so it still happens...but I have gotten a lot better with it. Starting to get better at the reads, as well.Soooo that was a brutal experience.

You sound like me with how I hold the controller and make my swing. I use a pencil grip / pinch method whereby only my index finger (top of knob) and thumb (bottom of knob) make the swing motion. Seems to work very well....I have found what has helped me is just figuring out the best way to put my thumb on the stick to keep it straight.

I may give that a try...I just use my thumb. I either put the thumbtip flat on top of the pad or I put it on the front edge, slowly pull back and then push forward. Those are my two putter "grips".You sound like me with how I hold the controller and make my swing.

Clearly they must have found Reed was cheating and assessed a penalty stroke. Man this game is realistic.Strange confusing ending in my first PGA event. I mean I won which was awesome but.... the way it happened. 1st tourney of the year. Patrick Reed and I end tied after round 4. NO Playoff! The announcer says something like "and by count back this golfer is declared the winner".
Such a let down. How can you have no playoff? We both were awarded 400 Fed Ex Cup points too.
Needs to be a better way to see what other golfers are near you in score are doing. Cut scenes to Thomas chipping in for the 7th time in a four round tournament are brutal.
Shot a -3 in the first round with an unfortunate bogey on 18.
Can't say I love the decision of this course/conditions, but all good!
Hated it.... left half way through the second round. Didn’t pay enough attention to what set up was so used my 3 putt reads before the 3rd hole. Struggled with chipping...I was so mad
Totally hear you - my first round was abysmal.
What did you (and others) not like in particular? Just want to make sure I keep track so as to not have similar things for future tournaments.
I really like unlimited putt preview. I think there was far too many difficult changes on this one. I could have coped with the conditions if the putting was a preview per shot.
How much longer does this one last? I haven’t had a chance to be on in a week and don’t want to miss out on this one lolFor the current Xbox society tourney group playing 2 rounds at East Lake...
Anyone find the conditions on a couple holes make them nearly unplayable/unfair?
Hole 14...par 4...into the wind. I go perfect driver, driver and I'm still short??
Hole 15...island par 3...crosswind. 5w off the tee, lands on right edge of green, rolls off and into water...drop is...back at the tee box?? WTF?! Why do I not get to drop in the rough next to green?
I shot +17 for the tourney and am the leader(????) as of now but don't see that holding up. Sad when 2-3 holes on this course cost me 12-15 strokes.
