Much better start
Round 2 not as good
Round 3 getting worse
Round 4, just managed to hold on to even par and finish -7 under for the four rounds.
Interesting as I was playing, it was showing you (@Rhinosaurus) around 10 holes in front, I guess to give me a comparison of how far I was behind. I think the last round I had, I could see I was 8 shots behind, so was trying harder and taking a few more risks.
These tournaments are good fun and a great way to play a course multiple times. I’m happy with the improvement and think its a little bit easier being on my laptop whilst away from my main PC.

+7 round 1, -2 round 2, On a serious note, am I the only one that has to intentionally hook puts to the left to get them to break properly, But only when the green slopes down from left to right facing the hole. Otherwise it’s either just miss or no break at all when there clearly should be.
I don’t have that issue.
yeah we noticed 
oh well, +1 and +2 leaves me at +8 overall…
I just finished the first round at -11. I was putting out of my mind, never did so well. One of the greens, however, is like the grand canyon and I ended up bogey’ing that one do to a 3 putt performance.

Well, I just did practice round at Faxon and fell off the bike. +40.
Looks like I’ll be skipping this round, especially since it will cost me coin to lose.
Ouch. That’s unfortunate.
As an aside for everyone… These opening tournaments are set with easier difficulties / default settings. Later championships/majors will have higher difficulty levels to reflect the intent of the tournament.

Had a good first round. Got a little worried with my first few holes…bogeyed the opener, never a good start, and doubled #4 and thought I was in for a really rough round. I was just being slow on my swing temp resulting in some errant shots…cleaned up my swing pace for the rest of the round and settled in. And I liked the course - no gimmicky spots to really get yourself into a jam. Of course, I enjoy some of the gimmicky courses too just for the challenge of it…
Looks like they changed the program and you can now finally display your final scorecard…yay!
We are all chasing Coach76 (that you @Gunnyhighway?) - apparently you only see how people are doing relative to your rounds completed since I don’t see @keets score reflected in his subsequent rounds.

Yes it only shows the score on that screen live. You should see total round score on the society page though.
And the scorecard not showing is just for PGA Tour mode.
Speaking of which, I won the 2nd event (alternate since I wasn’t invited to the Champions version). Barely hung on. Did not have a good final round… couldn’t read the quickness of the greens to save my life. So different than the first 3 rounds.

So basically the game tracks the statistics of everyone playing the round, and gives them to you throughout the four rounds based on where other player’s are at or near the same points in the round(s). If I’m understanding that right. Which is a good way to do it…keeps you eyeing how people are doing relative you throughout the rounds. Half the fun of golf is watching people climb and fall on the leaderboard… Well, maybe not half the fun. Beer is a significant slice of the fun.

Actually looks like it hides the various rounds. I guess it’s the game’s way of encouraging people to keep playing, since if you see someone way ahead you may just quit playing (or not enter).
I only see the scores for people who have completed all 4 rounds.

I shot a 61 somehow in round one and have been nursing the lead ever since. I think I am in front still anyway.

Well, I got it downloaded and played a first round. I’m using the wireless X-Box controller that came with my Rift. Pretty neat.

Second round at Faxon Park was a little better. Again, a nervous start with a lead off bogey (ugh)…settling in with a string of pars before finding my stride and managing seven birdies out of the remaining ten holes. A couple missed opportunities with putts that just didn’t go. And I played the par 5s conservatively on the front nine…ended up laying up a couple shots because I wasn’t confident I could make the tight approach to the green with my 3-wood (ya’ know…that muscle spasm in the back swing that puts you in the water…)
That -10 second round was a barn burner @Rhinosaurus!

Ya! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to keep it up. Coach is already at my final score lol.

Wrapped up the third and fourth round. Forgot to take a screen of my 3rd round scorecard, but some simple math says I shot a -5 on round three, and a -5 on round four to finish up at -19. Pretty happy with my fourth round play…a clean card for once with no bogeys but missed a few opportunities for birdie putts to take some strokes out of @Gunnyhighway’s massive lead. By the middle of round three I knew I was just competing for second place. Fun tournament…a single bad shot could really do some damage on the leaderboard!

Um…are you all aware that this thread is growing faster than the HB F-14 and FA-18 thread combined?
I might suggest a 12-step programing may be in order.

I don’t recommend that as that’s exactly what put me firmly in last place
