Round 1Clumsy putting cost me today, but salvaged the round with 3 birds in the last 4 holes. And my eagle putt on #18, which should have moved slightly right, didn't move at all to deny me the perfect finish. I hate that - it was almost good to be back lol...

round 1 - fought the very fast again - not sure why - hang over from last tourny Round 2 - started to find my swing again - my putter kept getting caught on my rubber boots (hate 119 greens)

Round 2Great start and a bogeyless front - I couldn't have asked for more. An annoying dropped shot on #13 spoilt the card, but I got it back on #15, then finished with a very good birdie putt on #18 to complete a good round (for me)...

Round 1. Well this is a course ive usually played well on all platforms but the game hit me with everything, especially fasts and shooters, nicely on green for 2 on 6th then 6 putted and it continued thru the round. Had enough now thinking of moving on to the new EA Sports game which is out soon.

Had enough now thinking of moving on to the new EA Sports game which is out soon. I would like to see this venue moved to 2k23, I feel left behind playing the older version on 2k19. I only play out of respect for Bob. Plus I like being able to hit up or down on the ball to create more or less spin in 2k23. I'm holding off on EA.....Not sure they even have societies ? No designer has me wondering how long it will be before players get tired of the 30 courses included and only playing their tour setup Just thoughts!

I'm sure we would get a lot more players if we moved to 2K23. I have 2K23 but only played it a few times, it seemed a bit complicated to me (a simpleton). If we were to set up this format on 2K23 I would need someone to set up the society, applying the same settings we use here (if possible). I could be an Admin to enable me to enter the schedules, etc.
However, if we did attract more players by moving to 2K23, how many of them would abuse the rules to gain unfair advantages? I can't help thinking that this would happen (not sure why) and there would be little we could do about it.
Just my thoughts...

Just my thoughts... would be the end of me - not sure I have it in me to learn a new game at this stage of my life - I would not be interested in an admin position - can't imagine trying calculate a handicap system with that many players - that all shoot -13 consistently. Bob and Randy you would do well, Les I did not know EA had a new game out it's not something I keep track of. If and when Bob stops doing these tours that is when I quit playing online. My old equipment will not run 2K23, But I respect those that want to move on. Ian

Round 2 After round 1 did another re install of game but made no difference to gameplay for first 6 holes 3 putt on 4 with shaky graphics and same on par 5 6th. Took graphics down too lowest setting which did help and had an acceptable last 12 holes. Still left a few out there but that was down to my shite readings.

Round 3 Got off to a great start, then seemed to go to sleep from holes 8 thru 13 with a 3 putt bogey on hole 10 being the blemish on the card. Very happy with score but ruing missing very makeable putts on 17 and 18 for birds.

Round 3Couldn't quite believe what was happening here. I was in dreamland at the turn having carded 2 eagles and 3 birdies - and not a hint of a bogey. I was hitting the ball well and finding the pins for a change. Made a couple of good saves on the back, and the birds on #17 and #18 were very satisfying. Very possibly my best ever round. Or was it because the course and the conditions were too easy?!

Round 4A nervy start even though I birdied the 1st. Bogeyed #3 but then eagled #6 for a welcome kick-start, and a birdie on #8 settled me down a bit. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy a bird after that and had a run of 10 consecutive pars, which meant I missed a great opportunity of winning this tourney. I think I used up all my good shots and putts in Round 3!!
