My best round ever..... no bogies

[Fantastish]

It says the video is private when I tried to play it.

[mthunt]

I had a bogey and beat you. Lol

Now if only we could go Vincent to skip round 2

[keither5150]

video should be working now. Sorry...... had to go to hockey....didn't check it before leaving. Nice round mthunt.... I am not too sure that my score will hold up. VV still has to play another round.

[Vincent_Vega]

Geez. You two can't let me bask in the glory for even a few days? Haha. Very welldone mthunt. Looks like I better bring my A game for round 2.

[Ironstrokes]

Damn, you guys are tearing this course up. Great rounds! That first bogey free round is still a goal for me, close a bunch of times in the past but just cant break it

I played with your ghost and turn order on in round one. Your 8 birdies on the first 8 holes had me so tripped out I was like 4 over. I had to turn off your ghost to get it back to par in round one. Your shot on 9 wasn't bad either. There's the 59. Keither and I would appreciate a 75 from you in round 2. Lol

[keither5150]

Second that......75 please..... maybe put a few in the little bit of water that is on this course. JK....... with a 60 you deserve to win...... Your handicap will even go lower now.....

[Warpdave]

My round I played last night is not showing on leaderboard. Also my last 2 rounds from last week's Tournament disappeared also.???? Anyone know what's going on??????(

[ProTee United]

Your scores are not deleted. What is your TGC username?

[Warpdave]

It's warpdave

[Warpdave]

In TGC, It shows both my rounds...Round 1. 76 and round 2. 87. On the standings it only show my 2nd round of 87, and it shows it as round one.

[Bnorman58]

This is definitely a course where you have to drive it straight. I am struggling with my driver right now and it killed me. Hitting trees most every hole. No fun to have 200 yard shots into 380 yard holes.

[Vincent_Vega]

I had to take a rewind on 16, my first one of the winter or xmas tour as far as I can recall. 7 yard chip registered 10,500 spin and 1,200 sidespin. -12.1 horizontal launch and 52* vertical launch. Went about two feet and then spun back to me. I always just let it ride if I get a shot that seems maybe questionable based on what I felt, but this one was obviously an exception. Really don't remember ever getting a chip this screwy. Can be seen in my shot recording, but I recorded my round also and will post it when it's done uploading.

I've seen that crazy spinning real short chip before a couple times, not sure how they happen

[Vincent_Vega]

Shot mentioned happens at the 41:00 mark. Well struck chip that I hit straight.

Congratulations on a solid win.

[DukeJF]

ProTee United Anyone else notice the new leader on this thing after the fact with no shot recording on? Not exactly how happy Keith or VV would be to see?

[keither5150]

Sometimes people wander onto the tournament without knowing anything about this forum or the tour website. Maybe we can put some links to the tour and forum in TGC??? ProTee usually adjusts their handicap to a -36 and since they don't know about the tour, they don't care. I think that Protee will be adding some instructions on how to play on the tour with their TGC setup and download.

[keither5150]

Nice win Vincent for the Gross leaderboard..... so close to a 59. I do think that 60 is the current low score record. It would be cool if somebody kept track of that kind of stuff.

Congrats!!!!

[DirtyGarry24]

Agreed. You guys both played great this week. I hope they can sort out the issues with the guys with no shot recording.

keither5150 - Did I read somewhere that you used to be like a 15 handicap? If so, you should be the standard for what sim golf can do for a guys game. I've enjoyed watching both you and VV's recorded rounds.

[keither5150]

When I first started with the tour, I was a 14.2 I think. Back then, the goal was to get into single digits. I think that the secret is to play a lot. I have over 350 rounds since Aug 2015. And probably more than double that for practice time. My sim game is better than my RL game by almost 10 strokes. I will be working on closing that gap. IRL, I am hoping to get to a 6 or 7 handicap this year. If only I had the green lines on the green and 6 foot gimmes.
