TGC 2017/2018 Winter Tour - Honda Classic

[Shardak]

Tough course.

85 in round 1, I recorded it but it contained some colorful language so I didnt upload.

Round 2, shot 80. Had some really bad moments which are fun to watch. The shot at the 9 minute mark was a heart breaker! Had a quad-bogey as well.

How about that track boys? It seems like the wrong version. I'm not sure. We need to dump it for something better in TGC2.

[CBG778]

That was a tough course ! There is no room to bail out anywhere . Oh well , I am having a great time playing the tour ! thanks for all you do !

[Jwheels9876]

Probably could be the wrong one when there's 25 courses with the same name for every real track in the world lol. It's a shame courses can't be deleted, there's about 99500 of them we should never play.

[LotharFriend]

Well, I did like that the water penalties were coded correctly on the course as most did not end up in "Stroke and Distance" but definitely a hard course!

[apeppin]

Character builder for sure.

[Timdm3]

Shat the bed on round 2. Actually felt nerves like it was an IRL tournament. Haven't felt that in a while it was fun.

[mthunt]

I hit 4 drives that landed in the fairway and rolled into the water. All went back to the tee. LOL. I’m out for round 2. Thanks for the 20 points.

[bob chung]

I hit one just over the green and short of the water, it put me back to fairway with penalty..
That never happened before....
Some of fringes are marked as heavy rough...
I recorded the round...
Maybe different course next time.

[mthunt]

The course had no fringes in a lot of places. Poorly created. We try to use real courses as much as possible but this one maybe no more

[kphdoc]

I agree with the course reviews....abnormally narrow fairways and landing areas. Also I may have missed the memo..... are the putts now being recorded accurately?

[Jwheels9876]

In all fairness, the pros aren't exactly tearing this course up either. Projected cut is like 4 or 5 over Par right now. Of course they're playing in 20 mph winds and stimp 12 greens lol.

[Kent]

It's a good thing that you don't lose balls when you hit them in the water. I was even after the first 9 and then had a double bogey and whatever a 6 over par is called on back to back holes. I was a total of 29 over for the two rounds. I was 25 over on 7 holes and and 4 over on the other 29. How does that happen?

[kphdoc]

If this sim allowed it, I would delete this course and many others. I would definitely prefer quality over quantity!

[BSCampbell]

I just locked up the bonehead move of the year for 2018! Playing along nicely at 1 under through 6, I line up a little left with a 4iron on the 210yd 7th. I then to proceed to hit a beautiful little fade landing into the center of the green then taking a slight hop right before curling perfectly back left into the hole for my 1st simulator hole in one! I followed this up by yelling at my buddy (we share the simulator and keep it in his garage). In my attempt to show him what just happened, I apparently hit the rewind button before hitting the watch replay so not only did it not count for my score, I didn't get to show my buddy the replay. Of course I followed that up with a double on the same hole and quit after bogeys on the next 2 holes. Maybe I'll finish tournament tomorrow, but I'm sick right now.

[Ports]

I did the same thing a couple weeks ago, not on an ace thankfully

[bob chung]

Wow. Nice ace!
I was playing a round, and made a double eagle on 18 hole, holed 3wood from 240yards.
Since that was last shot of the round, it didn’t give me a chance to save the shot nor replay it.
Luckily, I took a screenshot of scorecard with score 2, and showed it to my buddies.

[mthunt]

That sucks for sure. I did the same thing once. I tried to save the shot and hit rewind.

[mthunt]

At least there's not a lot of rewinds. lol To be fair stroke and distance shows up as a rewind and I manually check that. I doubt anyone hit it in the water 19 times and was put back on the tee. This is the most yet.

[bob chung]

Wow, Only 57 people have 3 rewinds/water balls!
Rest of them played Really good...👍
What ever I try to do, I couldn’t stay away from water!
I had 5 water balls, which means 5 rewinds!🤔
So.......

[BogesMalone]

We get to rewind if we hit the water? I thought there were no rewinds except for ghost hits and obvious accidents and such.

[mthunt]

No Boges. If you hit it in the water and go back to the tee it looks like a rewind as the yardage is repeated like this:

116 Honda Classic PT 7.00 Green 9.6 0.0 0.4 0.0 0 0 13.47
115 Honda Classic SW 36.00 Fairway 34.7 1.0 44.6 6.4 479 4273 24.56
114 Honda Classic W3 269.00 Fairway 142.9 -1.2 9.0 2.6 158 3484 220.15
113 Honda Classic W3 269.00 Fairway 139.7 -2.3 8.5 -6.5 -440 3870 204.38
112 Honda Classic DR 472.00 TEE 143.9 -1.5 11.9 -4.0 -177 2539 234.90
111 Honda Classic DR 472.00 TEE 120.4 -1.3 28.2 -32.9 -4683 7239 172.50


You have to add the recorded shots and look at the score to see if it's a rewind or ball in water. For this one, the person recorded an 8. 1 off the tee, 3 off the tee, 4 from the fairway, 6 from the fairway, 7 from the fairway and made the putt. Looks like 2 rewinds but there are none.

[Jwheels9876]

Or 19

[frackh]

I had to rewind a few shots due to mis-reads. When Skytrak shows crazy loft and/or spin on my driver or fw, data I can't even get on my wedges.

[wbond]

Seriously what is the point of having a tour anymore. This is a frigging joke. I don't think i've taken 5 rewinds since TGC became available on ST. I know my ST misreads at least 1-3 chips per round yet I do not rewind at all. I know it's shown a big fade when I haven't put a logo towards the unit and hit a draw for sure, yet i don't take a rewind then either. Its bad enough when you are playing with hardware which has limitations but then playing against people who are CLEARLY abusing this is just absurd. Pretty much done with this nonsense.

Why delete the names, anytime you take one, it should be called out plain and simple.

[Jwheels9876]

Should seriously have a column on the leaderboard with number of rewinds taken each week seeing how everyone is using the launch monitor misread a shot excuse.

I play the other software that is frowned upon here and they don't allow rewinds or boost and there is not ever a problem so it can certainly be done without causing an issue.

[mthunt]

I agree with you.

[wbond]

And i use ZERO boost. Guess that's part of the reason why no matter who the games selects as ghosts I'm always hitting from behind everyone.

[colinjm18]

You’ve clearly never played my ghost.

[kalcormier]

I agree with you wbond ZERO boost and ZERO rewinds!!
