Got my first round in last night and had fun! Since I still need 2 more rounds in q school does this mean I play to scratch? What if I finish a school before I play my 2nd round?

[longhornlove]

I just got offline and still saw the honda, not showing the wgc.

still isn't showing up for me

[longhornlove]

still isn't showing up for me

neverming, found it.

[longhornlove]

Played my two rounds, played pretty well but 3 putts killing me, just can't figure it out. +18 total I think for both rounds.

Do you have 2 yard gimmies on? Putting does take a while before you can read the green as well as the seasoned guys.

yep got gimmes on.

[keither5150]

When playing a practice round and you are facing a tough putt....maybe 20-40 feet or so. Turn on Autorewind and putt away. This is really helpful to get used to putting when on a different tier. I made a short video that shows all putts from 3 or 4 rounds. You can get an idea of how much break to give it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqtFoBTyGHA

[goodmatt78]

Are stats kept for practice rounds? How do you keep them from adjusting your HC Index?

[aja]

TGC does not differentiate wheteher you are playing a practice round or not. All stats are kept for completed rounds at least.

One way to avoid affecting your HC is to not complete the round.

[ProTee United]

Your HC index in the game will only be adjusted if you finish a handicap rated course. Every course in the database shows if its handicap rated or not. TPC Boston in this tour is NOT handicap rated so you can practice and finish the course as many times as you want without affecting your HC index.

Your Tour Handicap is different from your game handicap. We try to match it, but its recalculated on tournament rounds.

So its possible that your game handicap goes up while your tour handicap goes down....

Just went 80-79 on TPC Boston. My handicap is 20 in TGC and 5 in non-sim golf but I am no sandbagger. I read a thread about aiming with the PC rather than with your putter and had a major breakthrough today.

[Bubba22]

Nice rounds. Your handicap will go down. Welcome to the tour!

[keither5150]

Once you get used to putting, your handicap will go down. On putts longer than 12 feet or putts with a lot of break, I aim with the PC. Shorter putts I just aim the appropriate amount of distance off center. Sometimes when I am in a hurry, I don't aim with the PC or mouse at all. When I bought the sim, I always thought that putting would suck. It is actually one of the best things about the sim thanks to TGC. Red Chain and E6 (played the demo about 6 times) aren't nearly as realistic. For those that feel TGC putting is not realistic, in time you will change your mind.

[Mike80]

Please advise! I don't see the tournament under Public Competitions. I'm ready to play now. See image.

[Mike80]

Never mind. I was clicking in Play Tour and not Play Tournament. All good! I see it now.

[SwingHarder]

Not sure what my handicap is after last week, but I'm definitely gonna look like a sandbagger this week. I think I finally figured out short chips and putting. Just went 78-70. If these scores even slightly transfer to the real course, then building a sim will be the best investment I've ever made.

[keither5150]

I am golfing in Mexico in about 4 weeks. Since my last round IRL, my handicap has dropped about 7 strokes in the game. IRL my handicap has always been 5-10 strokes higher. I will post my real life scores when I get back.

[SwingHarder]

Nice. Enjoy it. I live in the chicago area and got out a couple times in February. It was tough to judge improvement since both times I was fighting 20+mph winds.

[Joko]

Halfway through my second round. Doing better, good course for us high handicappers. I'll finish up today.

What is the next course on the tourny? Would like to get a practice round in this weekend.

Royal troon. Man just played 15, long course and tight fairways. Tough. And we play it for 3 rounds, ouch.

[Cklguy2013]

Is there a way to match our names on TGC with here?

[Cklguy2013]

I figured it out.

[mthunt]

Did you just change your name in edit golfer? Will that name show up in tournaments? I'd think it would.

[Cklguy2013]

Yes changed name it edit golfer and yes it did change in tournaments.

[Shardak]

Had a great first round...+2. . Fell apart badly on the 2nd round for a +9. Couldnt drive, couldnt putt. I hate 7 foot putts! Just out of gimmie range, and they seem so much harder to read on a sim than they do in real life.

[TRenn]

Royal troon is a beast

[Joko]

Yea me no likey.

[Bubba22]

Remember, it's a major!

[Joko]

Yeah it's fine just long in my opinion. Either way I'm a high handicapper just learning to hit shots. I'll have to see how the real course compares next weekend. But either way I appreciate the effort.
