-9 for the 1st round. Pretty happy, although I missed several makeable putts. No bogies the whole round though, which is a first for me.

If anyone's curious, my character currently has 59pts.

A 60pt character at -12, 59pt character at -9. Guess I should be pretty damn happy my little 34pt guy is swinging with the big dogs.

1 under with 19 SP including a 4 putt/3 putt on 1-2 to start the round (easy little putts as well as some missed gimme birdies later on).

Switching between tournaments witt Intermediate and Advanced guy seems to be throwing me off.

anyone try using different Character motions (under My Player)?

Very different visual cues especially for putting. Ben brings the putter back fast and long whereby if I use Sergio's motions they are shorter and a completely different experience (with advanced since the backstroke is the only cue).

Actually, there isn't THAT big of a difference. I've been shooting around -10 on average since around point 25-30 or so. The extra points will just save you a stroke here or there, you're not going to all of a sudden shoot -20 with a maxed out character, the strokes just aren't there for the taking, especially in difficult pin conditions and high winds.

I'd expect as much but in the heavy winds and bad weather the extra points will matter b/c of longer shots off the tee means shorter distances to the pin. A SW in 30 mph winds is much different from a chip. I think the biggest difference in every condition besides easy pin placement is in putting.

I'm still happy my guy is up there but the true test won't come until the condtions drop which I'm sure they will on some of the later rounds.

Re: Offical OS Links Tourney #3

I think my character is only about a 20, and I can do halfway decent. I need to add some power though, because that's pretty important. Hitting a 7 iron at the green is a lot different than hitting a 9, PW, or SW into the green.

Very good point. Those extra yards from the power points really help out when you are playing in 20-30mph windy conditions.

Re: Offical OS Links Tourney #3

also, adding a 1-iron has really helped me out alot, it basically serves as a "weak" 3-wood and is good at cutting through the wind too
