Re: Xbox 360 OS Bushwood CC (TW14)

Just post my best round yet and first round under par in today's daily (well technically yesterday's now). -4, good enough for a top 5 finish. If it wasn't for a bogey on 10 and a double bogey on 11, I could have won. Just had a good night, my thumb was hitting the right marks, hope it continues.

Daily At East Lake: Two quads, two doubles, two bogeys, 12 pars. Dammit.

But followed it up with a practice round at Louisana. Broke 80 for he first time, and scored -1 on the back!

"EA Sports. If it's in the game..."

LOL

Technically EA hasn't used that in quite a long time ... Its only "It's in the the game" now.

Leveled up to 85 last night, added the attribute points, and my accuracy went down the toilet. Did notice I had extra stiff shafts on all clubs so I moved all clubs back to regular stiffness to see if that helps me out. I couldn't hit a fairway after leveling up.

I switched my golfer from a Control golfer to a power golfer yesterday to see if i liked being able to reach the Par 5's in 2 and hitting less than hybrids into some of the long par 4's. Well, after a night of really poor golf, i have decided that i will probably need to go back to control

I too have reached level 85 (actually 86) and upgraded all of my clubs to the new Nike Covert and VRS line, as well as the Nike Distance ball.

I figured since i was a power player, i probably needed to upgrade shafts to extra stiff, but i don't think i'm quite ready for that yet, so i switched back to Stiff Shafts.

I'm giong to give it one more practice round today with the power player and then go back to control if i don't put in a good score.

Speaking of Stiff Shafts, does anyone know what power threshold you need to reach before you move from Regular to Stiff to Extra Stiff?

I'm a power golfer and been having excellent accuracy. Just for some reason after hitting lvl85 a good swing was producing terrible shots. Going to do a few practice rounds tonight to see what I can work out. The change made my recent Web.com event a horror show.

Posted my first under par round in this Country Club with a -2 and was in 5th place when I finished, so very pleased with it. I am about level 65 I don't remember exactly but somewhere around there.

Excited about Masters week next week, I have a feeling that Augusta National won't be as forgiving as these last two daily course setups.

Also I don't know if this has been brought up or not but we should have a point system for the four round events kind of like the Fed-Ex Cup just so the four round event can stand on it's own.

Hopefully with the server update, results and stats become easier to view. Hate how I can't see my round and event stats anywhere. Or if those can be found, I haven't found them yet.

The stiffer the shaft you use, the faster your downswing has to be furthering your chances for a mis-hit.

I maintain that to live up to that motto, club-throwing needs to be in the game.

Does this help?

Man, I was playing raggedity this morning, sheesh. The daily was a nightmare, I was hitting trees and rough so often...

Then I played a round in my career on the web.com tour at Kiawah, and it was really windy and FAST course which screwed me all up. Posted over a +10 and finished at the bottom.

Some days are just not good golf days.

I like this. I like that I can go under par one day and the next things just don't go my way.

I was striping every fairway the other night, then I played my 2nd round of the 4 round and I was mis hitting it everywhere. It comes and goes. The funny thing is that a lot of it is mental, just like on the real course.

I was slicing my ball over the creation last night. Couldn't hit that damn thing straight for the life of me. Went back to the practice facility to work on my short game and relaxed and started hitting it well.

Re: Xbox 360 OS Bushwood CC (TW14)

I wanted to throw my putter last night. Had a -3 turn into a +2 in the last three holes. Has anyone boosted their putting stats as high as current experience allows? If so did it help?
