Re: TGC Tours (www.tgctours.com)

I like it to. Ended up in Champs A (about what I expected) and noticed that there are 7 strokes difference between the average rounds for the top player and the bottom one. Should make things a little tighter and more exciting.

I'm the bottom one. No idea how I ended up in A, assumed I'd be in B where I might actually have a chance to win once in a while. Oh well.

Web B for me. Very interested to see how things work out. I was getting tired of all the new Q-school players being placed in the Web each week on their way to the PGA or Euro tours. Growing pains, I guess for tgctours.

I obviously haven't seen you play (that I can remember) but I bet you'll be more competitive than you think. Remember that all the guys who were winning are probably moved up to Web now. I'm still not betting that I'll win an event anytime soon but I think I can at least be closer than I was before. Even if I'm wrong, at least we're in with the best of the worst

Champions A for me as well. Was on the Web tour for one tourney before they flighted everyone. Made the cut, but was still 40 strokes behind the winner, haha. Looking forward to this first tourney at Bushtail Valley - played a couple practice rounds last night and posted some good scores. Hopefully with the new flights we won't see winners shooting four rounds of 60 each week.

Interesting...I thought they said that you wouldn't be demoted from Web if you had made a cut. Regardless, I think it's going to be much more competitive now. You're also the first person I've heard say that they shot well at Bushtail. I think it's going to be a tough course next week.

Re: TGC Tours (www.tgctours.com)

Yeah I thought I read that too. Figured it happened because I had just finished Q-School and only played one tourney. Lots of people didn't actually submit scores so I probably got lucky to have made the cut in the first place, ha. That tourney was at Links at Liberty Sound and the wind was like 15mph+ for each round. Pin placements on that course are really dumb as well. Bushtail plays much more fair, but the elevation changes going into some of the greens definitely make you think.

Apparently so. I currently top the leaderboard! I know I won't end up winning as my 3rd round was not good and I already saw someone post that they ended up with a better score than what I finished up with. But I guess I belong in A after all. The tgctours people know me better than I know myself.

Wouldn't have minded spending a week in B though and strolling to a win. I'd have a 14-shot lead at the moment down there.

Nicely done! This course is has been giving me fits in my practice rounds so I've avoided my first tournament round for a while. Shot a respectable +7 last night at Q-School's Mount Yeti so I think I'm ready to try to finally tackle Bushtail. If my practice rounds are any indication, you'll have no threat from me at all!

Also, did you see the new promotion email? Sounds like it's going to be even tougher to get all the way up to PGA/Euro. I completely get why they did it but it's going to take me even longer to get through now...

Re: TGC Tours (www.tgctours.com)

I'm on Web-B, which seems about right for my skill set. I'm playing in my second tourny this week at Tobacco Dunes, shot a respectable 63 & 67 my first two rounds, placing me in 25th position. My putting went to crap in my second round, I missed at least 4 birdie putts that I usually make.

This is a great setup, TGC is doing excellent work to create a career based system that the game lacks, and their setup of multiple tours based on skill level is nicely done. I am -12 after two rounds and the leader is -21, so realistically I probably won't ever contend to win a tournament, finishing top 10-20 would be a realistic goal.

Re: TGC Tours (www.tgctours.com)

I haven't picked up TGC yet as without a season/career mode, it didn't interest me but someone said I should check out TGCtours if that's what I'm into, so I did.

The Arnold Palmer Invitational leaderboard is on the main page. The leader/winner is at -71 I assume over 4 rounds (217 strokes). If this occurred in Tiger, there would be an uproar but is this how it is in TGC? Unrealistic scoring to tournaments?

I know there are also people that struggle and I've read this thread with people shooting well, well above par but is just a tad unrealistic isn't it (lol) to have guys at -71 and -66 for a tournament. Kind of dampened my interest in this.

Yes I can relate to what your saying, any golf game that has scores like that, kinda bums me out a bit.
For the most part it is a good game tho.

It's inevitable with any golf game. When I started out, I struggled to break par for 18, but now I'm routinely shooting -10 or better (after only about 2 weeks and 25 rounds or so). It's just too easy to adjust your distances based on percentages, get perfect contact every swing, and figure out the breaks on the green after playing for a bit.

It is tougher than Tiger though, because there is less detailed information to go off of.
