    Divot Derby works for that Quest, but you have to win a round of it to complete 9 holes. If you don't win, you won't complete all 9 holes needed. I have completed the objective myself by winning a round of Divot Derby.
    Isn´t that the one where you must sprint? Will try that. Some mention you can do skins 3 times? Here different war stories about that quest. It says 3 9 hole rounds under -65.

        The only casual matchmaking I've ever played is Divot Derby, and I completed the Quest by winning rounds of it. I will say, there are plenty of issues with Quests, so who knows what's actually working or not.

          Has anyone been able to play St. Andrews in My Career? I'm starting my second season and it looks like The Open is still at Royal Portrush.

            You can use St Andrews in MyCareer, but you have to swap it into one of the fictional events. All real events will always be played at the same course, and majors do not rotate.

                Almost at 99 now but decided to go for power drive instead of recovery special skill so grinding a power myplayer currently. There is many shot types I don´t understand. That bump and run that is supposed to roll forever what is the point? there is also a pitch shot that is supposed to start low and run forever. Punch I see but I hardly ever find any trees to use it for. Recovery my recovery skill is already maxed out so that feels just stupid as it goes shorter and its not that really any more forgiving?

                Also lag putt? But I was in a multiplayer session and it seems like you can somehow disable the distance suggestions? But off line you cant you always get that help? texas wedge also seem broken because with that one you get no distance help like you do with every other shot in the game and you can still putt of green without it? in pure rough chip shot is always better anyway sinked so many chips.

                Also noticed doing a ranked tour with 4 days? You can change active golfer and when you load the event that golfer will get the xp whereas you get the skills of the first maxed out player. But on the next round you play as the myplayer you selected so I guess only works every other. Or you can just jump in and out after a hole or two?

                my 77 powerdrive golfer versus my 97 magician seem to be maybe around 5-6 strokes on portrush.

                  Grind is over! 122h you can count in with the gamepass if you have little skills to win online lol. Got my 99 magician. Also got some 85 on all but sculptor on my vc hunt. Don´t know if I want that knockdown skill?

                  Could actually afford play around some. Got some cobra driver I probaby should level up for upcoming seasons as it´s limited edition. I need to waste 2 evo tools on it though . All my clubs and ball is sapphire now but I am sure they will make sure next season requires a hundred new evo tools to grind.

                  Also respecced twice. Tried to figure out the rhytm thing but everything just got way more unforgiving and difficult with higher rhytm. Transition seem way more important. Overswinging is seldom the end of the world either though but I guess it´s where transition really helps to minimize that issue. The important thing seem to be just keep the rhytm skill low and not increase it!

                  If you are going as slow as you can in backswing it´s really hard to mess up the rhytm for the downswing as its just supposed to be 3/4 faster? So the slower the backswing the easier the timing.

                  I really dislike the evo swing. But it´s forced on you for anything but the pro am ranked tours it seems... Guess you can do 3-click. I really should because my shoulder got really really bad by now But I guess three click is often not allowed either when it says swing stick?

                        Not much in rewards for the new challenges?

                        I tried the sculptor and I like it. You can have high swing path and high correction. sure the shot shaping skills I struggle to find use for but it´s kind of nice not being forced to hit a draw or fade also. The tracers looks much better. High correction is an absolute must I find to make evo somewhat tolerable. Wonder how people twistbreak their wrists to operate that.

                        I redone my magician all in on correction. The swing path is still better then when investing in swing path lol

                          Yeah, the rewards from the Chris McDonald Map are pretty bad...I already have the hats they are giving out, I think? That's too bad...could have been a cool way to introduce some new Happy Gilmore-themed rewards or something.

                            I just watched 2/3rds of happy gilmore 2. Not much better then the first probably worse. Is all the pros in it or is it just ai like everything nowadays. Not that they have any impossible lines to deliver. John daly should replace Adam sandler

                              I invest so poorly... Increasing power is a death sentence. It seems like you go minus on contact shape etc because my evo swing misses is way larger with higher power but all other settings the same? I understand that the spread is more the longer you hit but I shouldn´t get bigger misses in the circle as before? 2 % deviation is like 4 % everytime I really start to invest in power. its harder to hit short irons with high power then long irons with low power because the precision is way less on evo swing. When not using evo power don´t really matter much then its very beneficial of course.

                              Gonna go back to technician. It has higher on push pull forgiveness but way lower on power but it seem to be the only way if you cant get comfortable with evo.

                                is the mission with the bonuses for a bag full of only amethyst gear active? It says august 6 but I cant see it in the quest tab? I only have the putter left but would not spend 3 on it otherwise.

                                divot derby is really weird. you are always top three. I never win though always second or third but that is not that strange the strange thing is how its impossible to get outside of top three no matter if you hit water or whatever lol
