PGA 2K23

I'm not too surprised being shortest off the tee, I pulled the 3 wood out a lot for safety (and once by mistake). I value the approach angle and distance a lot to help gain strokes. Just ended up leaving a lot of putts low of the hole.

I'll throw in the Irish Open for an event suggestion. Royal County Down golf course for September 12-15th.

I’m happy with that.

Also happy with the longer events for Majors.

I'm convinced this game knows when you need a score and plays mind games with you. Needed an eagle to pip Corcaigh on the 18th and ended up this close on approach. Birdied from there to draw level for the two rounds.

That was a tough chase Corcaigh! The scoring was relentless and just slowed up for me on the last 5 or 6 holes with mostly pars.

Yes that course screwed us over with pin position so outside of majors I go with pin position 1 and that's what most course reviewers use on YouTube so it's a safe bet Pin 1.

I can change this if you want to risk it for a biscuit. I also go for the two longest tees in standard events

Going along nicely and quadruple boogie in the first round recover nicely and another quadruple boogie on a different hole of the second round after which I lost the will to live 😢

I think you can usually choose any pin position and it’ll be fine.

I think that particular course was made as a bit of a jokey course so we just got unlucky.

I think including more 3 and 4 pin positions could be a good challenge.

So in the old days we call hitting a perfect shot (timing) hitting it ‘on the money’.

Obviously if you hit too early or late you cut or sliced it.

With the ‘right stick’ system you only have to hit it ‘on the money’ once. You pull down to get your distance and then push it up to hit it ‘on the money’ which is always ‘12 o’clock’ on the swingometer.

So when using the 3 clock system do you guys have to hit it on the money 3 times ?

Fun Friday rounds at the Homestead, playing pretty easy. I feel like you have to go for the play over the trees on the 18th, loft it up and send it.

Corcaigh with the 250+ yard eagle, unreal!

I'm 4 events now bogey free, which is due to end now that I've said it.

Incredible. I had a 2 shot lead teeing off on the 17th and also managed a bogey there.

Then had a 12-15 foot putt to win it, with a par, on the last.

Also agree with you that those courses (with undulating fairways) make for a more interesting course. You have to focus on every shot.

Great course choices from @Romero

Fantasy Course Fallen Kingdom next up for a change

Nearly caught corcaigh messed up on the final hole should have gone out left instead went straight at it and ended up getting a par instead of a birdie. Still an improvement for me 😎

Next major set up for next weekend The PGA Championship at Valhalla. 4 rounds over 3 days. Don't know if this is a good representation of the course but it's the most played in the game and the greens are pretty tough on the test round I played.l, so hoping you all enjoy it.

It seems to be only 2 rounds unless I’ve misunderstood ?

Maybe I’ve made a mistake Romero. I thought I tried to play round 3 but it didn’t seem to take me there.

I’ll have to look at it again. Probably my mistake.

There's plenty of scores on offer at Navapii. Tied with Corcaigh after round 1 at -14 and I burned the edge a few times.
