Replayed Florida glades. 72 even. Didn't improve but good round tho as I played the first 2 holes in +3 and the last two in +2 and still shot even. Min guy played is best round ever shooting 63 and beat max who had a 64. Played in Breezy Stimp 9 MS BLI NPS and Med pins. It's like having a new game with this rig as I played at Ultra at 5:00 Pm which has tons of shadows and is usually the hardest on your machine and played perfect. Lots of fun.

Crystal Pines: 69

 

Had a lucky crazy long double breaking putt. I really like this course!

[MetaWhirledPeas]

Willow Heath: 68

 

Another fun course. Lots of shortcuts if you're brave.

[MetaWhirledPeas]

Black Swan: 67

 

This required the most work of any of my scores. I basically had to pitch a tent at the course and play it over and over again until I finally ended up with a lucky round. Scored a 30 on the front nine.

Nice round MWP

 

I've had the same ordeal at Crystal Pines. Finally shot a 69. Unfortunately that's about where my tournament ends - at 15 under - because I would have to beat that score at CP to progress. Never mind.

So guys.....

 

I'll finish FPC#1 when the new update is released.

 

Thanks to all the participants for competing. It has been a very interesting tournament and it indicates that PG has got it just about Perfect as far as scoring at Pro level goes. The low round of 65 by kairoe shows that it can be done when the putter runs hot and your game is on song. I'm sure there are lower scores achievable but it ain't easy.

 

There was some very good scores posted and one day I would love to see an online match play tournament with you guys. Now that would be intense. It would also be interesting to see how much a tournament with tough wind, firmness and stimp affects the scoring overall. 

 

Anyway, I'm not sure if there will be an FPC#2. It all depends on new updates and whether there will be tournaments set up by PG in the near future. To be honest, this FPC format is probably the only way to get me to play hard, consistently and in a committed way - which is the only way I like it. It all remains to be seen.

 

Good luck over the next few days.

 

Thank you

Ted I have to believe that once they get the firmness fixed and rolled out if you have a stimp of 11 or 12 and firm greens you might see an even par score win an event. Those who have played 12 at normal know it's tough but with firm it could be like a real US Open where par is very good score. Add wind and some big numbers would be out there.

I guess that means if I want to enter, I better get my rounds in ASAP .... and slot in on the bottom of the leaderboard!

 

[EDIT:]

Ted (or anyone), if you are interested in "Pro" only rounds, there is a weekly tournament set up over at www.onlinegolftour.net that might suit your desires.  There is also a regular tournament at that site for players of using any aids.  You can also track your real game scores/stats at the site, although I've never looked too seriously into that option.

Mass - 3Click BLI

at least I am being consistent: another 73 (+3)

[Greensboronclion]

Replayed Crystal Pines.  35-34=69  Better by 3 strokes

38% fairways

56% Greens

1.44 putts

MS BLI NPS and Med Pins and Real TIme Weather which I used Aspen Colorado.  Really like the real time weather and it can make for some interesting conditions.  Started round last evening and it was clouds and sun and more of the same but less clouds today as wind only blowing about 4 or 5 mph.  Started Illinois at lunch today and used Chicago and sunny and a slight breeze but tonight when I start again it could change.  Hit the ball pretty good and not to far off the fairway when I missed and played my usual but took two Pro's and two Max guys with me and playing team comp with one of each on each team and playing match and stroke type Ryder cup type match.  Keep making it interesting and never gets boring either.

[Greensboronclion]

Replayed Illinois.  34-35=69  better by 1 but mad as I boggied last two holes and should have not done that.

fairways  50%

Greens   50%

putts       27  

Hit the ball well and good round and got to say since I got this new PC the game is coming to me now.  Swing meter is running real nice on the MS swing and was getting 30 FPS and have everything set to Ultra and never got more than 15 on Illinois before at Med settings.  When I am missing fairway it seems it is not as drastic and I can recover.  Next up will be Mass as I have a higher score there that I must beat.

MWP,

Great shootin' at HC - now the grind to lower the -2's and -3's.

Teddy might have to set a day and time to close the tourny.  Good luck mate (really)!

Replayed

South Hampton - calm, normal, 10 stimp.

(-4) 68 - birdies at 1 (4ft approach), 3 (6 ft), 4 (20ft putt), 11 (9 ft), 13 (?), and 18 (5 ft);  bogies at 5, and 14.

FIR=71     GIR=61     pph=1.33 (24 total)

Improved by 1 stroke. Doesn't change my score , but crosses off one of the -3's. On to BS and Mass.

[Ted_Ball]

Great golf guys.

 

I'm back in the saddle with internet on my PC. PG plays so much better online than offline and Black Swan is nice and smooth. I might just get my tournament score down yet.

 

I'll make the official FPC#1 closing time/date at midnight Thursday. I'll find out the UTC time soon. That should be before the update.

[MetaWhirledPeas]

Good luck mate (really)!

 

Same to you!
