+6 on day 2 for st.cronin.

9 through 14 just killed me today - +7 on those 6 holes. Take out that sequence and I was 1 under par.

The good news is my injury is done I think tomorrow, so hopefully I can get some decent practice in this week in preparation for the South African event.

[FrogMan]

I finally played a round better than +6, woot!!! +3 is nothing to write home about, but it's still improvement. +9 on the tourney is a no go for the cut though...

New feature, you can can play your practice rounds out and find out what works. It's under "My Tactic".

1st practice round at the Chatanooga Classic, +14. This could be a rough tourney for me, as usual. What's driving me crazy though is all my bogies are because I'm missing putts. But yet my putting is at level 15(ET).

[fjvieane]

Hmm I don't see this option. Maybe because it's my first tournament.

[fjvieane]

Ok I can't edit my post for some odd reason.

I found it, Thanks for the info Vex.

[fjvieane]

Hehe ok I did my practice with adjustments and I can still only eek out a +17. I don't see myself making the cut without lots of luck, lol.

Care to shed some light? Cause I couldn't find it either...

I think the key is you have to adjust your travel class in "My Travel" after you click "My Development". The default is 1 Star which gives you 0 practice rounds.

This is my 1st tourny so I don't know if it's worth it to have a practice round...

[Chubby]

of course, nothing I do there makes it so i can have a practice round either...

[fjvieane]

when you go to MY Tactics and if you have practice rounds available (by which travel you choose)

You need to click on each hole: (for example below-where it shows practice, you click on that and then you get practice results) Hope this helps:


Hole 1 Par: 4 Yards: 427
This hole has a Narrow fairway with Bunkers on the left and Short Rough on the right.The pin is cut in a Very Easy position for this tournament and the green is guarded with Rough on the front, Water on the back, Water on the left and Short Fringe on the right. You are able to practice this hole.Tee Shot: 3 Wood - Middle of Fairway
Approach: Middle of Green

Same problem here. I think the problem is that we're too close to tee-time to add nights...

[fjvieane]

I think practice rounds may be beneficial only because you can adjust before the tourney starts. But then again what do I know? This is my first tourney as well. hehe

[WVUFAN]

My first tourney as well. We all have to start sometime. :-)

[kingfc22]

Just noticed this practice round ability. That is sweet!!!

[kingfc22]

+11 for my practice Rd.

[Chubby]

a double on 1 (into the water), followed by 2 straight pars...

I think I was agressive on 4 so we'll see how I do there.

[Coffee Warlord]

A bogey on 1, to continue my streak of utter suckage.

[st.cronin]

Is anybody else playing in South Africa? I shot +5 for round 1

[wade moore]

I didn't modify my tactics at all because I just didn't have time..

Here is my first ever easy par hole:

Shot 1: Tee Shot - Miss Fairway Left To Pin: 158 Yards - In the Bunker
Shot 2: Approach - Missed Green Right To Pin: 21 Yards - In the Short Fringe
Shot 3: Chip Shot - On the green To Pin: 16Feet - On the Green
Shot 4: Putt - Missed Putt To Pin: 4Feet - On the Green
Shot 5: Putt - Holed Putt To Pin: In the Hole

and I'm +1 after 1...

[Chubby]

Another par on 4, so I'm still +2

The good news is I have two straight 1 putt holes as well...

Playing in the Chattanooga Classic. I was in the first group away and shot a respectable +2 for 18. Hope to make my first cut in a cash tournament and start to offset the costs of the golf pro.

[Chubby]

all the cool kids play in Chattanooga

[Chubby]

I actually hit a fairway on 5 WOOT! Another 1 putt par for me!

[JHandley]

Gotta do a bit of bragging here myself.

Shot 2: Approach - Hit the Green To Pin: 45Feet - On the Green
Shot 3: Putt - Holed Putt To Pin: In the Hole

Drained a 45 foot putt to start off the round.

Wow, nice.

What is your putting skill at?

[vtbub]

+3 and above the projected cut line.

another par on 6

So far "lay up" on the hard par 5s is working well (pars)

[wade moore]

[hoosierdude]

I went +2 for the first day, so that isn't bad for not knowing what the heck I am doing.

[wade moore]

btw - how do you determine the cut line?

[AnalBumCover]

My first birdie!!!

Round:1 Hole: 3 Par: 3
Shot 1: Approach - Missed Green Front To Pin: 11Yards - In the Long Fringe

[FrogMan]

doh! bub, beat me to it

[Chubby]

45 footer to get me my 1st birdie ever as we make the turn in Chattanooga

+1 after 9

Round:1 Hole: 9 Par: 4
Shot 1: Tee Shot - Miss Fairway Left To Pin: 172Yards - In the Short Rough
Shot 2: Approach - Hit the Green To Pin: 45Feet - On the Green
Shot 3: Putt - Holed Putt To Pin: In the Hole

[Radii]

+2 through 15 holes in my first round ever(Chattanooga). I waited a couple of weeks longer than most did to try my first tourney, I don't know if that makes a difference or if I'm just super lucky so far(and now that I've posted I'll probably bomb the last few holes).

[FrogMan]

I just manually set my tactics for each one of the 18 holes which will probably ensure that I'll shoot a +9 instead of my usually bad +6 rounds

I do tee off only at 20:38 or 2:38pm eastern so still a long way to go before I learn if I indeed screwed it up badly

[SirFozzie]

about ready to tee off. (David Clark)

That was actually +2 through 14, with bogeys on 15 and 16 I'm now at +4...

[Chubby]

2 bogeys out of 3 holes on the back 9 so far and I'm +3

For some humor, check out the leaderboard for the French Classic. Someone didn't get the memo that this is the A ball of the golf circuits.
