 Not seeing other PS4 players mention this, so maybe it was just me? I found quite a few holes in rd 1, especially on the front 9 from what I recall, were playing really choppy. I got a few unwanted 95%s and a bizarre 80% flop! Definitely made shooting over water a little extra scary lol. Didn’t have any major screwups because of it, but just wanted to mention it as I’m curious if others experience it. |

Didn’t have any major screwups because of it, but just wanted to mention it as I’m curious if others experience it. I've been noticing a lot of variation recently. How the wind takes effect, the degree of turn on putts, (try to judge this on straighter putts,) and especially how much impact on direction my fast has (from very mild to almost a duck hook!) Obviously these things can be affected by judgement, but I've been keeping an eye on it and seems to be changing by day, or maybe by course, or could just be my imagination! Who knows... Haven't played any rounds here yet, will add my feedback if I notice anything. |

Could be a framerate problem with the course.

I also have problems with not knowing how much a fast is going to hook, I’ve just chalked that up though to maybe there being different degrees of fast. Like some fasts might be on the brink of very fast, whereas others might be just barely fast and closer to perfect. So some fasts would draw more than others cause of that...I don’t know lol. I can’t say I really pay much attention to where I’m at on the swing meter, I just look at whether it says perfect, fast, slow, etc. For me this course though had the jittery movement thing going on...where it can make your backswing appear laggy. I’ve had this happen sometimes, but usually not for more than a hole or two. Even then it sometimes is gone in subsequent rounds, so who knows. Maybe it will be better next round. |

This course is very heavy planted - so what you are experiencing booze - is problems with heavy planting, also in combination with shadows that cause lag. It has been most noticed on XBox - and for PC it is depended on how good the PC is, and graphic settings.
(So when you have experienced this on a hole or two, it is very heavy planting at those holes).
The designer of Austin CC was made aware of this problem on the beta - and I am not sure how much was changed from the beta to the final version. Also - lidar data increases the planting and problems with lag, so even more important imo to be modest in the planting and not overdo it.

"Varying degrees of fast" is exactly how I see it too. (Or most likely explanation, anyway.) But as it's never been defined or confirmed, I doubted myself! But the fast always, seemingly, adds the same distance irrespective of the "degree" of hook, as best as I can tell, so that confuses things more. Could be wrong on that as well though! Sometimes I feel completely locked in with fasts, distance and degree of hook, putting angles (slightly less on right to left breaks,) wind, etc etc. Other times not. I'd love to know if it's my "form," or the servers, or laggy courses, or whatever else... |

Probably a stupid question, but when you say heavy planting, do you mean literally plants as in a lot of trees and bushes? Or is it meaning that along with stuff like rocks or even water? I’m completely unfamiliar with the design part of this game. It would definitely make sense though that if there’s just too much going on with one hole, that it could become laggy. |

Trees and bushes cause more lag than rocks - but all planting contributes - even houses etc. (trees and bushes has moving parts). |

I'd love to know if it's my "form," or the servers, or laggy courses, or whatever else... I can confirm that the amount of fade or draw vary in how much fast or slow tempo you have. So long as you have perfect inside the blue cone, all is good. Once you miss, you get a pretty drastic effect (I don't like this design in the game, and have said so to HB devs on several occasions - I want that variation from the complete perfect spot), but the more you miss on tempo the more you draw or fade - until you get the very fast and slow, but even then you get more or less depending on how far off you are on the tempo. The distance added for a fast or slow is indeed the same no matter how much you hook or slice the ball (which again is unrealistic - the more you hook or slice the ball, the more distance you will loose in real life). |

 R1 started horrendously +6 thru hole 2. Got confused off the tee on hole 2 went in the water, teed it up again and somehow ended up in the woods. I thought I had a window to get out but was wrong and took a 9. Somehow I managed a -2 at the end.  R2 the hot putter went stone cold. Even at the end.  R3. Just a solid clean round. -7  R4 once again putter went cold. +2 Ended up at -7. Really up and down tourney, lots of highs and lows. Took me 2 rounds to get the layout down. Good challenge. |

Forgot to take screen shot of round 1. Shot -3, I believe. The rest are below. I'm going to excuse myself from the matchplay events after this week.

LKeet6 could you play your 1st round with GreyOsprey's ghost to get his scorecard?

LKeet6 could you play your 1st round with GreyOsprey's ghost to get his scorecard? Of course. Only issue being that I will probably be playing my first round on Thursday, and will need reminding! So many people here get their rounds done in the first couple of days! I like to save mine! My usual timing strategy is play one or two of my other societies on a Monday and Tuesday, my first euro rounds on Wednesday (when the 2nd round leaderboard is up, so I know rough cut number,) and then first USE round(s) on Thursdays. |
