Please REMOVE Crooked Numbers
It’s got to go, it’s just not fun. 15mph, then a rainbow putt line from 4 feet away, terrible courses, terrible greens. It’s like I can only play 3 days a week online if I’m lucky with these not fun ...

Odd because I see an account with your exact name on XBL and you’re not on any leaderboard.
500-5 on Pro? There must be an exponential amount of low level players on PS still then. I wouldn’t mind seeing a screen though because that’s the best record in the world across any platform! I was just looking at the records on XBL and after doing the math, nobody comes close to 500-5 (pro-rated) on Pro setting.
I hit birds and eagles at such a high frequency because I’m a good player that’s paid my dues. It takes skill, it’s not easy. I played 4 career modes with 4 rounds per major (which I never did on any Tiger ever, maybe 1 run through until my stats got maxed then it was online), countless privates and lot of online.
It’s not easy, it’s work and you just can’t spin the ball 5ft to every hole lol, you have to have a deep understanding of how the clubs work, tempo, and how every green hits.
And putting is far from a non-factor, that’s such a non-statement. Even some of these 5-10 foot rainbows on Evian, Torrey, etc are really hard. Right before this post, I literally just beat the #13 (12k wins) and #16 (8k wins) global on XBL, I only got like 500 wins because I just started online this season. I’m no slouch and I’m telling you, it’s not easy.
Let’s pretend you’re really 500-5 and whatever on Pro, you’ve just admitted to being the #1 pro-rated Pro player across all platforms so essentially, your opinion on what’s easy or not is ultimately null in void. What’s easy for you, isn’t easy for 90%+ of global players. You don’t speak for the people, you’re the most rare and endangered species alive. What you like doesn’t translate to the general player base. Going back to your original posts here in this thread, this absolute truth holds a lot of weight.
I can vouch for @packattack04082 , he's ranked 3rd for tournaments right now and was ranked 1st for a long time. For weekly at Whistling Straits, the top guys on PS5 are scoring very low, leader is -27 at Arcade, -25 Pro, -21 Tour and Pack is leading at -21 Sim.
@Katybee_1313Still 1st in tournaments right now actually 😉 EDIT - I presume you meant for this season, which I am 3rd. I've skipped a few events I didn't really feel like playing.
- @packattack04082 99% win rate, I find that VERY hard to believe
- @-Roasted513- What is hard to believe about a 99% win rate? You only need top 5% in dailies, and top 15% in weekly Pro and 20% in weekly arcade. It's not like I finish in 1st place even 10% of the time on most tournaments. Top 5% is pretty lenient to get winner and only sim tournaments really present a challenge in getting top 5% because they typically have way less entries so there is less room for error. PS5 tournaments are also way more populated than PC or Xbox based on everything I've heard.
If you have doubts, here is a video of my weekly Sim round of -21 from this week at Whistling Straits.

Back on topic, I like high winds. On pro especially, it's necessary to create separation between weak and strong players. Maybe if they disabled the putt line (like in the challenges) it would be fine to play lower wind pro. But as it is, players can hit poor approach shots and still be gifted a birdie by the putt line. At least with high winds they're more likely to actually drop strokes.
Agree with the courses though. Evian, Torrey and Wolf Creek seem to get a disproportionate amount of playtime. Wouldn't mind seeing the course playlist refreshed. And wouldn't mind also seeing them not using the same "random" tournaments every few weeks...
