First Game of the Day 'FGOD'

  I've noticed that the game plays really difficult when using the CC pass for the 'FGOD' starting currently at 4PM PST or (12AM-next day UTC).

  I can play PB before or after using this pass and shoot close to 30 (+/- 1) -  no problem.

  But the FGOD (using the pass now), well the game seems to have Gremlins in it, or a Jedi Knight, trying to get me to quit; subsequently losing the CC points.  But I grind it out to get the points anyway; taking the Par score or worse and move on.

  Anybody else out there ever experience this?

  Definitely do a lot of the time. Think it  could possibly be overload as so many are doing it at once right after the clock starts. I seem to have much better results when I am unable to play it right away and I do it the next morning. Of course that means not playing at all the whole night if you want to keep your cdp points intact. If it's being really unkind to me, lol, once in a while I will just end the game, give up the free pass, and if I want to keep playing I will just buy another pass and try a different course. Ending the game keeps your cdp intact, you will still have the red check til you complete one.

  Why not shorten the troubles, playing one hole instead of nine?

  I get about 920 XPs for a single practice hole, taking Bandon for the least ball usage.

  Your CC is L15(?) and doesn't need the XPs urgently from an objective POV. You should get 240 more for 9 holes or 440 if you play a tournament - your decision if this extra is worth the pain.

  Remember: They invented the passes and the levels to make us grind on behalf of our CCs - but what is it good for?

  No benefits from L17 on...
