Couldn't get going on Empress Hills at all. It seemed like every bounce took my ball into the rough or a bunker. Even when I landed on the green, it couldn't wait to roll off. First time I've played this course, and I'm sure a little knowledge would have been very beneficial. It certainly made me look very amateurish.

Yeah this is definitely one of his tougher courses Phil, as you can tell from the scores being posted. I've played it a couple of times before and it's not my favourite course of his.

Well, Vienna was interesting, to say the least. Never quite had a round like it. Shot -8 despite a 7 on the par-3 11th (two in the water — not a fan), and then a double. Crazy.

Guys - hope you are enjoying the ArcticFury Extravaganza. I love his courses because they're never boring, beautiful and realistic to play, always with lots of risk/reward shots on offer. To me he is the master of the short par 4. But beware - some of his courses can also bite you on the backside big time!
We only have a few of his courses to go so I'm casting my mind to the next week or so. I think we're gonna go with some of my favourite RCR's, but with a fun round in the middle. The fun round won't count in the scoring but it will carry a bonus of 25k.
Stick with me folks - I think it will be fun.

Just a heads-up fellas. There's rumours that the wind is whistling at Whistling Straits. Gusting up to 22mph I heard.

Loads of issues playing this course Peter. 1st two holes, no matter whether it was a drive, an iron shot from the fairway, a flop or a chip shot, I received a huge hook sending my ball way left even though I was receiving a perfect/perfect swing. I also noticed that during the entire round, I never appeared on the leader board, so I don't even know whether my round has registered. There was obviously nothing wrong with the course, I was just suffering those dreaded server issues, a few of which I had in round 2, but nothing like during this round. Anyway, I finished my round with a 66 (-6) just in case nothing shows up.

Good news is you're showing on the leaderboard with your correct score.

Way to go Steve, Phil and Colin. Played a couple of the Artic events. Between working from home, physical therapy on my leg, etc. just have not been around much. Can really only play on the weekend right now.

Can really only play on the weekend right now. Nice to hear from you Michael and we all hope you are recovering well from your nasty accident. Hope you can play in the "fun" event following Valhalla. This course has been around a while now but if you haven't come across it before it's quite a surprise! Anyhow - get well soon.
