This game is a mess That is all I was tempted to play my rounds today because I'm stupid like that and didn't learn from last week and playing on a weekend bogged down server. Then I decided not to after a dozen of these in one round

Yuck. Tee shot on the 1st par 3, short and in the water. Double bogey. Battled back to -3 or -4 for round 1.

No disrespect raken... I understand the fairways are tight but most holes are short enough to take less club off the tee and hit fairways. I don't know what the setup is this week but by default it's soft. So most of the time if you hit the center of the fairway it'll stay there. I started to build this course in TGC1 lol so imagine finding the heavy rough in those games. In this games it's pretty easy to hit the green from the heavy rough inside 150 yards. Finished at -18 for the week. So so stuff. I don’t mean this disrespectfully but the course in my opinion was not very well thought out. No matter where you drive it the ball tends to veer towards the rough and there is no second cut and the rough is deep. No disrespect to the creator as they’ve obviously put a lot of time into making it but as an avid golfer in real life, it didn’t seem a very fair test. Then again I’m only a 10 handicap in real life so... nothing is ever too easy. Onto next week...

It’s a good looking course man and I can tell you put a lot of time into it I just found it a little bit unfair but as you say, that was likely just how it was set up. Either that or I just need to get better haha

Good deal... I'm going to probably play tonight. I'm confident it'll play perfectly fine. Just a different test for the CC guys which is good! I'm still thinking someone is going to tear it up if they play well! Fairways are Soft 3 days and Moderate 1 day

Thanks man.. I'm looking forward to see the hole stats afterwards. I have a feeling 5, 6 and 12 might cause the most trouble but we'll see! No disrespect raken...

Either that or I just need to get better haha I played 1 practice round and the 1st round of the tournament so far (masters) and #8 i find to be the hardest on the course...doubled the practice round and bogeyed it in the 1st round. incredibly difficult approach shot into that green. Shot -7 though which is ok...bogeyed 7 and 8 back to back after starting -4 through the first 6.

After missing short in the bunker in the practice round that is what i intended...carried just a tad far though and took a big hop and down into the deep stuff. That green is probably going to haunt me now the next 3 rounds lol

It looks like the first round's sucker pins and false fronts are resulting in the toughest holes. As it should be! I fired a -10 1st Rd with a bogey on 17! Dreaded pulled shot left me off the green and tried putting leaving it well short. Proceeded to miss a straight in putt on 18. Rd 2 was a different story.. I'll leave a little tease. -10 thru a 7 hole stretch!
