After my first ever top 10 finish last week I was pumped this morning and immediately proceeded to tear this course a new one, going full Chad Thundercock mode in the first round with a -13. Long putt % of 75% as well, probably the best I've ever played in this game and I'd be impressed if anybody does better in R1. Unfortunately, I transformed into Timothy Floppywinkle for the subsequent 3 rounds, with -5, -4 and -5 to finish on an abysmal -27. Putting was awful, tempo was awful, just generally useless in every category. Didn't even feel angry, just extremely disappointed. To illustrate in visual format, I went from this in R1: to this in R2-4: Good luck to all, there's a ton of tricky spots on this course, lots of big greens so each round is very different depending on pin locations. I predict -48 to be the ceiling this week, this is a much better test for the top players than we've had recently.

Top marks for the designer of this course, really do know how to make a course as unenjoyable as possible. How an earth a course with greens like that was ever even considered for a cc event is beyond me.
Oh did someone say tempo? What a crock of sh%$. Fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast. Ok I’ll see if I can slow it down a bit. Very slow. Fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast fast.
Great game.

First time I ever agree with anything u have posted Dave. Tempo was sh%$ n the worst course they have ever picked. Very unenjoyable this week.

Worst thing hb ever did was give ppl the option to change green settings as beads and lines dont change accurately. greens are inconsistent and lie 80% of the time. More look than judgement. Id class myself a very good putter but if you take a badly sculpted green and alter the already bad lines it becomes partly hit and hope. Its a shame because like last week i played the course in default and the course plays how it should do. I like ladue and the challenges it poses but as soon as you change the speed from what it was designed for and it becomes mickey mouse.same as bora bora last week. But when you have straightish putts break against physics its a joke. Good luck all and close you eyes when putting and youll probably can more. The courses arent bad its the settings that are being chosen that are bad. When will people realise that changing the sets on the greens destroys the way a course plays after someone has spent months designing them to get abused cos it plays like a bag of wank the better. I get the weather changes and wind thats cool. Rant over!

People actually spend time playing, discussing and choosing the courses we play, and this is the result. Baffling
Seriously, pick 10 at random, throw them in a hat and pick one. You'll more than likely end up with something better and save yourself a hell of a lot of time into the bargain
In other news, i am pulling everything (not in a good way) and i can't putt. -30. Driver very nearly came out on the green for the first time ever

This is great, not one but two threads of turmoil and frustration! Can jump back and forth with little delay in the action.

Nothing wrong with Chris' course for us hackers.................. (that a few pounds of C4 wouldn't fix)
Just the winds

Just the winds I do wonder why the itchy trigger finger on very high winds. Failing to check for whether par4s are reachable is an oversight on rangers. Either choose a closer tee, a direction that allows reachability, or don’t choose that velocity.

I like the course, but probably biased after playing a very solid 2nd round. Nice (I think) Redan style course?! Started out -8 in the first round. Played the par 3 second hole like an idiot, otherwise nothing spectacular in that round.
Second round I was more dialed in and I was making putts for once. Sat -12 through 13 holes. Then cooled off a bit, but still quite happy with a -14 for the 2nd round.
Sitting -22 through two rounds and taking a break. Might be for an hour,might be for days. Who knows?!
