Tough course but I am enjoying it. My first round wasn't anything to write home about, -2 I believe. My second round I seemed to get a better feel for the course and did a -9.
Be careful all with that wind. First round it was often at least half-filled on the meter. That combined with the difficulty of the course made for some tricky shots. Definitely have to be somewhat close to the hole with your shots if you want a snowball's chance to get it in on those greens, lol.

Wow, hiit the water and had to place ball about 200 yards back in the rocks on the last hole in round 4 and suffered an 8 to finish -19. The drop system in the game really needs a overhaul, a lot of times your better of rehitting. Totally agree. Can't even begin to count how many approach shots I've put into water that have a resultant drop in heavy rough across the water from the green. Relief could also use some work. Putting it in a bush has a 50/50 chance of you getting relief to the side of the bush or having to literally hit it out of the bush, lol.

Holy, freakin', crap! That was a brutal challenge for me. I'm not complaining, it was a grind and I thought it was fun, but I really struggled to get anything going, especially in round 1. It's definitely true, you need to be ready to deal with decent wind and some tough pins for the first two rounds. I actually didn't play round 3 and 4 yet because I wasn't able to stream this event like normal (something wrong with internet), and because I needed a mental break. -4, -8 for -12 at the cut. I think that's going to be close, but probably in the range of being incredibly nervous all day on Thursday. Hopefully I get to play R3 and R4, because I really DO like this course pablo.

-6 -6 for -12. Will be sweating the cut line I think.
I'm going to have a small grumble this week.
I think the scheduler has done a fantastic job so far this season. We've played some great tracks, including this one, I'm a fan of pablo's work and this is one of his best.
However, this week I felt that the set up and wind strength and direction did not suit the course. It felt, for want of a better phrase, 'tricked up'. Good shots were rewarded and bad ones punished as they should be, but it felt that the conditions also punished just about everything that wasn't near perfect.
All just my opinion of course.

All opinions welcome and helpful, this week was planned to be tougher than usual and there are more tough weeks to come but they will be mixed in with easier weeks, variety the key and some weeks I will be putting a challenge in front of ye. Some people prefer tougher courses, others easier, and I hope I can find the fine balance between the two so every one gets to play what they enjoy at least once over a four week period, the downside to this is there will be times a course does not suit a individual, it simply can’t be avoided.

Gutted that I don’t get to play R3 and R4 this week. I did not find this as easy as many of you apparently did.

Great course pablo! Also thought the conditions were really good for us Webbers! I am hoping that I'm starting to find a groove with my swing and it's tendencies as my last few social rounds for the last week haven't been to bad, my putting is really improving which I'm really happy about, posted -45 so we'll see how that goes. -14 behind Crawesy who's played it for fun and shot lights out as usual but I'm 8 clear of 3rd on the PS4 leaderboard. I'll be stoked with another top 10 as I haven't had one since week 1 of this season and struggled a bit since.

I've been hanging on for dear life avoiding my 5th demotion mark the last couple weeks, but I think it is finally here. I only made 1 cut this season so I'm kind of happy to get demoted where I can play with people more my skill level. But on the other hand, it will be damn near impossible to make it back to the Pro Tours. Good luck all!

Always sad to see a webber leave, but we will keep your locker in the club house assigned to you for when you are ready to return. Good luck in the challenge circuit.
