Welcome to week 38!
I've heard there are high winds on rounds 2 and 3 this week. If Carlsberg had sponsored this tournament, they'd have given us the Playboy mansion for a week! As it is, there are beer tents on every tee supplying Nevadaballin Home Brew. Enjoy and as always play (poor) golf!

I haven't seen the course yet. What type course is it? Tight fairways? Sloping greens?

Fairways aren't tight at first glance but there's some heavy slope in some of them that can take you directly into the heavy rough (I didn't see much/any light rough). There's a lot of well-placed trees on some of the holes. Nice mix of holes for all pars -- #6 plays basically as a par 5, 503 uphill into the wind (At least for the first two rounds). I love the par threes - a couple with severe dropoffs over water, and two very short (under 100) with tiny targets. Greens aren't too bad, it's getting there that will be the issue.
Shot -9 in my first round, slogging through the second now...

I have to say this is one of the coolest and most visually appealing courses I've played on this game. Great job to the designer!

Just finished and have to say this was the least enjoyable course and conditions I've played since the game was released. Nothing under 9 mph and rounds 2-3 are 17-23. In round 3, several par 4s were unreachable. There is no light rough surrounding the fairways, and plenty of fairways and greens with slopes and run off into that heavy rough. My "favorite" was the 14th par three, in round 3 were 23 mph cross winds. Three water balls later off the railroad boards and I walked away with a smooth 10. Shot my career high round in TGC of 85. Hats off to the incredible -7, -8 scores for that day! I'm part of the "not ready for prime time players".... Good luck all, gonna need it!

Good luck all, gonna need it! 507yd par 4 I hit driver then 3 wood and was still 60-70yds short of the green for my third shot, agreed also on the fairways having no light rough, even though my -3 in round 2 was a good score i do not look forward to my third round at all :-)

I played all my rounds incase the update comes in and ruins the game.
Shots -5,-7, -8 or -9 and -5 for -25/-26? Not sure, don't care to be honest. I need a week break. I think the hole cutter on the greens needs sacking. The amount of putts that lipped out was ridiculous. And on #13 the ball literally went over the hole. How is that possible? Didn't even hit it hard.
You'll be glad to know that on Round 4 you can eventually reach #6 in 2 shots.
Roll on Season 2 and the PGA.

My last three rounds were uuugly... too many mistakes and couldn't take advantage of the rare birdie opportunities that I got. Not too good when your first round is -9 and your final score is -7. Given the difficulty for others this week, I'm sure -6 will make the cut, which means I'll have made all three cuts so far... that's all I can really ask for.

A couple of holes that were unreachable. Couldn't reach fairway on 18, not sure what to say about this.

Played my first 2 rounds with a 61 and then a 72 as the winds picked up in round 2. Noticed the incoming storm reeks some havoc for round 3 as some rain accompanies the wind. Weather conditions definitely raises the difficulty level this week.

So I guess the winds are different this week for consoles vs. PC. Since PC got the update yesterday.
Just curious as to how much of a difference there is?
Anybody on PC care to post their winds for this week.

Having a hell of time with my rounds and the swing on my controller is all messed up since the update; stuttering and stopping, and lucky to actually make a full swing after 6-8 tries. This makes the game nearly unplayable. Chipping and pitching is virtually impossible with the shorter swing...-5 in first round, debating whether to finish the tourney until updated.

Anybody on PC care to post their winds for this week. Wind is very different for me at least, one hole was as low as 3 mph, but then as high as 18 mph on other holes. Was like that all 4 rounds. I could not even hazard a guess of the average, as soon as the hole loads, there is your wind.

Very unusual course. Not web championship caliber IMO. Only played a practice round. May grow on me.
