I am quickly losing interest in courses where a -15 through 2 rounds is borderline cut, which is where I sit after a -10 & -5. Last week was the same old crap, birdie fest galore. Now this week you basically need a -10 every round to even hope to keep within striking distance. I honestly don't see my interest in TGCT web.com continuing if every week is the same harvest themed birdie-fest type course. It's fine once in a while, but it sure seems like the last 3 courses have been very similar (and so mediocre, I really dislike the greens on this canuck attempt). Where's the links tracks or highlands courses? I have to disagree with you. I don't know if you played last season in the high winds some times but that's just frustrating a) because 20+MPH is simply unrealistic (last year I don't remember what real life major was suspended for 30KMH winds - which is 20something MPH) and b) because in those winds you'll always see the same names on the top. always. What we have now instead is the chance to mix things up a lot and have more fun in my opinion. It is true that a PAR in those courses is mostly a lost shot but if I can squeeze couple of sub 60 rounds together, everyone can. I'm playing this game since August 2015 and I can tell you it is only a matter of practice, practice and practice. Everyone could do low scores with some work when the game is "understandable" - and with 20+ winds it is not.

I don't think he was complaining about the wind though more that he was sick of the same theme of birdie fest course every week, I think Oswinner was saying that they were hoping when picking courses that the theme would throw up some wind and offer some protection to the courses an suppress the crazy scores a bit and this just hasn't happened. I'm not a fan of the harvest theme really but I did like Ballyntyne and Oktoberfest. I can fully understand why most players don't like the birdie fest courses as its not really fun chasing down really unrealistic scores not just to content but to even make the cut, you kind of summed it up in your previous post that you took yourself out of contention as you could only manage a 62, which should be an excellent score and not have you losing ground really. I agree with you 100% about the practice thing, you only have to look at the practice events on here and you will see the same names on the leader board 3 and 4 times sometimes and they are the same names at the top end of the tournament leader board also, the thing is for some they can't put that type of practice in all the time.
