It's easy to set up your own practice tour utilising the four different pin locations. You then get to practice pretty much what you'll experience in the real tourney. Even the winds won't be too far off.

Ive only played the 4.01 one. I just assumed all 4 rounds would be on it with different pin locations. I dont like the idea of different settings every round. Makes it hard to practice all week on one course then come tourney time its like your playing 4 different conditions. I think it's good having different pin placements, makes it truer to actual conditions moving the pin every day? (Except probably not as violent a change in winds, unless you are were I'm from where that is more than possible)

Im all for different pin positions. Thats what I said. I dont like having 4 different course settings. Meaning the firmness and speed of the greens.

When you change the green receptiveness(firmness) round to round..it effects everything. Putting,approach shots,chipping are all effected when you tamper with that firmness and green speed. I understand the designer's initiative on St Lorin and also understand he feels that is what makes a course "challenging". Yes you will get different playability at different times of the day over a 4 day period...but subtle changes in how the course will play...not drastic changes from mid/slow greens to putting on a tile floor. It just doesn't happen under any conditions in real life. I get it...I get the attempt..I get what the designer was envisioning..I just don't agree with it at this level for all golfers in CC and the displeasure will rain down once the tournament goes live. I would rather play all 4 rounds on the 4.01 set up(with varying pins) than I would having to play all 4 courses. Which for argument's sake..are all different.

Agreed with everything phlyer said. Different pin locations good. different settings not so good.

I finished this week at -31. I kinda hope I get the promotion to C. But in a weird way ive enjoyed D. I want to stay in one catagory all season, but instead of a week on D and a week on C maybe ill be better off staying at the mid of the pack in C. No offence...but the rest of us in CC-D are happy to see 5 players on exemption in C (up from D) at the top of the CC-C leaderboard. Why?..because we won't have to compete with your scores anymore One round to go and im holding in the top 3. I had my best round last -10 so im pretty sure ill stay somewhere around the top 5. Looks like im moving on up guys! Good news for you, bad news for me. But as someone famous once said....onward and upward! If I cant win a trophy myself will you sale me yours phlyer??

I was bummed out until I started looking at the other flights. Apparently my -31 would be good enough for a top 5 in most flights. even top 25 in the top flight. Maybe all the talent is bottle necked at the middle of the pack. They say getting out of D and C has been harder then any other Tier.
Spot saved Phlyer! Hurry it up. I think after all the complaining we did you will shoot lights out on the Hawaii course!

Funny you should say that...I currently have the course record on PC on the 4.01 set up. I knew my -6 wouldn't hold. lol Set it a couple weeks ago. I knew I would be de throned in no time lol What's yours? I think I saw you say -7 somewhere yesterday (just been lurking, not saying much lately) Haven't played the course in a while, or any rounds at all. Tomorrow will be practice day, if I get my groove early then will do my 4 rounds, if not will wait till Sun or Monday

Most probably not, for alone Schumacher is no unusual family name in Germany.
