SPEED, this greens are obnoxiously fast. I'm trying to get a practice round in now and it's not pretty, well the course is, my game isn't. Touch and speed control is at a premium here, there are lots of fairway run-offs around the greens for a reason, long irons and fairway clubs have almost no bite on these greens. Plus flop shots bite and roll back like crazy. Good luck boys we're gonna need it.

I'm mired into so deep of a rut I don't foresee myself getting out of it any time soon. Right now it feels like when I just started playing the game. I may withdraw from all tournaments until after Christmas and just take a break.

Course is incredibly fun with some of the most punishing greens I think I have ever played in this game :L The speed of even uphill putts was incredibly hard to judge and the short 6 ft downhills are truly the stuff of nightmares. I struggling to see a winning score for this week in any CC better than -40 (But hey, someone always seems to goes monstrous so who knows!)

I've been practicing the heck out of this course all week (Canuck, you're an evil sadaistic...) and am just about to make par or slightly better. I pretty much shoot betwen 71 and 74 on a regular basis. But that's with no pressure. I can't imagine how I will do once I start to tense up. The back 9, especially 10, 11 an 12, kills me. I've worked really hard on that 11th hole and think I can now make par regularly, but that's about it.
I'm not really looking forward to this but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
Wish me luck.

Looks like i will be getting demoted to E..Fine by me, I know I can compete down there with little to no practice and the less I play this game the better. May be time for an extended break from the tour.
Started out good, -4 by hole 6, then as usual I fell apart. Then it was 4 rounds of birdie, bogey birdie bogey, hey lets throw a double or even triple bogey in for good measure. Funny how I can shoot -12 and -10 in practice, then tournament time it's a whole new game.
All in good fun I guess lol
Now off to shoot some stuff in Fallout 4 and ignore golf for 6 days.
/sour grapes Tim signing off..
Sounds like I'm whining but actually I am laughing at my play today. One can only laugh at it. My GIR and FIR should be interesting to see lol

Played this for practice and shot -38. Good test in that wind, especially the final round. Perfect course for CC.
Andre, if you're reading, the course is stunning. The light and colors in round three make it maybe the best-looking course I've seen in the game. Good luck all.

Well, I gave it my best shot.
Round 1 – 72 Round 2 – 73 Round 3 – 73 Round 4 – 71
Shot 1 over. Flirted with par the hole day. Was as good as 3 under going into back 9 but that back 9 just kills me.
I have no idea if this will be good enough to keep me in the top 70 and if not, with the demotion strike I'll be getting from last week (shot +4) and this one, I'll be one strike away from Z class.
I wish they'd just put me there already and get it over with.
