We'll have to wait until patch is out on all systems before slotting it in - will announce the new W10 course asap.
EDIT: Course is Royal Lytham & St. Annes 2015

Ok I may take this as lesson learned.
I seen no multi-pin released for this course until yesterday, did not even see a multi-pin announced. I assumed it would be a single pin event. However because the tour version was built after the PC update, 2 days ago, it cannot be played on consoles, but the announced version of the course can be played just fine on all platforms.
No biggie, however I am not alone, some of us start practicing the course 2 weeks out. It would be nice to know the course, whether or not it is going to be multi-pin and have the course ready to be played no less than 2 weeks before the event.
Yeah, I get it, it might give someone a slight advantage if they practice the course first. However I see nothing wrong with that.
Surely, someone might see there might be a benefit in knowing the autogen did not drop a tree right next to he hole, or other issues like that, that can arise, and it could be reported and addressed before the event.
Building, publishing and then announcing the course the day before the event goes live, might not be a best practice going forward IMHO.
OK my Rant is over, it might come from the fact I may of played the announced version of the course 20 times already, and now see that time spent as completely wasted, who knows.
Have fun folks, again, I have said it before, I know you folks work hard to do this for us all, I really do appreciate all the work you do, even when there is the rare hiccup, I still really enjoy my time here, and THANK YOU for that.

It's never time wasted. It's not like he changed the course routing. The firmness changed for two rounds and for two rounds it's the same. Pin placements are different. Again were pushing it back... But the pins would have been out for 3 days prior to start of event. That is enough time to adjust.

It goes live tomorrow, or 32 hours.
I don't think 2 days is enough for new pins and conditions. Course was published Wed night, that would give Thursday and Friday.
I get it, I'm one of the few that will spend time practicing it, so it's only an issue for me.
I look forward to seeing the new course, I'm not scheduled to play in any event, was crossing for Rivington and I was scheduled however I will wait to see the new course before making a decision.

Count me in as one who also needs practice. On a side note, congratulations on the courses you've designed. I'm amazed and blown away at the time and effort it takes to create top level courses and please know that your work is special and appreciated! Horned Viper was outstanding! (What a suck up, right?? LOL)

Royal Lytham is a tough AND enjoyable course to play.

With 1-2 minutes to go I decided to use my privilege of using a crossover and enter in this tournament as I love RCR's and found this a stern test that I couldn't resist.

IRL pin sets are released on the day of the round. That is not possible here unfortunately, but I don't see why practicing should be a "right".
