A Little Brook Manor comparison, WTF? Well, I was proud of my course until I just finishing reading this thread. Ouch. You should be proud of this course, its one of the better ones out there, just plays on the easy side. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed with a (VERY small) number of players who one week, will knock a course for playing too easy..and another week, bash a course for playing too difficult (oh no, I shot 63! This course is too tough! Give me a break...). I know, we would all love a course that plays tough (not tricked up), fair, and the winner shoots -30 to -40...and is enjoyable to play...I don't think too many of those courses exist in this game at the moment. Hopefully, we get some courses like this in the US Open design contest. We are trying our best to select courses that are appropriate to each tour. Sometimes we get it, sometimes we don't.

Sometimes we get it, sometimes we don't. crazy, i did not single out this weeks course, nor did i bash another for being too difficult, I will quote what i posted earlier in this thread so you can read it again: i am only 4 shots out of the lead on your course, I am 13 strokes off the pace this week on this course. what i said about your course crazy, was a few of the holes did not fit, we went over that, i did say i liked the rest of the course. but this weeks course does fit into the little brook manor type courses does it not? that meaning its as easy as pie, there are plenty of these type courses, i did not single it out by putting it in that class, it just is what it is ......is it not? you said it yourself: ill extend that to -30 thru -49 there are more of these courses out there than you give credit to.

This isn't directed at you taste, I'm just stating this for the masses: The courses selected through the end of March were selected with our old criteria. The courses selected for April, and from now on, are selected with a new process. Hopefully, this will result in a better balance of difficulty for our better players.

Taste, this was not directed at you. No need to defend yourself. I had just finished looking at a few posts from the Web.com and Euro boards, and a few comments over there irked me. Then I read headhunter's post and decided to vent my frustration.

I'll probably miss the cut after starting 63-60, but highlight for me was career low 57 in the 4th round, just missing eagle for a 56. Maybe there is hope after all for my game. Of course it's all relative as the leaders are still 25 shots better. But as they say on tv....these guys are good!

Real happy at a 14th place finish this week in the Valspar. Just finished my rounds for next week. -12 -14 -12 -14 = -52 Just couldn't seem to get it going. Would be very happy with another top 20.

-54. Terrible 61 in the first round. Just never got much going. Thought I had a shot at a low one in round two, but choked down the stretch and finished with 56. Not happy with the week, but I look forward to some more challenging tracks in the near future!

-15 and -16 in first 2 rounds to give me a healthy -31 heading into the weekend. Repeat that and will hopefully gain a T10 finish!

That last round was a huge WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Seeing as that was done, I'm sure there will be a few hundred people following that ghost, if you would not mind saving that scorecard for me I would appreciate that, I skipped past the screen by accident and that card is one for the mantle.

This is getting ridiculous! Wouldn't surprise me if someone shot 32 next.

I was up five on you going into the final round. Why you gotta do me like that Steve?
