Dear TST enthusiasts,
It’s the week of the Sawgrass Championship - at the only course that would make sense for that tournament! You all know it - the tricky greens, the island hole. I suggest you make the most of your course knowledge this week! 😎
Have fun and good luck,
Frans
PS next week I’ll give you some faster greens… 😉

I don't particularly like slow greens, but I can live with them. What I hate, is the lighting in this game. When the clouds cover the sun, the game is very dark, IMO. I get that it's sort of realistic but damn I miss the clear, sunny days. Anyways, I blasted through my rounds. Better than last week.  |

Mmm, selected light clouds as far as I remember - and no dusk or dawn. I’m really trying to have some variety without putting you guys in the dark but it’s tricky. |

It's not you... it's the game or it's my monitor. Like I say it is realistic. This course has a lot of shadows from all the trees and the cloud cover darkens the course. Not a gripe towards you or your choices. More of a gripe towards the game. I love this course though. I love all the official courses as you already know. It just gives me the feeling of being out there because I don't know the courses well enough to see all the mistakes. I just enjoy playing this game even with the darkened skies. |

I'm back and here to prop up my Hogan brethren. Behold!  If I'm honest I have not enjoyed TST for some time now. After a two week break I thought I might enjoy it again, but not really. Will finish this week and then reassess. Onward. |

Gonna try to play this week, can't miss The Players -err The Sawgrass Championship. I've been ill and haven't played much - played crappy in a practice round but I know this course well and had my best finish here last year at T-24th.
What is sawgrass anyway? lol

Reasonably happy with my first 2 rounds. A careless double in the first round spoilt a spotless card. Started slowly in the second round, but come home strong with 5 birdies on the back nine. With rounds of -3 and -7, happy to be at 10 under at the halfway mark.

Will finish this week and then reassess. Onward. Third round gave me hope, 4th round dashed it.  I just don't know at this point. TBH I need to scale back my games and TST seems like the first to be cut as they are just not enjoyable at this point. But who knows, this might just be Wednesday talking. Onward. |

Not an auspicious start to my Nicklaus career - a couple -1's to start. I tried to play through poor tempo, probably not a great idea on True Sim.
But I did par the 17th both rounds! 😄😄

It must be some sort of optical illusion but the green looked smaller than the hole. Cheers. |
