Dear TST enthusiasts,
After last week’s tort… narrow fairways and slippery greens, you deserve some wider fairways and smooth greens. Therefore, I’m taking you to Yale!! Yes, it’s not Houston, I know, but I’ll take you to Texas plenty times later in the season.
Course and conditions should allow for some lower scores this week; hope it’ll help you build confidence in your Legend swing, and enjoy it of course.
Have fun and good luck,
Frans

I played my first two this morning. Have never played this course before but it's definitely an interesting one. Wide and open but the fairways and greens have lots of slopes to push you into trouble and there are plenty of shots with elevation changes. I actually found it quite a test this morning fransslabak 😬 Play well guys! |

I've played West Hill a lot in this game and that definitely helped. I think you'll get a big spread of scores around here though. Which will be great. Some will go really low but some loose iron shots and yeah, from experience, two putt is an achievement. |

So much for breaking par - I found it much harder this week. +5, +7, +6, +2 for a total of +20. Slightly easier off the shorter tee with low winds but definitely the toughest of the four courses we've played so far for me. Good luck all.

Played the 1st Rd, found the front 9 a test which I like but picked up two silly bogeys so 1 over at the turn but managed to grab 6 birdies on the back 9 to sit nestled in nicely behind Craig and Mark (Mr Phoenix) cheers , good luck everyone .

Mmm, so you guys aren’t as good as I thought or this course isn’t as easy as I thought… 😎😎😎
Hope you all still like it though!

I find elevation changes are my kryptonite... even modest ones coupled with wind. But it's a lovely set up for sure. Big words bossman btw, no pressure but you gotta back them up now...  (lol) |

Easy or difficult it doesn't really matter as long as it plays realistically and every pick and course conditions so far have been great and most importantly played realistically. Round 1 started spraying the ball around as my swing plane was really off but tinkered my swing mid round and tee to green my game felt good after hole 9 round 1. Just didn't putt very well this week. Played all 4 TST and TLT rounds also as I am away till Friday. My long game felt really good today hopefully can keep that going next week. TST is in a great place with legend difficulty and I doubt there are many who think it's the wrong choice. Looking forward to the next one.  |

Round 1: +1 Round 2: -1 Apologies Frans my phone died mid-stream and I got pulled away to watch a film. Settled down nicely after those first two holes. |

E +7. +9. dnf = +16.
This is more frustration than it's worth, so I'm going to move on. I doubt one less casual/Xbox player will matter. Good luck w/ your gridless pro tour.

My whole lack of patience is getting severely tested on TST.....throw in slow PC loads times, about 2 mins of clicking, waiting, clicking, waiting to get from 1 round to the next.....75 mins for 4 rounds in a society when it takes 50 mins in career mode. I'm gonna break something soon.
Of course when you come up against another course that is not enjoyable...a challenge yeah, but just didn't do anything for me. 2 x par 5's....criminal and one was impossible to reach in 2. Pins on mounds or 2 ft from a slope. Grrrrrrr
-9 total. Could have been better or much worse if I didn't luck a few putts.

PLUS 3 third round 😬
I genuinely quite like this course. It's just kicked my arse this week. I think I'll be asking for putting lessons rather than giving them this time around...
Hopefully one of the other guys carries the baton for Xbox this week haha

Played nicely in Round 1 to shoot 66.Just about kept it together in Round 2 to shoot level par 70.I must be making progress because I’m disappointed with that after missing 3 or 4 very short putts.
Very nice course,greens are tricky for sure but not unfair.
Hoping for a good weekend 🤞
