Dear TST enthusiasts, For this week's Florida Open, I'm taking you to Donald Ross's Seminole. Weather is lovely, apart from a bit of wind on Friday and some overnight rain before moving day. I hope you visited the gym last week because this course isn't short...  Have fun and good luck, Frans |

I hope you visited the gym last week because this course isn't short... Have fun and good luck, Frans What time do you call this to post?! 😆 Been finished for hours! This is one of the nicest courses we’ve played visually I reckon. I never notice this stuff but the bunkers looked really well done, and even the rough around them. Really nice on the eye. Interesting one too. I think every par 5 was reachable every round iirc, but the greens on them were shaped in such a way to leave you a tough two putt. Then you have some monster par 4’s. All of those holes felt like par 4.25’s to me. AND that monster par 3 that nearly had me drafting a letter from the short-arse fittings union  Lovely course, nice setup. Really enjoyed it 👍 |

6 birdies and 2 bogies in round one ... Had some strange tempo issues on a lot of approaches which cost me a better score. Oh well onward!

Bogey free 8 under round 3 then had a break for some lunch and after hitting my first eagle of the tournament on the 3rd hole completely forgot how to play the game properly including double bogeying the 14th ... Limped home in -1 for a 20 under total

Hell of a start from Horus this week. There were opportunities there but -28 after two is very impressive shooting.

What platform are you on? Last gen console? Yeah ps4. If it doesn’t have a 60fps mode you’ll really struggle, likewise if it does and doesn’t hold a steady 60. I’ve tried 2k23 on quality mode on Series X and the 30 frames it gives make it borderline impossible to play well. |

Thanks for using Seminole, it took a lot of time to replicate this one. I knew it needed to be done really well, it deserved it and after reading the comments, I think Ross would be thrilled to see his masterpiece still offering a challenge even in a virtual World. I'm not really working as hard as I was on these, the REAL World called me back to work but I have 2-3 big'ens in the works. Hopefully this copyright infringement bill that is being kicked around in Congress doesn't outlaw LiDAR courses. www.sportico.com/law/analysis/2024/birdie-bill-golf-courses-copyright-law-1234767246/ |

Onward!

This could have been really good if I hadn't thrown in four bogies and missed another half a dozen easy chances but I'll take it... Did make a 56 feet eagle putt so that helps… 😎 Round 1: -9 Round 2: -6 Round 3: -6 Round 4: -14   Total: -35 |

Have definitely played this course better in the past seasons!
Sometimes felt like I couldn't hit any good swings to save my life, definitely can't get a read on a single putt from past 6 feet (made nothing from 9 feet and beyond in R1...).
So how in the heck am I -9 through 2 with a -3 and a -6?
Cheers, good luck?
