Almost wish I didn't have to play all 4 ;-)..the wind was high round 1 so what did I decide to do, keep playing but I've gotten a little better. 77, 74, 69. Just hoping to not get a strike.

Not looking forward to this one at all. This course is going to be a challenge for some of us. 1'st 4 holes are killer for me. Although I eagled the 1'st hole in a practice round last week. Did several practice rounds, best one was a -7. Thursday and on I've been having major issues with hooking and slicing all over the place, no matter the course. Not sure if my X1 controller sticks are worn. I sent myself back into training school and spent the last 3 days playing official courses. Even on the easiest Little Brook Manor with the wide fairways I was hooking way off the fairway, just brutal lol.
Some decent rounds yesterday so am going to go for it today, Just going to play conservative, get close to the pins as much as I can and maybe grab a birdie or two. I don't care how I do, not expecting much, other than a bottom of the leader board. I had a good opening for last week and ended with a tie for 9'th, got some points, moved up in the WGR, hope i don't slide down much after this week. Just want to get this one over with.

feels like this is a tougher course. is it the greens or just me? I couldn't get my head around the greens either. Some of the rough was a nightmare too!

Hhmmm, I thought that HB had finalised the wind issue and we were all to experience the same wind. I am in CC-E, and the wind was upwards of 15 mph and only got down to 8 mph, but rarely.? That was in my first round. Kind regards to all, oz played all 4 rounds in 13-15mph as well. over the course of yesterday and today, didn't see anything calm.

Ozgreat, they had to remove the wind fix due to issues with ghost balls, its supposed to be coming back soon I think. Not a minute too soon if you ask me.
Got that mess over with. Never have to see that course again. Not much of a fan of fast sloping greens. Lol, I think I've shot better on Magnolia lol. Just did all my 4 rounds, didnt even put much care into it by about the 5 hole, 15+ mph winds, 4 over by hole 6. I was just rushing through to get it over with, by the 4'th round i wasn't even taking time to line up the shots. 76-79-80-81.
I wish HB would tone down the frequency of these 15 - 20 mph winds. I don't mind playing them on occasion but every tournament it gets a little old. Dont get me wrong, I'm not complaining, and I do like a challenge, and i have no desire to be in the -20 crowd per round lol

feels like this is a tougher course. is it the greens or just me? The greens are tough and the course overall is a real challenge with the wind. Played the first two rounds today and shot 69-66. Pretty happy considering the conditions, but I had four putts in round 2 slide just past the lip -- could've posted a really low number. Practice rounds are a big help -- get to know where on the greens you want to be -- or don't want to be. Good luck to all.

I had the most troubles with the thin fairways and what seemed like very thin light rough. So I was in the "heavy stuff" quite often. At one time, John the announcer guy, seemed to be laughing at me.

Fellas I'm on D tour and this course ripped me a new one Two rounds minus one final round even... Now the second round I absolutely hacked around and I doubt I hit one green or one green in regulation... 82 for that round.....
Don't know what it is I usually play these courses decent in practice then when it counts I fold like a cheap suit lol ....
Love the course but man it took me to the woodshed
Good luck gang

My goal was to shoot even par 4 rounds since in practice i never made it under par. Was very surprised to shoot a 68 first round.
I hate this course. The greens are tough. Almost every putt even from 10 ft in was tough. I had one putt up hill that stopped one foot from hole and rolled back off the green. How the hell does that happen?
Looks like the early leader shot -12??? Are you kidding? Get this guy promoted lol.
Overall 68-67-70-70 Not good enough to win, but much lower then i expected!

I'm really disappointed with my performance on this course. I have had plenty of birdies, but they're almost always immediately followed by a bogey. My first practice round here a week ago, I was 7 under thru 8, and figured this course was going to be a piece of cake. Now I've gone and shot 69-74 for a -1 thru 2 rounds. Kinda dreading finishing the tournament.
