Just played a round in 13mph winds in prep for the wind fix and struggled to even par finish. Easy course unless the wind blows. Good luck to all of you in D.

I played your ghost on the B setup today. I had between 8-11 winds. I think you finished -7 and I was able to squeak by at the end with a -8. I don't think I can do any better than that unless I start hitting putts. I was even on the original setup.

I don't get why every tournament set up has so much wind. Is it just me? I haven't seen a hole yet on this course with under 10mph head wind.

Played Setup B of this course today and was around 7mph, hit a -2. A friend and I played B last night together. With turn based enabled. ~15 mph winds I think I went 2 over and he went 7 over. Its gonna be a long tournament if we keep getting winds like that.

Its gonna be a long tournament if we keep getting winds like that. I just finished a round on the B set up, which now reads hardest after reading easiest yesterday. Carded an even par 71 but I left about 5 strokes on the course. Winds were 0-8mph for the round.

Good score.. I played the B setup twice and shot around 78 both times.. I watched a guy play on his video last night for awhile and noticed him making loft and fade/draw changes to compensate the wind.. It worked for him.. I've been doing what I do in real life and playing the ball with the wind.. Guess I need to learn to use the draw/fade/loft gizmo to take the wind out of play..

How this course plays is completely dependent upon the wind. If it's 15 or higher, par is a good score. If it's under 10, it can really be attacked. Just played a practice round in wind lower than 9 mph and shot a 58.

It took me 4 tries to par number one last night.. I kept restarting till I made a par.. lol.. Must hit fairway and the second shot can be tricky as well.. Kept coming up short on approach.. The par 3's seem tough.. Long shots over water into small greens.. Tricky little course.. Will do better than I did on HooDoo but so will everyone else.. Will keep practicing..

This course is fantastic and accounts for that with wide fairways. The course 2 weeks after however will be very very very hard, tiny fairways, tropical winds, eeeeeeeeek!!!

It's fairly easy once you work it out the way I do it is 5mph a third of the way 10 is about two thirds and 15 around about the next line, these are all estimated though so don't take it as definite, but I use these and it keeps the shots fairly straight with maybe a yard either side, but as You get closer, the ball goes higher unless you pitch it so you may have you add more... I'm on cc-b tour
