All right, got it now and can kind of see the "U" you are referring to and am familiar with the particular team in Miami. So, now you go after him with that and I insult him with the LSU thing, I am sure that there are many more out there to piss off......line 'em up, one at time I say...................Kind of like that other "Miami" team from Ohio that lays claim to being "THE" University of Miami!
thanks for the clarification dopesaks, mucho appreciado..

Ok Dopesaks,
Sorry, you are going to have to explain this to me, have no idea on what it means?
"It's all about The []_[]. "
Appreciate your comment.

"It's all about The U" is a reference for The University of Miami. The college football team I root for. Just giving the Clemson fan a hard time. Even though we have sucked for a while now.

I agree this course a little tough especially on round 2, but such a breath of fresh air compared to last week's tourney. (No disrespect to Yeti) I managed to score in the Upper 70s all 4 rounds. Hope everyone enjoyed this week as well.

I have a feeling the week after next might cause us a few problems Hau'oli Mino'aka Golf Club... If we have the same winds this is going to be crazy.

Sarintra, Absolutely correct, good observation. Played the course in 12 to 15 mph winds and it chewed me up and spit me out. The beauty of this course is not lost on me, but the winds made it an ugly step-sister! The twisting fairways coupled with the numerous bunkers really make for a challenge and keeping the ball in play with the stiff winds is a real test of both nerves and skills. Since a lot of us down here at this level are handicapped by our skills, can only see the average scoring totals increasing as they have been since this new format has been put into place. For me, the purpose of the lower levels of skills was to present a little less difficult challenge than what the Bigger Dogs see and to have fun and improve the skill sets. As it stands, the fact that we do play the same courses as the Bigger Dogs up in CC-A&B, under the same environmental conditions is slowly eroding the fun and excitement aspect of the intended purpose of these ranks. I enjoy the challenges and competition that this format offers, but seeing the difficulty of some courses with the given wind speeds is discouraging at times and the fun is less and less. Am trying to maintain a positive attitude about it all, but that is becoming more and more difficult as the beating continues. Just one small guys opinion on the state of affairs within the bottom collection point for the TGCT. I am hopeful that lady luck will again grace me with a sub-par round and some more favorable wind conditions for a weekly event.
Hope that you all have some luck with the courses and shoot some good scores, think that it would boast the confidence factor a lot.

I have a feeling the week after next might cause us a few problems Hau'oli Mino'aka Golf Club... If we have the same winds this is going to be crazy. I can't help but agree with you. It's not like we are short of courses to play like the 'other game' I can manage to play any course reasonable well as i'm improving and that's down to practise really, but this course in high winds would be a challenge for the best on this forum. I'm not complaining because I would sooner have a challenge than knocking it to 5 ft and making 12 birdies in a round but with an abundance of courses to choose from and it clear that A B and C are for the' most part' better than D E and Z maybe we could play a course a little less challenging or at least not have the wind set quite as tough if that's possible. If changes are made that's fine, if not that's fine too. I will continue to play this game maybe moan and b%& here and there but honestly i find the game, the forums, the course developers, the game developers a breath of fresh air. My major disappointment was when the game was released i read poor reviews so i decided not to buy it. That means i wasted a year without this game.

71-76-70-67 (E) for me, having read the thread I was prepared for R2's high winds and was happy enough with that round. Lipped out a putt at the 18th in R4 so could even have ended up under par overall - if I have a disappointment it's that I didn't score that well in the first round, a consequence of only practicing this course once I suppose and that was around 10 days ago, I've just had too much stuff on lately.
Delighted we have universal winds now and a level playing field, I don't mind playing in 17-18mph winds so long as everyone else is. I got totally done over in a couple of early tournaments with high winds and my own refusal to "game" the system and wind wait, but those days are over now, excellent stuff.
