I've created a no-time-limit Practice Tour on PS4 to get a feel of the course and the greens.
Under Tours search for tgctours.com-w31-ccpractice
Four rounds on Thousand Island Golf Club & CC (Tour) - good luck fellas!

Should be fun. We'll have to see what kind of winds we get for the practice event vs the real thing.

9-11mph on XB1 here though with those greens the wind is the least of my worries. In fact, they should rename it Thousand Bogeys as that'll likely be the amount shot across the CC!

I've played 6 registered rounds on the Tour course and have yet to see a flat putt. All side hill,up hill or down hill or up hill breaking and down hill breaking. I've 4 putted from 5 feet more than once. My best carded round is a 73 (+1)

Even if you manage to get within a few feet of the pin it doesn't guarantee a gimme as you know. I played 3 practice rounds (-2, -2, -3) and there's no doubt the greens on the back 9 are much harder than the front as I could get to -3 or -4 without too much difficulty on the front. I was missing some really long putts by inches, practically stopping as they approached the hole only to suddenly go past by 4-5 feet. A very nice course, a very tough course but this really should be as tough as it comes for us Web Tour wannabees! Unfortunately, I've heard the next course is even tougher

I feel you guys on putts! Did couple of rounds already: shoot a bunch of +1/+2 and couple of -1. My personal best a -3 bogey free. Totally tripped into some 3/4 putts from 6/8 feet too I'm choking on those green breaks

I am seriously rethinking my entry in this tournament. My frustration level is through the roof right now.

Definitely the toughest greens I've encountered in this game.
My best 4 scores so far
73(+1) 75 (+3) x 2 76(+4)
I figure I am leaving at least 6 strokes per round on the course with 3 putts(sometimes 4 putts) on a few holes.

Those really might not be bad scores if you're thinking they are. One's thing for sure is that they'll be far more people finishing over par next week as they are under.

If I can go +1/+3/+3/+4 for +11 for the tournament..I'll be more than happy.
