That's about what I felt after the first round. Winds were 14 mph, but I was flying high after 9 holes with an incredible (for me) 5 under. I kept thinking the whole time: this is too good to be true, this is too good to be true, this is too good to be true.
And alas, too good it was. My holes #10 through #14 featured 4 bogeys and 1 double bogey! A birdie on 16 helped me equalize the first round.
The second round featured 13 mph winds, third round 10 mph, and the fourth round a reasonable 6mph.
I ended up shooting: 72 73 76 64
Which will most likely end somewhere in between first place and just missing top 70.
Don't go into this thinking that because you practiced Fraxinus a lot this week, you're going to do well. I must have played this course 30 or 40 times this week. (yes, I'm a little obsessive. yes, I have problems) My last 5 playthroughs were averaging about about 7 under and I even managed a 12 under for one round. Problem is: none of those rounds had to deal with double digit winds. It seems so statistically unlikely that a random number generator only gives me single digit winds across three dozen rounds only to have the same random number generator create three out of four rounds with double digit winds.

Yep, so much for the easy course mate. Just had 15-16mph mainly crosswinds in R1.

I'd like to know why there has to be 13-18mph winds in every tournament. Yet we can't set the winds higher in game to practice those winds. Reasoning?

I thought i had just played my first round scoring +2 winds were insane. Went to play my second it appears that it hasnt logged it. Started again and instead of the 18 ? wind off the first tee i get 12 ?
It also shows event E on the first tee of my second round. Sir Paul you may help here as i noticed you were also playing at the same time. I should appear on the Global as P1 SEL
I really dont fancy playing the first round again if im honest. Maybe i should just quit the game and see if by going back in i appear in the second round.
Thoughts anyone.

It is definitely a CC course but not when one round plays in 16mph winds, one in 13mph and one in 10mph with the other a 'lowly' 7mph. Practicing is just irrelevant so I'm just playing the tournaments from now on, which will suit me as I'll have no expectations when I do play.

I don't think there's anything you can do other than to continue from where the game took you back to. This thing does seem to happen a lot and it's not good. Not sure whether HBS are looking into it but I'd definitely raise the issue on their forums if not.

Paul, what were your scores? Hope it went well despite the wind! I just played the first round scoring +2
Then when i went to make a cuppa, came back pressed start and the game bought me back with the ghosts and mentioned the first round again. I exited to seer what was happening and then came back to E and Even event and 12 mph winds instead of the 18 in the first round.
I've reset and now im waiting to see if Doyley or someone can reply

Paul, what were your scores? Hope it went well despite the wind! -2(70), -2(70), -7(65), -1(71) for a total of -12 Steve. Pretty decent third round but as ever it started to go to pot in the final round and I started swinging and putting without any due care or thought. Should be interesting to see how the next one goes without any practice. As soon as I saw the winds I knew I wasn't going to be hitting the scores I was in practice but still thought I'd have gone lower in rounds 1, 2 & 4 and I should have as too many balls were scared to drop in the hole! Going forward the expectation won't be there and I think that'll have a positive outcome........................he hopes!

Well if 100 Web Tour cards are given out to CC members following the completion of the new Q-School in December then I'd honestly be shocked if I didn't mate! Mind you, no doubt they'll be PGA-Euro level players that sign up to the site to steal some of those cards away from us.
