I think scores are the only thing we are not supposed to reveal.
In my practice round I felt the fairways were too narrow. Have not played in double digit winds.
Good luck all!

Had a couple of rounds with winds over 10. Makes a difference to hitting some FWs that are narrow.
It's a nice course IMO.

Hard to believe this course was vetted and approved. Really? How many FWs have you not hit? Ppl are shooting -14. Something tells me it's not that hard

It's a birdiefest if you can get within 15 feet. Not one of my favorite courses.

I think we also have to remember that this is all voluntary work that lovers of the game put effort into. So if you have complaints about course selection, why not get involved with the selection and feedback of upcoming courses? I'm sure admin would appreciate an extra pair of hands...

I am 100% with you on this, but I am not good with nuances. My feedback is usually: I really like this course, it was a good course, it was ok, I didn't care for it, and I didn't like it. This one falls between it was ok and I didn't care for it. I think this was a good selection for a Web event. The fact that we had to play all the same pin every round shows you the work that the greens needed. And the narrow fairways were a LITTLE (not a lot) too much.

As the person who use to choose the Web courses, I can say that this is not a course I would have selected. That's my opinion and I don't really need any feedback on how I personally feel about a course.

In this case, I think the narrow fairways are the courses only defense against low scores.

Not sure you understand the way it works. It might as well have been a fart in the wind!

I just played my first round and really enjoyed it, the greens can really favour you if you play the slopes. Posted a very decent score for once. Fairways are narrow, but round 1 winds were ok, easy to hit most of the fairways. A nice course.

Thought the course looked stunning. I have only played in almost no wind with a single practice round, however my feelings are that with low winds it is a complete birdie fest, high winds I think it could be a killer. Depending on the wind direction I can see some fairways being almost impossible to hit as they are incredibly narrow, with some carries being out of the question and I fear reaching some par 4s in 2 won't be possible... But that's just my gut feeling. I enjoyed the slopes on the greens which can be used to run the ball in and overall I think the greens were a little easier than most. To be honest if some holes are really hard or play unconventionally due to the winds, with the fixed winds it doesn't matter to me. I don't think scrambling this week will be too difficult. I'm sure it'll be great fun whatever winds we get

I'm sure it'll be great fun whatever winds we get Rd 1: 9-10 SE Rd 2: 14-15 SE (saw a couple of S winds) Rd 3: 9 S (never saw anything but 9) Rd 4: 8-9 SE Wind direction and speed (save for the higher winds in round 2) didn't vary much at all, making this one easy to dial in.

Hey guys. First week up with the web boys for me. I think the course is really good actually. If you drive it straight there are some good scores to be had. Greens are pretty flat compared to what the challenge tour courses have been. Anyway it appears putting up scores is forbidden so I'll just let you all know that I've given you all something to chase! haha

Results were finalized earlier in the day for week 32.
