Extremely disappointed in my 2nd and 4th rounds... shot -9 in both, and -48 for the tourney. I doubt I hit more than 8 fairways my final round, fought a hook the entire time. I honestly don't even know how I squeezed out a -9 as poorly as I hit the ball. My hat's off to those who break -50. Guess I'll be back at it next week to redeem myself

Ah very good. Well in that case 61, 62, 62, 58 (-45) That should put a bit of pressure on you boys Very nice playing in your first week on Web hammo. I enjoyed following your ghost and watching a very impressive final round performance!

Are we all playing the same course? The one I played was a royal pain the arse. Admittedly, I am exceptionally mediocre at this game, but I do have 3 top tens in my last 4 starts so I can at least hang around the leaders most weeks, but it was all I could do to grind out a 70, 66 in the first two rounds. I actively disliked this course from my first practice round a couple weeks ago, so that didn't help but I just don't know what game some of you are playing sometimes shooting in the 50's. Impressive stuff.

Impressive stuff. I was thinking the same thing. Some incredible scores. I'm not able to get close enough to the pins on most of these long par 4's to benefit from the flat parts of the greens. So far I think my best on this one has been 62, but I only managed 68 in round one. I'm finding the CC course (Fraxinus) way easier, even though comparing the scores between the two seems to say otherwise!

Yeah that's bizarre as I'm the the opposite. I hit -14 thru 4 rounds at Fraxinus (great course) and I'm -17 thru 2 rounds here.

Finished up my first two rounds yesterday - ended at -18 total (-12 first round; -6 second round). Couldn't get much going in high wind and had a couple shots trickle into heavy rough, leading to a struggle for par.
Played first 9 holes at -6 of round 3 before going to sleep for the night, so I'm sitting at -24 with 27 holes to go. Hoping to finish in the -40 range given low winds. Kudos to all those challenging -50; that's a heck of a score no matter the winds or course!

The leader who shot -16 on the first rnd had 9mph winds at worst.i watched his ghost ball earlier.I was playing with 15mph winds and didn't stand a chance of making fairways.sometimes only driving the ball 220 and falling short.shot -6 at the end.how is this ok? Fair? I've lost patience

Not my best performance, finished at -26 for the week. Wasn't my favorite golf course we've played.

Fair? I've lost patience Really? That's a big difference. Think I had about 10mph 1st round and 15mph second round. Had a similar thing happen to me at Crow Creek last week though although not as drastic as I had 15mph round 2 and struggled to even par whilst I saw some people said they had 11-12. I just took it as a bit of variance and bad luck.

Fair? I've lost patience My winds were as follows: Rd 1 = 9-10 Rd 2 = 13-16 Rd 3 = 8-11 Rd 4 = 7-9 With the wind fix in place, conditions are as fair as you're ever gonna get. There might be a few mph difference, or some slight variance in direction, but it's much better now than it was a month ago. Before the wind fix, some people would have 5mph winds, while others had 20mph+... that was unfair. PS, When playing in windy conditions, reducing loft on tee shots will flight the ball lower, and wind won't affect the shot as much.

Just want to make it clear I'm not bashing anyone who plays.if it is 9mph for 1 player it should be the same for another.the difference between 9pmh and 15mph is huge in my opinion.10 shots behind leader after 1 rnd = tournament over.

I was on xbox and had winds around 10mph for round 1. Wonder if there was an issue where a tournament had a different name on a different platform? If even one character's capitalization is different the winds will be different...
