Created a tour titled 'No AIDS Congressional CC'
Pit yourself against the 2011 US Open at Congressional, -16 had Rory winning by 8 shots, have you got what it takes to dethrone him and take the Championship???
Using the original 4 versions of the course which play very similar to the soft conditions that greeted the field in 2011 so this should play very authentic to the real deal and be a test with no aids....
Good luck and enjoy!!!

Yeah not your best golf the first 2 rounds mate, I'm -8 thru 3 now... Rounds of -3,-1,-4.... Happy with play in round 1, let a good start slip in round 2 and only just managed to break par with a birdie birdie finish I think after being -3 thru 9, round 3 I was -4 thru 9, sloppy 3 putt bogey on 11 that hurt my confidence bad and only mustered 1 more birdie on the way in. Sitting 6 shots off Rory with a final round of -7 needed to replace him atop of the final leaderboard, not likely but possible! #dreaming

On a side note tho Rob, your back 9 of round 3 was nothing short of spectacular, reminiscent of the great Seve on 11 after flailing your approach right of the green and into the pond you elected to take a drop on the cart path on the far side of the pond and want do you do? Pitch it, spin it, sink it. Spectacular shot and with that salvaged par it kick started a run that saw you birdie 12, 13, grazed misses that could have dropped on 14&15, birdie 16, lipout 17 and just miss on 18, was a great 9 like I said after what could best be described as a loose front 9 won't go into details there tho mate, ha. Looking forward to the final round tomorrow or so....

No Aids??? Really??? I don't play this way anymore... Why? Didn't enjoy it!! Simple..But those that do enjoy it good luck to you!! Mainly the lack of graphic clarity on greens was my reason for stopping playing it! yes you see breaks but other times its laughable in the sense what you think you see its the complete opposite..But No Aids needs to be renamed! Simply because the biggest aid of all is using someones ghost who's great at the game and it really annoys me! I get the point the option is there to use them etc but some are relying heavily on ghosts on both tgctours tst etc... In my view its wrong that someone goes into a tourney, Does all the hard work on his own of figuring shot types out and takes the risks of being wrong, while later his ghost can be then used by someone who is quite frankly lazy to figure out there own shot.. No Aids?? Mite need to retitled that 1! I appreciate the fact some people like myself don't use ghosts period but I've a feeling we're in a minority.I would love to see ghosts disabled for tourneys on every tgctour...Rant over.. #playyourway #ghostbustersplzhelp

Yes I know this but how many adhere to that? I personally would find playing with ghosts distracting..not for me.. Even at 1 ghost its 1 too many in my eyes.. 1 is all you'd need to have a significant aid!!

You would be surprised how little playing a turn based ghost helps. I play just by myself sometimes as well if I am not feeling it and just trying to hurry and finish, but I enjoy playing a round with a turn based partner. There's a lot less help with a turn based player along with you than you'd think. I only brought it up because I wasn't sure if you were aware. I would suspect that a lot less people ignore the turn based (1) ghost suggestion than you think.

To someone who might not b of the highest level on tst playing with a ghost of a very good player could help quite considerably at times I'd imagine.. As Ive also said.. How many adhere to the ruling of 1 ghost? ... Whether your playing turn enabled with a ghost or disabled.. Great players get followed. That's my point.. I'm not near the elite of this game but I feel for the ones who are at times as they're the ones who's ghosts are being used....
