I suppose to be the first who strike is link.

It's awful. Heavy wind with championship green, what can I say or what can I stroke. A 4 under that mean nothing, fight all times with a front wind or lateral except hole 8 with 30mph in my back. Saved from 100yds over the pin with a par.

This one is for great player, I feel that but I'm still not.

Not a spec, not a pixel of tailwind, best one was a 10 o'clock on the first, the rest was all within 11 and 1.

Unnecessary to say that with a 26 mph headwind on 5th a saved shot for distance would just be a joke. Knowing wgt , andrews and high wind, that battle will be between the 2 only guys who will get a headwind there :-)

31 mph 11 o'clock on 8th did not help either, but managed a 31 after almost wd after the first for missing a 3 footer, which on 1 is often even more difficult then making it

Well im at hole 4 now, and i have a 31mph tailwind. You know the drill folks. I can forget about the long drive, even before i get there. You never get 2 tailwinds in a row on these 2 holes.

EDIT: And here it is at hole 4 folks. Any chance i can put this 1 in instead Shoe, lol.

EDIT 2: And i make a bogey on this hole 4 with that tailwind, unbelievable.

As predicted, hole 5 drive. Not bad getting 290 from this drive, but it will be beaten no problem when somebody gets a tailwind:

Thats me done, withdrew after the 8th hole. Wasting my time to be honest. 24 mph left to right wind. Meter goes all crazy on me on the downswing, and i let it run through. I do this a few times, and the meter seems to have settled. But when i go to take my shot, the meter takes a dive past the ding line, and scuppers any chance i have. Good luck folks, but this is not for me anymore.
