  Sounds like you had a serious ham and egg day. I got a 62 out of 23 putts and felt like I had been put through the ringer. The course is a mind bender.

  Well holes like the first I can't reach in 2 shots without a tailwind! I had a few on the fringe for easy up and downs but my average putting distance was only 10 ft or something.

  I can't imagine scoring a 62 at Olympic ;)

  Neither did I. I ended up making 3 birdies on missed ding putts and holed out a flop shot on 18 as well.. I think the VEM was set to negetive 10 for it to happen for me. I tried to better it but haven't been able to get close at all.

  I'm all for bringing in tier'ed Major tournaments rather than just weekly ready-gos etc.

  I had a go at the qualifier and did alright until found some trouble and shot myself in the foot.  Look there are all levels of players out there who enjoy the game and would like to just be part of a world tournament at their skill levels.

  On sayng that I think development wise WGT would be better served spending money putting more into the current games, increasing the number of courses and options at club level. Trying to organise multi-player tournaments at the club level is damn hard and  after a while gets monotonous because of the lack of courses.

  Why make some so elitest that a handlful of the world's biggest "WGT-a-phobes"  can get on. And no-one will be any the wiser as to how they play anyway.

  But I scored a new avatar for trying so I am happy ! LOL

  I know this is suppose to be tough but does the game have to change its parameters.

  I mean shots that change and i know thats part of it all but really .For instance i hit my second shot on the first hole into a 8 mph straight head wind and im pin high but 19 feet left,a 9 mph cross wind that change the line by 20 yards,get real>> and no im nowhere near the cut,lucky to get -4... My 2 cents worth
