  Thank you for the Olympic course WGT. I don't like it much cause keep hittin tree branches and some of the pin placements and greens are a nightmare but I'll figure it one day . . . and it's always good to have a new challenge :)

  Any other new courses on the horizon?

  Agreed.

  I had a thought that I would score my best round the day after qualifying was over LOL!!

  I like the course. Its very challenging, and challenges can be overcome.

  Thanks WGT.

  Great course, really like everything about it.  Only complaint would be the lack of shot shaping keeps us from playing it the way it was meant to be played.

  I reckon It's great... It's tough as nails from tee to, into the hole. very challenging. 

  The last 2 new courses... Whistler and Oly...

  Whistler.. easy from tee to green... the greens destroy your soul...lol

  Oly.. Tough all around.. the greens I'm not sure about, as the rolls on the greens don't play like the other courses... but very very nice course.

  If your hitting the tree's.... Full B/Spin off the tee will get you over em. Except for one hole..not sure which hole it is now.... if you have full B/spin on that tee then you will hit the tree on the right... normal shot will get you under it.

  I'm having no problem bending it like Beckham around the trees. Draw and fade work fine off the tee.

  Couldn't agree more. And you know what, I saw the shot shaping controls in the game-client one day when I first joined and when we questioned WGTalex about it, she said it was a feature that would be implemented in the future. I'm sure you saw it too B.

  The controls were just above the golf ball spin function, and then it disappeared.

  Will try that Roger . . . thanks for the tip :)

  It's #5, and I avoid getting that light green round tree in the ball's path (right-hand, some yds further than the beginning of the fairway). That seems to do the trick, too, regardless of bs.

  We're lucky that the first trees on ##1 and 10 are immaterial, alas I struggled @#14. A full shot is likely to find a tree left or the rough right - throttling seems inevitable.
