  But I have to agree that Olympic is almost as challenging as Oakmont, maybe it's a coin flipper imo. Thanks for the rant & hit em well.

  I'd agree, and maybe even argue Oly may be harder with the elevations, but I hear ya.

  Only words of advice I can give ya at Oly are:

  Don't try to stuff it in, just play for a 10 foot putt, when you try to hit it to 3 feet, things tighten up.

  When ya hit a branch, don't be a hero, pay for par.....means say on 10, hit the tree,, 300 t the hole, play the fairway to 170/'180 and stuff the 120/130 shot close for par.

  Best of luck.

  that special access website I and all the other legends

  Maybe not all the legends, just the WGT fanboys and girls, I think, have access to that corrupt site ;)

  As to the course, nice challenge, but I must say that having an Unlimited Play Qualifying is totally mad, as you now have a cut of 58. Surely in the game of golf (as I know it), you only get a few shots at qualifying for a major, like winning a touney, points etc, but in this virtual game, the ability to "restart", play it 500 times etc etc is just stupid!!!

  The course should be open to play in practise mode, Multiplay etc, but the qualifying should be just 1 "single play" game, so as to to give everyone a shot. I bet you wont see a cut of 58!!!!, more like 68...more like the real world. I go so far as to say make it 4 qualifying "Single Play" rounds just to be fair to the VEM devils that beset this game.

  How can I delete this course?It is obviously WGT's way to make money. Every piece of course information is corrupt. Blatant money making at its worst. 

   too much SNOW man brain sizzle lol says WD1! PS whats up with the wedges i counted 3 - 64 degree wedges in youre bag how does that work for ya = )

   SGTBilko:

  you must pay them $49.99 a month to delete it. Funny, I scored a 58, I guess that special access website I and all the other legends it not corrupted.

   

  Oh you shot 58? Gosh you must be the best player here!

   

   the ability to "restart", play it 500 times etc etc is just stupid!!!

  Very true I say good statement!

   

  these players scoring under 60  at Olympic are using clubs a lot of us cant own yet, playing with more time in the game with better understanding of club physics and yes sorry some must have degree in astro physics lol or program for dist estimation ive herd some stuff man lol laser ball ? just kiddn "big clubs big thud" big brain hope i can get those kind of scores some day! but Olympic money hole thats funny 1 did not loose ball just sanity  lol . but those post are funny too much youtube is un heathly for some;o  money is when you buy those R11 at lv 90! before blame is thrown click on there profile check scores check clubs! some even have multi sets and try different combos of clubs and ball to get dif results oh ya digg that chew on it for a bit win some creds and "JUST DO IT" lol!!!  

  "kirk out"

  I agree with those that think an unlimited qualifier is a bit unfair but I understand why WGT does it and to qualify you just have to deal with what is handed to you.  As far as Olympic being the toughest course on WGT... that remains to be seen.  From the Championship tees and tournament greens it is certainly extremely difficult (especially the first 6 holes!!).  Honestly, those that are not leveled up enough to have appropriate clubs have no chance at qualifying.  Is this fair?  In my opinion it is.... There are players on here that have spent a lot of time and money to get to where they are... therefore.. they have a better chance at qualifying for WGT's most prestigious event of the year.  Those that need to level up further... will just have to wait for next year.  I was at the same spot last year... so I didn't bother to try to qualify.  I continued to play and practice.... low and behold... shot a 56 this year... crossing my fingers that it holds up!

  Good luck everyone!
