  Hi,

  It's a tough course but I guarantee, if you play it more, your score will improve!

  I played it too, finished on +7.  But it was AWESOME, just like a real game of golf.  I was pleased to have started with 5 pars, but a bad drive on the next set me up for a triple bogey.  Wheels rather fell off after that point, although I did one birdie on the back 9.  I will most definitely be playing it again... and again and again and again; it has got to have been just about the most realistic game I've played on WGT.  Tough?  Yes, but then we are trying to find the best player.

  Played it myself, and found it was very different to the other times i played. Was using GI3S balls, and when hitting for a 7-8ft putt found the ball travelling way beyond the hole. Something was definately going on, that usually doesnt.

  While we are on the subject of Oakmont. My game keeps freezing when playing this course, be it 9 or 18 holes. It only happens on this 1. Anybody else having this trouble?

  I played the 9 and the 18, and I'm joint second in the 18 and about joint 13th in the 9 hole. Single play is more like real golf, make some more WGT.

  I assume we're talking specifically about the USGA Championship???  Well, I was!

  Played it again, was -3 after 9 and going great guns.  But, in true US Open fashion, any slight mistake and you get punished... and I got punished on the back 9.  Finished on +2, although there were some really wierd shots dropped there.  Never mind, I'll try again.
