I personally don't think it cheats me, but it is just off a little bit on a couple of holes as everybody has pointed out. Number 9 is hard to begin with, especially if your adrenaline is flowing after making 6 birdies out of 8 possible holes. Just relax, and hit a 220 yard drive to the right side of the fairway (that's where i like it) and dont worry about distance as much as straightness here. You won't be a hack for life, it's hard to finish off a round like that. Just stick with it, play it safe, and par that hole for a low 30!
