  Did anyone get the back 9 anywhere?

  Ok I was putting around looking for landing areas (actually still putting around looking) but still I'm in a ANIMAL! heheehe

  Just had a 36 at my first go. Can't wait to play the full 18. Well done, WGT.

  How do you get to play 9 hole stroke? I can only access the CTTH.

  Very difficult to find the ideal landing area on most holes. On #5, that tree that hangs out over the fairway has knocked my tee shot down twice, but on #1 you can drive it right through the trees? Greens are hard to read. No par 5s on the front nine? Are you kidding me? Tell me the USGA won't have a par 5 on the front.

  Go into a single stroke play game from the menu and choose a ranked random round. It may take a few times bit it should eventually select Olympic Front 9.

  Okay....the USGA won't have a par 5 on the front.

  On #5, that tree

  Yep.  A prime candidate for a very quick and very fatal bout of "Stihl-itis".  I can see that one causing all kinds of grief for all kinds of players....

  The front nine is very easy to get in trouble with the wrong hit or a meter glitch. Number 5 tends to be the most brutal for me. So far the best I have mustered is a 32...Yikes
