  I shot a 62 my first attempt.............................

  ....And that should be the limit!.....1 attempt per person & if you disconnect or want to restart, you get no score. ( practice before you enter the tournament as in real golf! )

  I can't believe some people play this one & that joke Kiawah tournament and restart over & over until they make 2-3 eagles and finally decide to PLAY on......Unreal!

  I've played it 4 times now - twice on the sly before qual officially opened - shot 66,64,65,62.  Once I've got the greens down I can see myself getting maybe a 58 or 59 here....

  In heavy winds this course will be a totally different story - some tee shots will be impossible to keep on the fairway - it will make for a very interesting final.

  Yes, how dare they get  a good round due to practicing.  Its not fair is it.  they play well, score low and i cant be bothered to keep trying so they shouldn't be allowed to either.  Damn you good players.  Go and play frogger on the freeway..........so my round of 70 can win something for a change.   need a holiday to, so US open layed on by WGT sounds good, so all you good players, go away for a month.  Let Mr. Hack win for a change.  Damn you again!

  I'd love to, however the course just opened and is not available to shoot practice rounds on.  So, I'll use the tournament AS my practice for the REAL Open.

  Oh, and I'll do it whether YOU or ANYONE else thinks I should.  Know why?  'Cause I can.  That's the way the company that OWNS this website, this game, has set it up.  So, in my opinion, if you aren't taking advantage of the way things are set up, intentionally, then either you don't really care how well you do, and if so more power to you, or you are an idiot.

  In the game Monopoly, the rules state that when you pass the square on which is written 'Go', you get $200.  When I pass go, I take my $200.  When I play World Golf Tour, the rules for their Virtual US Open qualifier say I can play it as many times as I like, and restart as often as I like, over the given time frame.  And guess what?  SO CAN YOU.  When it's all said and done, we'll see who followed the rules as they are written more effectively.

  #$%^&*  I'd love to play Pro Basketball but I really can't jump.  Shoot, defend, pass, handle the ball all good, but can't jump.  A lot of people can't jump... they should outlaw jumping in basketball so that those of us with vertical challenges can make multi-millions too.

  Yes you can practice Olympic Club, can even set up a challenge match there.

  I managed to birdie every hole on back 9 in matchplay challenge.  Wow, it sure is the easiest back 9 on WGT

  No need to. Chris is right. Unlike past years, this course has joined the full bag of options.  :-)

  ........This so called "tournament" goes for what...another month! That should be all the time in the world to PRACTICE hours upon hours under real conditions before the legends enter & shoot the usual 53-54-55 or pick another number in the fifties!

  And, other threads are now calling for Drivers in the 290 range for "legends ONLY".  Now, Legends get to be legends because they are the "new" version of the "pinball wizards" from my day. And, what is the average to become a legend?....61!....Wow...99 percent of the over 5 million players would love to just get "1" 61 score, let alone that being your average......Me included!

  HAHAHAHAHAHA

  You do realize that is because there are no benefits at all to making it to Legend.  You act like the Legends shoot so low because they are Legends.  No, they shoot so low AND are Legends because they are $#%^ good (apologies to those who became Legends in the reorganization and really probably don't belong there).  There is a par 5 at Oakmont where the Legend tee is 98 yards longer than that of Tour Masters right now, and god knows how many yards beyond the tiers below Master, yet they can all use the same #$%^ clubs as the Legends.  NINETY EIGHT YARDS!  And you want to whine because someone wants the Legends to have a driver that hits an extra 8 yards?  My heart bleeds for you.
