  Hi WGT

  I just went and played the above tournament. The course set up I got was blue tees on the back 9 at Black Beth, high winds and very fast greens. Is this correct because the first round was Kiawah, from the short tees. just seems a very big change and the opening screen tended to suggest that it would be Kia both rounds.

  Same here but its just not the way they normally do things and I wonder if someone had a bit of finger trouble. If it is changed back then I would like another go as the back 9 on Beth with nasty winds is at least 4 shots harder than the back nine off short tees at Kia.

  Yes I believe this is a mistake. It should be Kia, multi-rounds are always on the same course. All second round scores should be reset. Anyone who has played this setup should be able to replay the round.

  I voiced my displeasure when they started the 1st round a few weeks ago like this. Of course that was 2 rounds at the same place at least.

  Part of this is them thinking we want variety I suppose, but it's the wrong way to go about it IMO.

  Putting St Andrews in the premium multi I get. Definitely puts more people in the running for credits. But the free multi is really minimum credits. Just keep it on the red/white tees. Going back to the blues makes it like every other tourney we have played, no sense there.

  I wouldn't hold your breath on scores getting reset, no going to happen and really shouldn't, it is what it is, just have to deal with it. Just needs to be addressed for future tournies.

  It does actually say on the intro to tourney, 2 rounds on the Kia course. I'm not too bothered if it is the same for everyone, feel a bit sorry for the am' and hacks though coming from a competitive course and set up to bloody difficult.

  isn't the Free Multi now a Tier based Tournament? Or did I get something wrong? It was a torunament for all players but now it is a Tier based tourney afaik

  How did I get stuck with the back 9 at Bethpage Black instead of The ocean coarse ?

  Hi all,

  Thanks for the feedback.  Next week the multirounds should be back to normal.
