  Looks like you've played the Qualifier to death. I don't think I could stand playing it so many times. I play it maybe every 2-3 days tops and I play better and don't get so mad at the thing. I'm also on a 60 best score and can't get it lower yet. Best of Luck and don't let it get to you.

  I can't qualify either but that's just because I'm not good enough.

  Is not worth it if only few countries are eligible for prizes.

  I prefer to waste balls in ready to go's where I can at least win credits for the balls.

  or playing with friend to have fun.

  also I found that the place plays very different every time. Clubs goes far or short, breaks that don't break some times and other time break more than usual. 

  Probably the tournament configuration was made to be that way, don't know, but I do like to play knowing what my clubs can do. I paid a lot of money for forgiveness, precision, distance and spin and clubs characteristics tend to dissapear at olypic.

  It seem there is a lottery every time I make a shot at olimpic. Only hole I know plays normal is number 3 :)

  Yes due to me restarting the front up to 15 times before getting my "hot" round i would notice every time i played a hole i would get a different result (play same shot in same wind and could be 6 yards long, 6 yards short or within 1 yard) And missed ding by a fraction could send ball 10 yards left/right.  

  Every now and then you would get a round where clubs react how they should and could post a very good score, then next round they go all over the place again.  You can definitely tell when those "hot" rounds appear.  It was same with putting too.

  The open was definitely set up as tough conditions and very unforgiving.  Playing Olympic the course has grown on me and its become my favourite course on WGT.  WELL DONE!

  when the correct shots are hit but then get manipulated 6 yrds off target....or bang on target putts slip inches passed or lip out for no reason other than the game's decided it's not going in.....this makes it more of  a lottery than anything else.

  there's far less skill required to play this game now....mostly luck of the draw.

  but hey...as long as we all enjoy the game....that's all that matters.
