  Was that meant to be fun? Whats the point of green speeds as fast as those? On top of that wgt went all weird on me with club distance and an unplayable meter on first 2 holes. Totally ruined tourney for me. The lack of consistency is becoming annoying to put it politely.

  Knowing i had chance to win $100 or $200 before teeing offf made me very nervous and i choked a 5 foot putt on #1 for birdie, but worst of all I missed a 3foot putt on 2 for birdie, then ended up 3 putting for BOGEY, i thought it was game over especially when i was left with 25 footer on #3 for birdie.  Luckily i putted it and it kicked off my round, i then went on to get 61.  (if only i had not messed up #2 i would be top of leaderboard, not 2nd -at present)  It gave me a sense of what pro go through playing back 9 knowing i had chance especially on #17 with 30 mph headwind and knowing i just need to par.  SINGLE PLAY MAKES UNLIMITED PLAY LOOK INFERIOR, much more intensive & enjoyable.NICE 1.

  About to play this. Totally agree about single play. Have started only playing the SP CC tournaments.

  Brutal!

  I had to finish though....no worse than a double bogey(on one hole...lmao) with B-es balls and 30mph winds(and old R-9`s)...im actually happy with that!

  Thanks WGT for the fun event. After probably my worse round on SA I had on the first round, i shot a 61 and then a 67 which was very good for today's condition's of heavy winds/champ green's, which were the condition's that I predicted yesterday WGT would spit out for the final round. I look forward to the next event that WGT has.

  I got that 27 mph headwind at 5 oclock...then watched my 3wood go 235 yards into it, laying up in the left fairway...and trickle OOB...lol!

  Great shooting BTW!

  It was a good experience for us lesser human players :) .

  I learned that I will take my time and really learn how to play before rushing to TM thats for sure. I actually didnt fair too bad until 3rd round Hole # 13 (triple Bogeyed) it was downhill from there but was alot of fun just to be playing in it.
