  Whatever.... - still rekon it would be better to perfect the game we have already - they could start with reshooting the greens at Kiawah so u could putt with confidence rather than trust to luck.   

  Will look forward to u posting a score Eric.......

  I wish it would be possible to play alternates with UL...it would be awesome playing and talking to your mates about the uncountable choices for each shot, super cool way to learn the UL.

  Cheers, Eric

   

  We recently had an inter-CC pairs uneven lies Stroke PlayTourney with starter clubs and ball. First player hits his shot then tells the partner what club and spin. The second player then can make any adjustments and hit their shot. It takes a lot of communicating during the 90 second shot clock but it helps learn the uneven lies much faster. Using all the same equipment the two working together can really get some amazing shots and decent scores as better ball pairs.

  Cool Cerino ;-)

  I can imagine players were happy playing that way, to me alternates is still the best mode in this game, very social & the best way to learn new shots, awesome practice.

  C'mon WGT, let us play alternates with UL.

  I can see you are as crazy as I am about the UL feature mate.

  Cheers, Eric.

  As for Sara's comment....imagine you qualify in the new US Open submitting a 71!! is sounds horrible doesn't?, but for your surprise the most of the players did submit a 75-76 and a very few submitted scores under par, just like you did, all due to hazardous conditions with high winds & tough fairways....it would give you a great pleasure and great FUN too...lol, just imagine.

  Cheers, Eric

  Half thought someone would score either a 63 or 62 because i messed the front nine up completely,,Sebicu just came in with an amazing >>60<<< This shows that even on the toughest UL course a single play Open winning score can be achieved,I like what LOL Server says,,The game is way to predictable and needs a complete shake up if it wants to go forward,No doubt wgt will  tone it down as more and more feedback comes in,,Fantastic score Sebastian!!  Happy New Year Everyone:) As the sun sets in the west i bid you a bon Farewell,!

  LOL...I found bunker in hole 12 at St. A....some would say, this is stupid, crap UL, this is insane, you have no chance to hit that ball, etc, etc. Well, like in reality, the ONLY way to find fairway is hitting backwards...and that is what I did.

  It if hasn't been for UL the shot would have been possible in normal conditions with a full wedge or even with a flop for an easy bird.

  This is one of the main differences from UL and not UL, playing backwards and accepting to loose one shot. Yup, bloody difficult to make those low 50's under this conditions ...and some or many players do not like that.

  Cheers, Eric

  Sry i ruined your farewell song Tess for me you will always be the best player on wgt bar none. I was very lucky to have a hot putter. Made 4 putts over 25 ft. made a -8 on front 9 lol i dont make that on even lies. i still believe both lies are unrealistic and really need a makeover.

  Tip of my hat to you Sir. You scored into what I thought was nearly impossible for UL on Olympic. You mentioned  the most important part of UL's, the putting. Dropping long putts is key to finding scores never thought of as possible.
