  Good game with Seb, must have had him worried, I was leading until the 2nd hole, an eagle there soon sorted that out.

  He left a few out there, and I had some srcappy holes on the back which spoilt my score.

  

  

  

  I have stored all the stats, if needed.

  had a really enjoyable game with John last night. We boths started really well making 15ft+ putts and missing 7 footers :), but we cooled off in the end. John was really unlucky with some putting his score should have been 64 or better. Was fun thanks for playing John!

  ^^ I'm truly flattered.

  Have never been so nervous since I can't remember when,

  I think I stopped shaking on the the 4th hole.

  "Thank You" very much for your kind words sir, I really appreciate it. But I must admit if it wasn't for having 2 "Great" teachers on how to put one of these on I would be a complete disaster.

  I know I make mistakes but I try and correct them ASAP.

  Now I would like a little feedback from you folks whether you have played your round or not.

  Taking out the 2 highest scores from the lower tiered players that have played so far the Average score is just a hair over 67. What do you think about the scores being realistic as they should be?

  Edit: I'm sorry my name is Steve.

  With the forward tee for this round the scores are better than expected. My score was much better than I had practiced.  For myself, it made the par 3's much easier and the 2 par 5's a lot easier to handle. Overall the hardest par 4's were also a lot easier with short to mid irons instead of the 3 iron or 3 wood. Just reaching the 18th in 2 shots made a difference.  I think you'll see scores higher if we have a round from the tips.

  Great job with the Tourney "Steve".  ;-)

  I've been very conscious of the timer when putting. I don't know about everyone else, but Merion, like Cabo and Whistler, seems to be so graphics rich that it sometimes takes a full 30 secs to change view. Or maybe it's something to do with the WGT servers running a heavy load with Merion being so popular. Either way this is going to make it rather tricky reading greens in reverse view with a 30 or 45 sec timer. Even 60 would be a bit of a rush.

  I know our splendid host is thinking of jazzing things up for the final stages, but too short a timer could lead to loads of timeouts simply due to the slow load times. What does everyone else think?
