  Those greens will take some learning and some of the pins are somewhat evil. Great to have a new challenge though.

  The new putter is better than the L77 Nike (although 2,500C for half a dot of balance isn't really worth it!)

  thanks lad's but I still cant get it to work lol

  I'l stick to the qualifiers for now, but I'd rather play this course in champ's to see it at it's toughest.

  Only played it once but it seem's opposite to Oly in that the front 9 at Merion is easy-ish then toughen's up on back...some cracking pin locations..so far so good!

  Steven ... always in the game window, first click stroke play and chose Merion as course, then in the VRITUAL U.S. OPEN 2013 page under experience Merion you'll find "create a group" ... and voilà .... gretat work WGT !

  I like the carpet like feel the greens have.

  #5 is a bugger.

  great course! hard as hell lol, but the breathers
  are very comforting and do a great job of lifting you up.
  would be nice if we had shot shaping available
  with all those nasty dog legs and trees lol.

  can't believe some people already broke 60 on it, geez... :)

  edit:
  not so hard second time around lol

  It's identical to the Master-level Max putter except with fewer increments, a slightly slower meter, and it costs 5c less.
