  After 2 months of Qualifying I believe that WGT should start a new topic with the players who are actually going to play in this Event  make them post their scorecards.

  Starting the first of July all Players that who have Qualified should post all screenshots of their 1rst round. All portions of their scorecards like GIR'S, ETC.

  Second Round the same as first. The only way to tell if the game is fair to everyone.

  Why I would like to see this you might ask yourself? Think about it a moment just because your GIR percentage is better doesn't mean you are better in course management.

  Good idea. I'd like to see this too. I'm a bit of a statto and would find it interesting to see how others faired on the course. I'm sure there's many players who do take a screenshot for personnel records.

  I'd be happy with just seeing all qualifiers' finish the final rounds. I'd like to see what crunching the game for 2 months with the same conditions does for playing the course once with conditions they don't know.

  You and others that play this game are very good with stats. Just in my mind it would be very interesting to compare them.

  All I have to say is stay tuned into the forum  Mr. Jim.

  I'm as much of a statistics nut as anyone .. but what does this mean ?  The only way to tell if the game is fair to everyone ???     I have no clue.

  Thanks,

  Preferably the final rounds should also be filmed.lol.  The deviation or shots such as wind not effecting etc etc are horendous in final rounds, so it would be good to see who gets these "hot" perfect rounds and who gets the horrid ones

  I apologize if I mis-spoke and you took it the wrong way about being fair. The players should come here into the forum post their scores and talk about how their round went.

  Let us see who got what wind direction on what holes and compare notes. That is fair.

  Theres really only two holes that give you a obvious advantage.

  2. Tailwind so you can reach in 2.

                - I assume w/ sidewind lvl 98 players are not reaching with R1 Driver?

  10. Right to Left wind.

                 (unless your cutting through trees, it would take huge nuts to do this in the Open Rds)

   

  Obviously there's easier ways to play all the other holes w/ certain winds. But those two holes give you reasonable eagle chances.

  This is something I'd like to see over anything else. There's going to be a huge amount of players who try as they can to qualify and fail. That's part of life. The ones who succeed to qualify need to honor their commitment and their fellow competitors by completing both Open rounds regardless of score. Last year I was very disappointed to see WD's on the leaderboard during the first round. I also still remember some of the names. What that tells me is they had the skill and fortitude to fight their way into the Open then failed to live up to themselves as actual Sportsmen by finishing it out. I don't want to hear any crap about wasting ball life. It's the damn US Open and you've played your way in. Be a true Sportsman and finish the damn thing. All of us on the outside watched with envy when you got in and we didn't. Honor yourselves and the rest of us and play it through.
