  Or even at Merion - crowds were real close there especially on 4 & 5. Easy targets : )

  The new Nike avatar does look nice, but I can't exactly award you any points for doing it half arsed.  The females are completely ignored, and the males only get default male 3???  Seems to me that if WGT wanted to maximize their revenues they should offer more variety, not less.

  Nothing surprises me here anymore. Bunch of useless mofos.

  

   

  The clapping sucks WGT, cant we have a voice over that says FFS or something similar?

  The game forces me to swear & i don't mind that, hearing someone swear for me would be hilarious :)

  Course difficulty ratings:

  2.5 Merion
  2.5 Best of Hardest
  2 Congressional
  2 Oakmont
  2 Olympic
  2 Bethpage
  2 Best of Par 5
  1.5 St Andrew's
  1.5 Cabo del Sol
  1.5 Whistler
  1.5 Best of Famous
  1.5 Best of Par 4
  1 Kiawah
  1 Royal St George's
  1 Best of Par 3

   

   There is no way you can convince me Kiawah is the easiest in the game. Nor is Merion anywhere near the hardest.

   

  Assuming championship greens, I'd rank them something like this, hardest to easiest (excluding the Best Of's, since I haven't played them much):

  Congressional
  Oakmont
  Kiawah
  Whistler
  Olympic
  Royal St George's
  Bethpage
  St Andrew's
  Merion
  Cabo

   

  Thoughts?

  Hmm. I happen to like Merion a lot since I can hit a wedge on a ton of holes; if you're putting from inside 5 feet, it doesn't matter much what the greens are.

  There are, by my count, two holes that are difficult to birdie (#5 and #18). The rest are birdie holes by varying degrees. 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 11 are near-automatic birdies. So is 15 if the wind doesn't affect the approach too much.

  I can miss them from inside 5 feet easily !

  The reason i had Merion top was the slopes on some of the greens are brutal , that coupled with my putting woes means i can struggle there .
