    Do we know what the conditions are going to be for the 4 rounds?  I want to set up an identical CC comp so my club's members can have a go for fun and see how they compare.

    WGT never tells the conditions.

     

    Last year Merion had one round on Slow greens, I think Oly had either Slow or Fast as well.

    Corwyn:
    Hey Russell, thanks for sharing too. Try not to dwell on what-might-have-been, and keep plugging away. We'll get there!

    Sad to see neither of us made it... :(

    I managed one last attempt yesterday and was -7 after 7 holes, having eagled the 5th (I'd even gone close with a long putt on #4 as well), but it all went pear-shaped after that. Next year...

    Best of luck to everyone who qualified!

    I wasn't able to qualify, but I knew I'd never make the cut even before qualifying began. The only thing frustrating to me was despite all of my attempts, I was never able to turn in a bogey free card from the Legend tees.  I can't even tell you how many times I had to restart because of that stupid par 4 4th. There were even a few times when I would get Bird on 1 and 3, and get up and down for par on two, only to miss a 6, 8, or 10 footer on 4.  And during the few rounds when I could manage Par on the 4th, I'd still manage to find a way to piss it all away.  Either shank one at 9 and couldn't get up and down from the bunker, or couldn't get up and down on 11, 12, or 14, or hit a really poor wedge at 16 and couldn't save the par putt.  My best attempt ended up being a 66, after a miracle 30 footer dropped on 4 but a terrible wedge left me with bogey on 16.  Ironically enough that round was with Rocketbladez with a starter ball, and I couldn't even beat it when I was gearing up with R11s and a Srixy or Hex Chrome LoL.
