  Only 14 out of 18 in the 3rd lol...............not 1 par 5 reachable in 2 shots over 3 rounds......i bet the leaders haven't copped that.....yet another instance where the winds should be the same for everyone to make it an even playing field

  Ditto for me... and one of them was the 275 yard 12th, which NO ONE wants a tail wind on... Well done, WGT.. keep doing the random wind conditions... it's all good... lol

  Quick question... Are the winds random for everyone every round?  If so that is insane.  My first round I encountered consistent 24-32 mph winds in all directions hitting to champion 13 greens .  I figured i would be close with a 68 after that nonsense only to see a 55 posted(?!?)    Can someone fill me in here?  Thanks

  It was a 56, and the vid for the round is in my profile blog if you want to see the winds.

  Indeed he is...and I hope I haven't embarrassed him, but we all know he's a gentleman, is generous with his advice and time, all the while smiling modestly while he annihilates most of us at virtual golf.

  Well, that was exhausting... and about as much fun as a trip to the dentist.  After the gods allowed me to hit something more than a 3 wood for an approach, I actually hit some good shots, getting it inside 7 feet on 9, 10, and 11... unfortunately all had severe slopes and I managed to make 2 pars and a bogey...lol..  33 putts, made nothing longer than 7 feet.  Ouch.  Both par 3's on the back I had 30 mph left to right winds, and you can't be right on either of those... Adding this course to the list of those I will not play in heavy winds... gotta know your limitations!

   

  One highlight was this lipout for DE on 8..
