  In my first go around, I threw up a 123.  Not too bad when I had 45 of that on 1 hole.  I will say I do not look forward to playing that course since there is so much water in critical areas.  I might have to play it with the unlimited balls. :)

  I am sick to the back teeth being fobbed off with this closest to the hole rubbish,we need some new Stroke play courses before we all die of boredom.

  BOXALL:

  Only a few weeks to go to the Virtual US open

  May 11 to be exact and after seeing the preview of coming attractions I'm betting it will take 62 to qualify this year.  You just know the greens are going to be insane on top of those strategic water traps.I think each course WGT puts out gets finer and finer with the details and Congressional should be a total knockout. The pictures alone seem to be sharper and brighter.

  Something to look forward to-I did this in Links with Augusta and the Masters-follow the actual US Open hole by hole alongside whomever they'll be following. If the US Open coverage online is anything like the Masters was you're going to go cross-eyed trying to keep your screens straight because of the HD looks. LOL-can't wait.  :-)

  Actually I believe May 11th is when they start the backside CTTH challenge. The full stroke play won't open up until June 1st just like last year with Oakmont., Just in time for the Virtual open qualifying.

  Not according to the news.......

  ".... You will get a sneak-peek of the course to help prepare you for the Virtual U.S. Open stroke play qualifying round on the full course beginning in May."

  hmmm.....

  when you're clicking to play the ctth....underneath it says "virtual us open coming 11th may"....now here's the rub....i just logged into wgt and the congressional pop up says..."Get ready for the U.S. Open on Congressional Country Club. Front 9 skills challenge now available. Full course in June!".....so it's anyone's guess but either way...it'll be here before christmas.
