  Great job, WGT. Just posted a 68. That pin position at 10 is mighty dangerous. Anyone take it on? I ducked out and went to the very back of the green and managed a two-putt. 18 is also some hole. Also looking forward to St. Georges next month. Well done.

  I can also see what's coming for the Championship-just like last year-High wind and Champ greens that nobody gets to practice on ahead of time.  Oh boy.....  :-

  Yeah... can you just imagine a L->R wind off the tee @  #4!!!  No way of hitting the fairway....

  Great job WGT.

  Narrow fairways and tricky pin positions. I think I have to get used to the course to shoot a good result. Royal St. Goerge's also looks very good. At least we had moderate wind at Congressional.

  Early prediction of 61 to qualify....

  Agreed, just shot a 63 with the starter balls - would have been a 62 if it weren't for the damn caddy lol...

  Yeah, hit it to 12 feet missed the putt. I have a club that hits 205yds and wind was helping so it seemed like an ok shot to try.

  By the way, there are a lot of drives where it looks like trees are in your way, but they only get in the way of your view not in the way of your ball.

  What a visually stunning course Congressional is, top marks WGT for getting this one on board. Some fantastic holes and pin positions and I'm fairly happy to shoot 65 first time out.

  The only thing I would say is that the greens seemed a bit erratic, the ball was rolling towards the hole in fits and starts for me. Possibly just my internet connection but it did seem unusual.
