  I think both the u.s open Qualifiers are both setup for only one person to win. Someone has to much time on there hands and has nothing better to due but sit on here all day and give no one else a chance to win. Pretty good same guy leading both! Sounds like someone that helped set up the course to me so he can win. Totally unfair. FYI dont join the tourney no since in playing against someone that helps the admin of the site and wins everything.

  No, they are set up so that the best player wins. Why would the best player 'give someone else a chance to win'? He is competing and he wants to win. If you want to win, you have your chance, too. As far as 'sitting here all day', rounds at or near the very top were posted within a few hours of the courses going online.

  Royal St. George is a beautiful course, but out of the range of my skill level

  Great Course. I have played only one round there and it tested every club in my bag. I can not say I passed the test, but I sure will have fun as I keep trying. There is nothing like playing a new course for the first time and seeing what the ball is going to do.

  I for one, am a satisfied customer and have not hit or found any "really large bugs lurking in the fairways". Yet.

  Good luck to all there and have a nice day.

  Thank you WGT for making the playing conditions bearable at Congressional and Royal St George.  Unlike the nightmare when Oakmont opened up.

  I have played a few rounds at RSG, and in viewing the course from the various tower cameras, it appears as though this course might have once been an RAF bombing range.

  Tresclub:

  LOL...good point Warren.

  I've hit some good drives that went sideways off a mound or stopped dead hitting a bank.

  YankeeJim taught me a long time ago to look at the middle camera and pick out a landing spot in advance of a drive on the really  "bombed out" landing areas....I thot it was a pretty good tip.

  Correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Magic, my take on this would be after every shot look at the replay.

  The reason I am asking is because plain and simple I didn't know there are different angles you can view before your shot.

  I click on zoom and thats it, so what am I doing wrong?

  Just asking a simple ? and hope I don't catch heck.
