    Woohoooo, Yippeeee and all that Jazz. 

    First time I broke the 60, Just shot a 58 at Royal St.Georges (posted me score cards on me wall). Two 29's...-8 walking onto 12th tee and me hands started to shake, boy I was nervous something shocking... had to go outside for a couple of smokes and nearly skulled a can of Jim Beam...lol... just to calm down, as I just scrambled a couple of pars.

    Here is to all the people who don't believe low scores can be shot without this so-call rubbish I hear about cheating... the leader at the moment shot a 54...4 shots less than me...  and the only help I got was a white can of Jimmy (or two)...lol. So It can be done!!!!

    Thanks WGT... This still is a great Game!! :)

    Cheers

    Nice round, try not to leave a can imprint on your forehead if your 12 under par going into the 18th hole lol

    lol...thks m8...I know... The little voices were in overdrive inside my head on the 18th, trying to calm me down....lol.

    This is a scary thought.... If i can shoot 58... hate to think what the cut is going to be...hmmm.

    Good round, got me by 1 at this point.

    With tame winds and fairly tame greens, this course can be taken advantage of.  The four par 3's are fairly difficult but the 2 par fives are easy and with a couple of exceptions all the par fours are birdie holes once you know the greens and where to hit it.  I can see someone like BB getting around in 52 before this is over.

    Normally WGT makes the qualifying easy and makes the actual tournament a little tougher in terms of higher winds, faster greens and tougher pins, I assume we will see that in both Opens.  In the case of RSG, the qualifying set up may be a little too easy.

    How true Tarheel, The Heavy winds will make the course a nightmare I think.  Might be Championship Greens too.

    I struggled playing Congressional, lucky to break 70...lol. RSG, Ive shot 63, 58..alot easier.

    I really like the overhead shots of the course. It's one incredible course.

    Have to agree with ya there Rog... it is good.

    The Open comes to my neck of the woods next year... Royal Lytham St Annes.. 

    Will that be on here do you think? Maybe I can grab an aerial tour of the course in the WGT chopper? I'm only 5mins away..hehe

    Its the greens speeds that make these two easier than the last, I could swear that these greens are slower.
