  LMAO. And crying about a 57!  Poooooor boopie.  :-D

  He may be crying at a 57 but those headwinds took away the chance of a 53. 53 looks like it's going to win that RG and the 6000cr prize. 57 is going to struggle to break even. Seems a bit unfair that 53 was never going to be realistically possible.

  I get what he's saying but I could have had a 52 and didn't have any eagle opportunities.. 16 birdies for a 54... something weird on #8 somehow left my putt short.. And then barely miss a chip in on 12

  I will agree though, I never get a farking tail wind on chambers bay #8 ticks me off lol

  Really helps to have that putter on to win those big ones...

  Wonder how the tour pros can tolerate the wind differences, morning to afternoon?

  On tour the wind evens out. For example, when the pros play the open at St Andrews, the morning starters could get tailwinds on the front 9. But when they make the turn for the back 9 they'll have all headwinds coming back. If the wind was to change for the afternoon starters then it's headwinds on the front 9 but then tailwinds on the back 9. It's possible for someone here to get 18 headwinds just like it's possible to get 18 tailwinds. I guarantee the player with the tailwinds is going to shoot at least 6 shots better.

  Well this depends...sometimes it works for you and sometimes against you.  Just like here in WGTland....

  I never complain about a miss ding that goes in...

  only about the dinged hits that go awry.

  What i'm saying is that in the pro game you will never get every hole in to a headwind. 1 hole tends to go 1 way and 1 back the other way. Also pro's are not competing against 18 birdies. Here we are. If 4 holes during the round are not reachable then 18 birdies is not realistically possible.

  Sorry, This has nothing to do with your post. But, I cannot access game play at the moment. I rented a couple of clubs to try, but didn't bother. And now when I try to play I get a box coming up telling me to re-select my clubs. I do that and nothing happens. I can't get it sorted. Can some one please help.

  Yes this site is a  joke anymore. I watch one or two video credits for a minute and half to three minutes like i used too. And I can never accumulate the credits anymore like i used to be able too. I think w.g.t or top golf has that crap blocked now or stopped paying those companies so now they wont even give people their credits anymore for watching their videos what a joke. I do have 30 balls in stock but I was trying to stock up free credits so I don't have to spend more money in the long run,

  LOL!
