    Lol Icon

    I can see that now, but from the tee it looked like a path, and it's not even deep enough to cover my shoe. I buy a sleeve of balls a day, stealing it was a bit on the harsh side hehehehe

    Hopefully i'll bounce off a rock and roll into the cup for a great ace next time

    Can any one do better than this drive LOL (lucky, thought it was OOB)

    so do you intentionally shoot over there now?

    Having played the  Front9 Cabo R/Go for awhile now and I'm doing pretty good on it, except for the last couple, I'm now nearly bald from ripping my hair out....lol

    Here is my take on it sofar...

    Ist hole... you can 3 putt from 5ft away quite easy... get a par on it then it's a good start.

    2nd hole.. should be a Bird

    3rd hole.. good judged drive and putting for eagle, but an easy bird.

    4th hole.. can be an easy hole to get on in 2 shots and putting for eagle, or easy bird.

    5th, 6th, 7th all birds

    8th hole... still scrambling for par on this...don't know why...lol.

    9th hole can be a bird too.

    so if all goes to plan ... end up with -9 or better... yeah right..lol... but it can be done.

    If ya can Birdie the 1st hole, it sets ya up for the next 3 holes and after the first 4, you can have a really good round cooking.... 

    well that's the theory, harder said than done...lol.

    Cheers

    it plays much the same as all the other courses on WGT

    @ Zag,

    Yeh - it does play easier, no doubt about that. I was actually referring to the overall physics of the game - playability if you like.

    Wait till they up the wind speed, and change the green speeds - then we'll see how easy it is eh ?

    Cheers

    Playing the Cabo 18 hole ready-go.. and the 'tourney' greens are lighting fast.. 3 power lip-outs in the first 4 holes, on putts that I actually thought I didn't hit hard enough... WGT mucking with the putting algorithm again.. thank you!

    Nice pin position on 18, btw....  I hit it 8 feet behind the hole, hit what I thought was a good putt, and before I knew it I was 20 feet away... next putt.. 20 feet with 9 inches of slope.. hit it 3 feet past... next putt, 3 feet with 4 inch drop...  violent lipout, and I"m 15 feet away... 

    So after 3 putts, I'm 7 feet farther away than when I started.. and I don't suck at this game..  Another hole that is only missing a windmill... Needless to say, WD from the RG for me.. SUCK IT WGT

    You have to be below the hole on the 18th, 20 ft away below the hole is better than 6ft past it.. or ya big trouble. as you said.

     

    If I put all my rounds together then I would get to thinking that one day, somebody will shoot a -12 on the front 9 at cabo. If it hasn't been done already. Bird, Eagle, Eagle, Eagle and ya -7 after 4 holes...lol... bit of luck and ya laughing
