    On the title of this thread I had my own experience. Yesterday I was listed as ineligible to play in the tournament but today I could enter, which I did.

    I wanted to find out what the green and wind conditions were so I went to the only link to the tourney,  the Play Now button. I thought I would get to the tourney board and see the conditions. The next thing I know I'm on the tee, ready to play. OIY!  Wrong clubs in the bag, wrong ball and ice cold. To make matters worse I didn't bother to check the tees (assumed it was blue) and it took 3 holes and a lost ball to realize that the WHITE tees were in play.( I couldn't figure out why I was crushing the ball way past where I expected.) DOH! My bad for assuming anything. I learned a costly lesson that landed me in 18th place (so far). Know the conditions before you start...........

    Is this just a miss on the tourney board or will the conditions be a secret until you tee off? That would be kinda weird but I suppose you could make an argument for doing it that way if you wanted to prevent practicing under tournament conditions.

    Having played round 1 the Play Now button turns into a practice button. The course conditions are different for the practice round. Are they the conditions for the 2nd round?

    I really like the whole idea and it's well worth the 100 credits. I was just caught totally by surprise looking for the conditions and exacerbated it by being dumb. WGT would you please make these available before we tee off?

    TY'

    You got caught by the white tees too? Cost me several strokes on the first few holes as well, especially #2 where u can't hit driver with the wind or you lose the ball.

    After 2 I finally notice the white tee markers - DOH!
