Squatch031:So, I assume they are running numerous rounds. So regardless of where one finishes, it is not a "true" standing since it is only for your round/group.
In case of the Royale, a group of 20 fills in a few minutes in peak hours, so I assume there are over 100 different groups playing in the 1st round. Which means, you'll have the same number of final groups in the end. Other 2 showdowns with 100 player groups will likely have less groups in round one and only 25% of the original number of groups in the final. But still, it'd not be a low number 😉
Squatch031: Coincidentally, I ended up playing Royal St. George again in the third round of the finals. However, this time I has 25-30 mph winds as opposed to 10-12 mph the first time. Just goes to show you that conditions are a random draw and not equal for all players.
We established that a long time ago. Mind you, at least you got to play the same pins as everyone else, cause RSG only has 1 set. The pins are also random, so there's quite a difference, if you get, let's say WC #13 long pin in low wind and 8 greens, or short left pin in heavy wind and 13 greens 🤦
