  i guess thats what they'll do bring us the full 18 of St Andrews a month before the British Open for maximum effect.

  Under the Roadmap features, I see Shot-shaping and stance controls down at the bottom.  This option should be up at the top of the list right under Concede putt in match play.

  I sure do hope St. Andrews lives up to all the hype. Its been quite a while that we've been waiting for a new course. I hope its as great as we all think it'll be

  It isn't. St. Ugly has historic ramifications and I believe that's why it's happening. It's an ugly course. Trees weren't invented when this course came to be. God's been trying to blow it off the map since day 1. They put 2 pins on one green and hope you know which one to shoot at. Hills, valleys and funny named bunkers are the order of the day.

  Before you all crucify me understand I've played that course 100s of times in Links, which had a pretty decent rendition of the course, and it was always the same dull, gray, windy impersonation of a golf course. Compare it to Pinehurst or BPB or any of the CTTH courses and ask yourself which you'd rather enjoy playing and looking at. I, for one, would prefer any of the CTTH courses to this exercise in dreary. JMO.

   

  *My sincerest apologies to the good folks over the big water-I in no way intend to offend you with my opinion.  I realize this is your pride as the root of golf.

  Play the course in real life then try and bash it. It is regarded by so many who have played it as an excellent gof course and is rated in the top 5 in any compliation of top golf courses. So we should take your word, when you haven't even played the course? C'mon now.

  It was stated as strictly my opinion. Why ever would I waste my time and money to play that abysmal place? The TV doesn't lie, the HD graphics don't lie and my eyes don't deceive me. Keep the history, give me the scenic experience. Besides, my mashie and my niblick are gone.
