    Little tip for masters, the water short of the green on 1 is driveable, hit a pure one down wind 20mph, thing kept rolling, then disapeared, then in the water, 334yds.

    My first impression is that the fairways and greens are insanely undulating and fast. The fairways had huge amounts of roll and I could hit it 250+ yards using a 225 yard driver, but the real "fun" begins on your approach shot. Once my ball landed very close to the hole, only to roll 60 feet away and I ended up with a 3-putt bogey. The greens are even faster and trickier than Kiawah Island, but overall, I think this is a great installment, since it's better than playing 2 courses over and over again. For my very first round, I shot a 36 with bogeys on 2 and 7, and birdies on 5 and 9. Also, on Hole 7, there's no place to land the ball if your drive is less than 225 yards. The only fairway exists at that distance is the extremely narrow strip towards the left.

    I would love to know how to do a screen shot, just shot 29 and would have loved to have been able to have saved it :^(

    Here's what was ALMOST a perfect shot on St. Andrews. The putt was an adventure. LOL  2 ft uphill climb and wiggled like a snake.  2 putted for par. I love this course for the absolute fun!!!

     Turned on this morning, had to have a go. 1st game,ranked of course, pars on 1 and 7(think 7 is the par 3), 7birds, found the fukcue(lol) for a not too shabby 29.

     Glad most of my putts were only a few yards cause the greens look like the moon lol.

    Can't match that , but had a 78 foot putt for a birdie on 9. Unbelievably straight in putt.

    Had a 30 including an eagle my second time out on St. Andrews.
