  I think (i.e. hope) that the British Open course will be seen later than RSG was, to space out the coming of the new courses. Otherwise, it is 2 courses in 2 months and then no full HD stroke courses for 10 months.

  What about the RC course? That would be very nice.

  Just speculating, I have absolutely no idea.

  I retract my childish, petulant comment made a few posts ago. This is a fine fine game and i know alot of work goes into making it better. Am just gagging to get to play another great course...lost my patience a tad....and didnt appreciate the course is still being worked on for everyone's benefit. My apologies.

  Olympic has postage stamp greens which means a lot of fringe putts. Good thing WGT fixed the fringe putting. Very nice looking course.

  Hey all,

  Just looked at Olympic, this year's US Open Gift to WGT. In one man's opinion, it looks a lot like Bethpage, but West Coast. Lots of uphill, pinched fairways and the like. Hopefully it comes in the next week or two, can't wait for another high quality course.

   

  Wow, I don't see much BP in Olympic. This course is going to be tough. Dogleg fairways that slope away from the player. Tiny greens with false fronts and drastic slopes. I, myself, can't see ever playing this course as well as I play BP. Putting on Olympic greens in championship mode may turn out to be more difficult than Oakmont, too.

  The course looks absolutely gorgeous! Quite possibly this is going to be my favourite WGT course. I agree it's probably going to be a tough course to play with all the elevation and diluting greens. Can't wait to play it in full stroke mode in mid-May!

  Agreed. Could this be a glimpse of what it would be like to play Augusta?

  Shame we won't be able to play this new bunker on the course when it is available for stroke play.
