I enjoyed my first 'competitive' game with you both. Thanks for the patience you showed me :)
It bugs me how 'wrong' you can be, getting out of a bunker and up the side of a raised green, :eyebrow: but we live and learn.
Look forward to the next session.

Good 9 holes on St Andrews with you last night!  Not bag scores!

It's U.S. Open time on WGT.com!!! :woot2:
http://www.wgt.com/tournaments/details.aspx?name=Virtual_US_Open_Qualifying_Round&ID=c6de7394-3aa2-4b98-abb3-9ee100a6e9ef

I expect to see a score posted in Qualifying from our regular swingers!!!

It will be an achievement if one of us gets through to the competition proper, the cut is set at 64 for Master level that is, not sure about the other levels but I'm sure competition will be fierce.

But you have a month of Unlimited play on the new course Congressional, to achieve that score so let's be havin' ya!!

All I'll say is that a 208yd Par 3 10th hole into a 6mph wind and with the cup some 27 feet below the tee, does not justify taking a 3 iron instead of a 2H wood to get over the lake.  My ball almost got dry.  Almost by about 3 feet, then sunk.  Grrr.   Was -1 until that point but rescued it with a bogey so am level par at 11.  I'll let you know how I get on!

Well, it's over.  Tough course, so easy to almost make an automatic +1 by missing a fairway (30-40% rough) or by mis-judging putt strength (Tournament green speed is way up on the ole stimp'o'meter).

Out in a one under par 35.  Bogied 2 and then recovered with birdies on 4 and 8.
Back in a one under par 34 with a very up and down back nine:  bogies on 10, 12 & 18 (missed the putt from 4ft by a whisker) and birdied 11,13,16 & 17.

Final score: 69 for a two under par round and a mere 568th on the Leader board :roflmao:.   How the leaders are down at 56 is beyond me :confused:

Very happy with that, had to spend a chunk of time calculating putt strength.  The course is a little long though for a lil'ole Tour Pro rank player like me; there's a couple of holes I cannot reach in regulation even with perfect shots :sad:

How did you do Albert?

I had a 78 :(. I was level at the turn, -1 after 10 then I lost a ball in water and then my mind went and I was playing for XP points after that!

Trying again.

Level par after 9, some long putts holed to make it this far, was 3+ after 4! Hit the bunker on 10, all the water put me right off! Back to +1 :( Then a monster drive and a perfect 3 Wood to leave 2 yds and a sunk birdie putt on the massive 507 yrd par 4 11th! Level again. Only the 3rd par of the round holed at 12! Woefull double at 14.( ~@%$)

Final score +3, 4 stroke improvement, very hard this course.

WGT.com are going for it this month, CTTH up for the front 9 of Sandwich!!

Hopefully they'll put out the full 18 soon :)

I think this was to show EA Tiger Woods 2012 which had August on it, that having the course isn't the only thing the pubic want, they want the tourney as well!

190.3 first attempt.

Plain & simple:  that's an animal of a course.  My hat off to Royal St George, but I'd love to know how in hell to stop the ball on the 9th :roflmao:
