Great work Tyler! I still have one round left though, I'm sure I can shoot 40 under to take the win.

That was a fun last round !
The pin was at the front of the 9th green for me, half way down the slope ! I'm surprised that the hole doesn't slide down off the front of the green !
I never actually managed to keep the ball on the green. Chipped up to the pin & ran off the green; putted back up to the pin & ran back off the green. Managed to hole out from off
the green. Thought I was going to be there all night !

No way that hole would be cut there in real life, needs to be re-positioned for realism, after all that's the aim of the Optishot, isn't it ? It's not an arcade game. Some of the flag positions actually detract from what is an outstanding golf course.

Here's the highlight for your amusement ! http://www.twitch.tv/ianhoggard1955/c/6177420

That's unreal!

I hear ya Ian. Until we have the ability to set our own pin positions, I will definitely not buy this course.

[IAN.HOGGARD]

It's a shame because this is a classic course. I'm sure they must be able to change the pin locations.

[braycobb]

I wish I had the recording of my practice round last night. I had a similar pin location and proceeded to putt 4 times and watch it come back to me. I finally drained it from about 20 feet.

[braycobb]

By the way, in round 2 I had a back left pin. The hole played completely different and much easier.

[IAN.HOGGARD]

That front pin needs moving to the top of the slope so that a shot near the flag stops, but anything short runs back.

I had pretty much the same pin placement on the 9th hole in Round 3 that you did...ridiculous! Let's just say I had 3 different opportunities to up and down it on that hole alone!

Well that sucks. They closed the course down. Can't enter to play 3 round. Hey john I felt like a had a 10 under round in me today. So just go ahead and put that in. Lol

[scottyb]

Guess the 11pm Sunday was not EST. Sorry i didnt complete, I also felt 10 under was possible for me.

Here goes Round 2

[Randyrn]

I quit after way to many mis reads and a 12 on 9 with a 9 put 30 inches on my fourth shot brutal

[Randyrn]

Going to recalibrate in the am and clean cencers too on Optishot

[sliceomatic]

I was trying to figure out the whole webcam thing so mine got broken into a few different videos. Definitely see some things that need improvement in the swing.
