        Just bought the course tonight & played my 1st practice round. This is a well designed course. Need to be straight off the tee & fairways narrow down for the longer hitters.

        Nice greens too. SHOULD BE A FUN TOURNAMENT !

                    Is this the same course Optishot will put up for free this weekend?

                      No I dont think so, this week is the Honda Classic at Palm Beach Gardens I think, so not sure what theyre gonna do as dont think thats on Optishot

                      With Dancing Dogs recent announcement to offer a free lifetime subscription for playing Optishot Live the Week of the current PGA Event, they are keeping up:


                      Whether they will add it like they did for Riviera Im not sure either

                        Thank's John. Time to place an order then
                        It seems to be a nice course so I would probably have bought it anyway.

                        This is why Optishot should officially promote our community. Lot's of people buying the courses just to be able to participate in the tour.

                          Exactly what I told them, and also that its be good if they could either promote or even just offer a single course discount code as a tournament prize, especially as theyre getting maybe 10 - 15 downloads purely as a result of the tour. Also asked if they wanted to join this forum so they could get some feedback from players etc, but don't seem too interested. Think they've got their own thing planned long term though so I guess wouldn't want to promote something else

                          I just downloaded and played first 2 holes, very tight, but really like it formt he little ive played, reminds me more of UK courses, and I like right on the coat in Norfolk UK, so feel very much at home

                          Should be a very interesting event.. looking forward to it

                            I think you nailed it John....I'm betting Optishot has their own thing planned for tournament play.

                              Yeah, that might just be the thing. Will be interesting to see what (if) they come up with.
                              It will need to be great to compete with our thing here though
