        Sweet! I'll have to play Sunday afternoon. I need to finish my final round and then I'm playing IRL Saturday.

              Very cool idea! I still haven't played my tournament rounds yet. Looks like I have a 5 round weekend ahead of me at least haha

                I just tried to play and gave up. I can't play with these settings. Also, my software did something horrible to me on hole 1 where it showed the green in different places, so I would shoot for it and end up on a tee box. Then get on the green, only to be shown the pin back at the tee box.

                Also, I just can't putt every one. I need the gimmies. I over hit so many close ones in order for skytrak to read the put.

                I love the course, and played well on it before (that was the score Dan was seeing) but just can't do this little tourney. I'll go back to the Spring Tour and finish my last round.

                  Wow that is a beast of a course. Anything over 7200 yards is tough for me, but on top of that every green is elevated and my approach shots seemed to roll forever on those greens. One perfectly struck 6 iron landed short of the green and rolled 22 yards over the back. I had two chip ins and a long putt and couldn't break 80.

                  On a side note I cracked the cover on a ball for the first time in my life. Normally I lose them before that point I suppose. So that made me feel like quite the power hitter haha

                    Finished my +36 round today. That is the round I had issues with hole one, then had issues with the settings. I found the settings were on my end.

                    I just decided to finish it and get to the second round. I recorded my second round using the turn option with ksman. Enjoy! It was a much better round than the first!

                    Also, Check out 35:50, one of the best putts I've ever made on sim!

                      Great putt !! The designer also did a great job on the rail road tracks.

                      I agree. The course was very well done. After watching the final round on TV I felt I needed to finish because it's such a great course and the TGC version is so accurate.

                      I only got to play one round last night. Shot a 91 which is a decent score for me. Really liked the course. After I played I watched Phil and Hendrick battle it out again (taped it) It was awesome to see how acurate the designer recreated the course.
