        That was an interesting tournament. Had a bogey-free 84 in the first round (only four holes over par). On one hole I ended up INSIDE one of the logs that was on the edge of the water in front of the green. I couldn't hit out of it and had to concede for an 11. The second round started rough and then somehow I played the last 11 holes at 2 under. Oh well, there's always next week.

          Couldn't take an "unplayable" instead of conceding?

          I couldn't tell if it was inside the log or in front of it from the camera view so I tried hitting it once. I tried unplayable after that but it just lets you go back to the previous spot, which was still in the log. In hindsight I should have taken the unplayable before trying to hit it, but then if I could have played it that would have cost me two shots on an already bad hole.

          Knife in the heart wbond ! Was hoping my net was going to hold up. Congrats on a killer round. 64 is ridiculous!

            Thanks, that is the lowest i have ever shot on the sim. I finally had a round where it all came together. It's been quite a frustrating run of sim golf since the summer tour. I just could not get anything working together and couldn't get any putts to fall. With most of the holes being flat around the green this week, it really makes it much easier. I've only got the token 20 "thanks for playing this week" points in all the 16/17 tour events so far. Now my HDCP will take a big plunge next week.

              Wow! Nice scores by the top 4. You don't see the net and the gross board so close very often. I found the greens to be very easy if you can put your approach close. I was actually disappointed in a 74. It's a good course for the tour. It may play a little better if it were longer. Except for the greens surrounded by water..... they are long enough. Hole 16 makes me very nervous. We played a longer version of this course before but the scores weren't this low. I think that 64 may be a record...... we should keep track of these things. Yeah...... shooting a 64 may lower your handicap.

                      enjoyed the course a lot. Day 1 really messed up hole 7...triple. Did much better on round 2, but hole 16 got me...10 on a par 3. Oh well, it was fun going down the stretch with a chance to place, but perhaps next week.

                        much like tiger, i've made my Ali like return to the ring this weekend! :-) missed 7 & 8 footers and left a couple chips on the lip...also got pretty lucky on a few shots, like a complete shank 7-iron tee shot on 16 that didn't register...ended up chipping in for birdie soon after

                          I started out with a triple. Missed 2 putts on the lip for pars. Eagled #5 with a chip in 19 yarder. Hit so many trees that I could not find my way and still came home at +15. That was a tiring round.

                          This course is not that hard but I could not hit the ball. I am still making swing changes that are improving things but I am more erratic.

                          Tomorrow will be better.

                            Great course, is it me or is Lunenberg the first course that I have played that actually has some flat putting areas around the flag.? ? Don't ever remember having a 10-15 footer that is actually straight.

                              How do you get your handicaps in the online play? I played enough rounds to have it calculated within TGC?
