We travel to Mallorca and Spain - warms us in the mediterranean weather after a cold winter in the north - and play the Open de Espana at Club de Golf Alcanada.
Alcanada is a pretty new course in Mallorca, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr and opened in 2003. It hosted the final on the European Challenge Tour last year.

Played for the first time in this society. Finished R1 in +3 en R2 in +2. I am fairly new with playing with these settings. I missed some short putts, but I have the feeling I am learning quickly. This is so much more fun. Now preparing for the rain in round R3 and R4😉.

This is so much more fun. Now preparing for the rain in round R3 and R4😉. Welcome to the society, glad you're enjoying the ultra sim mode we play here. Also I would like to welcome another new member from the Netherlands also, charles56 and another PC mouse user  . Just in case you guys missed it because the main rules are only on the desktop site I'll post them up below, we self police here so it is a 2 stroke penalty for mistakenly hitting an illegal shot, good luck guys hope you enjoy this mode as much as we all do here. Ultra Sim Experience is an ongoing online competition on PGA Tour 2K21 with the goal of simulating the real game of golf as close as possible. It is multiplatform for PC, PS4 and XBox. 1) No non turn based ghost and ball labels 2) Follow cam must be turned off manually by the member 3) No chipping out of bunkers 4) Splash shot only from sand 5) Swing vibration must be turned off Shot feedback and pin marker turned off is highly recommended for the full sim experience but not mandatory. |

I scored in the 80’s and occasionally in the 90’s in the beginning. And welcome charles56. Have played with your ghost many times, I regard you as an old friend already. 😊 |

This course is absolutely beautiful.
had a string of bad luck on six straight holes, otherwise would've been a very solid R1

Alcanada, another beautiful course by andersnm! R1 I teed it up with nonusehki. A very tight match throughout the round. We ended up tied after R1 at (-2).  I played R2 solo and finished at (-4). I was at (-7) for the tournament then a bogey set me back a shot at #14. I am (-6) at the halfway point.  |

Started well, but then I went down on hole 5. Lost quite some momentum there, and could not take advantage of the par 5's, which is important on this course. Hole 3 was a three putt from 17 feet - just too aggressive on the first putt, and my putter was pretty cold from there.  |

Round 1 and was lucky to be paired with new on (this) tour roggro . I spilled the beans on the other members here, nothing but good of course, and had a nice time. We also discussed the wonderful Palaispark in Apeldoorn. He is a good driver of the ball and putts very well, even if he had some mishaps towards the end. I had a good round on this beautiful course and a sliding 13 footer for eagle on the 1st got me going. But as andersnm said, a mistake can turn the game upside down. Good drives, good irons and descent putting made a 67 and the PC clubhouse lead for now.  |

Third round - and now we are talking! Great round. Putter was on fire - with a 52 feet eagle on the 11th. Very close for a couple more, but can't complain with 100% putts inside 10 feet and the first clean bogey free scorecard so far for me in USE. This was by far the best round I have played this season.  |

Fourth round - and I got trouble on the middle of the front nine. Missed long and right on the 5th, but managed a double this time. But a solid finish, and +3 for the round and total is totaly fine by my standards.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. And wimigbg, I am glad you liked the Paleispark in Apeldoorn, next time we should discuss the title chances of the White Sox this year  . Just played my 3th round in +2. A birdie from the fairway at the 10th was the highlight of my round. Overall quite satisfied. A great course to play, even in the rain. |

Round 2 and had the honor to be paired with the (digital) course architect. He was a gentleman and did not use his knowledge for member bounces. I made the wrong decision on club selection a few times and had to work for par more than necessary. A couple of putts from 15-16 feet dropped at the end to get me a 71. And didn't I see polekatt/josia on the leaderboard sneaking in a 71 as well?  |
