The ultra sim experience tour travels this week to southeast England and Sandwich in the Kent county to play The Open Championship at the Royal St. Georges Golf Club. The Royal St. Georges golf club was founded by the scot and scratch golfer Laidlaw Purves in 1887 after he spotted the land from the vantage point of St. Clements church. The course has been named after the English patron Saint George and is a true links course. In 1894 the course hosted The Open championship for the first time and was the first course outside Scotland to host the championship. It has since hosted The Open on a total of 14 times - more than any course outside Scotland.  The weather forecast for the week: Wind: medium, very high, high, very high Wind direction: north, west, north, east Weather: rain, clear, rain, clear Time: morning, morning, afternoon, afternoon Green speed: medium, fast, medium-fast, very fast Green firmness: moderate, firm, moderate, very firm |

So I uh was extremely frustrated and ready to break everything through my first two rounds after seeing every shot roll down a hill, missing multiple 5 footers and just pretty much everything going wrong to get to -6 through two.
And then the final two rounds came and literally all of that changed and I finished -8, -8 in those to finish at -22 for that tournament. I'm happy with that for these conditions. Good luck everyone!

Good luck everyone! -8 on the final day is an insane score! I thought people would struggle to break par... |

 Didn’t drink copious amounts of red wine tonight, so didn’t post loads of youtube links etc. Sorry ‘bout that. Not a terrible 1st round. Fantastic course. Love the big bunker on 4. |

Sandwich is where it is located, in Kent South East England. It's in Anders write up Yeah, I got that part. I was asking why its called Sandwich. Not asking why they course says that, I was asking why the place its located is called that.
To me, a sandwich is two pieces of bread. Just seems like a strange name for a town, or place.  |

I just googled it.
" The name -wich comes from the Anglo Saxon -wīc, meaning a dwelling or fortified place where trade takes place. The name means "market town on sandy soil"
