Couldn't find the thread for this so you'll have to make do with my quick summary; Every now and then a course comes along in the game that makes you sit up and think wow! how on earth have they achieved that as a designer, I spent a good 30 minutes just exploring the plot and meticulously examining the planting to see how this was achieved. I'd say this course reminds me heavily of Whistling Straits although a little wilder as the name would suggest, perhaps a Bandon Dunes would also be similar. You won't see any other golfers here as the course winds privately through nature where it'll just be you and the constant battle of avoiding red fasts and slows. Enjoy your week folks!

At first glance the Lost Preserve looked easy with huge fairways and greens. It sure fooled me lol.

Probably my best ever putt. 76ft with 1ft downhill and huge break. Was going past the hole a touch, but basically nailed the weight as well as the break. (And, for once, a nice camera angle!)

Definitely finding the new swing a challenge. Seems to be adding extra pressure to my putts! (Due to avg putt length being slightly longer.) Also still adjusting to a controller that doesn't have an offset stick!
Overall, I think I prefer the new swing physics. It's more realistic and challenging. It's also taken away my creativity/imagination and strategy on a lot of shots though, I must say.
I know we have the shot shaper, but being able to add 5yd to a shot meant I was shaping and adding/subtracting on a lot of shots and it's more "fun" that way, arguably. Every shot just feels like a back and forward straight shot now. Bit repetitive.
I think some find that (adding yardage and shaping) "unrealistic," but it didn't feel that way to me. Maybe "too easy," I don't know.
But yeah, overall, I welcome the new challenge. I'm hovering around +1 to +4 at the moment.

Made a sluggish start to round 2 & this is a tough course to recover on so not too unhappy.Really enjoyed the course 👍
