I think it's the par 5 16 but maybe the 15th also. The 16th hole is a much easier shot to aim for the adjecent fairway on the left especially in a crosswind. Takes the challenge out of the tee shot and the bunker on the left out of play, what we are looking for is a realistic challenge especially as the driver is more forgiving than it should be imo. Yeah, I noticed the 16th too, but I've never driven there, and neither did my ghost opponent. On the 15th, you can drive much more safely to the right, although I didn't think the next shot was any/much safer, and so it proved! Same with my opponent who hit his second in the water ironically. |

Not trying to take the higher ground as this is more about realism for me than the rules of golf, let's embrace the challenge rather than take short cuts or the easier option and play the hole as it was designed to be played.

Just to be clear, finally, I questioned it, and was fine with learning it's not against rules 👍 The "play it as it was designed" point is by far my biggest reason. |

overall, didn't do that badly if you take away round 3.
R1 was great. R2 was mediocre. R3, I just flat out didn't want to play. my buds were all playing wreckfest, and I wanted to join them, but knew I had to get the round in due to lack of time, so I forced everything and was playing to fast. As a result, almost every shot was fast and with the winds, it did not go well at all. R4, much more relaxed, and played great, a lot like R1- only trouble was when I hit water with bad bounces.
I really liked this course though. Shame that timing messed up round 3 for me.

Just finished. These greens were tough! Played well, but did miss many birdie putts. Some of my reads were just terrible and not even close lol. I think I only had one bogey though, came extremely close to the water a few times. Used a new bag this week swapping out a few clubs, had to find a way to get the 4 iron in there. I get burned so many times in this by not having it. Having no 2 wood though kinda sucks...we’ll see. Seemed to work out well this week at least.  |

I’m no hieroglyphics expert, but I think what’s being communicated here is. Pic 1 - Started my round poorly so... Pic 2 - Went and got some wine to make it better Pic 3 - Got drunk and forgot what I was doing so played some online poker. Pic 4 - Poorly... How’d I go al? 👍🍷 |
