Paul, I think I just joined this tour although it says it is a weekly 4 day tour. Did I join the wrong tour?

Paul, I think I just joined this tour although it says it is a weekly 4 day tour. Did I join the wrong tour? Maybe you joined Simulation Tour Art which is a 4 day weekly legend sim tour. Not sure how long Craig will keep it up on Xbox but it's not cross platform anymore. This tour is taking over from TRUE SIM: USE Master Tour but will be legend swing difficulty and 8 week seasons with week 8 being a major with 50% more points up for grabs. Just look for TRUE SIM:The Legend Tour, 1st event starts in under 2 hours. |

Love this course. It isn't being very nice to me though. |

I hit an 8 on the par 5 hole 6, both drives were inside the wall so really shouldn't have been out of bounds. An 8 actually wasn't a bad score considering I was playing 5 off the tee.
Hole 12 another par 5 I just made a complete mess of and hit a 10. So 8 over for those 2 holes. Played the other 16 holes 3 under so it could of been worse. But I played well just some poor aiming killed me.
Will play round 2 tomorrow and hopefully play those 2 holes better 😧

Man that course was stressful. Only managed to hit about 50% of fairways and greens but kept it in bounds with some adventures. Ground out -6 for the tournament and pretty happy with that as I didn’t have any blowup holes. Such a different way of playing but I love the challenge!

After bad shot management in round 1 on 2 par 5's destroyed my score by dropping 8 strokes , happy to say I played much better in round 2. Holed a peach of a putt on hole 4 to get the round going.

County Cork Links InvitationalA true test of golf endurance at the beautiful Old Head Kinsale in County Cork. Week 1 is won by Hendomedes an Irishman from north of the border with a superb -9, just a single stroke better than MR LONGPOLEx. Palutena came in 3rd on -7 (with the lowest 2nd round a superb 67) and OrsoGrande 4th on -6. Just 3 strokes separating the top 4. Some struggles out on what was a brutal course if your game is not firing on all cylinders but always respect is earned by those that finish. Low round goes to the Champion Hendemedes with a superb 65 in round 1.

British Masters
Week 2 we head to another superb RCR by Jay Johnson, a very talented designer on this game.
Sunningdale’s Old Course was designed by twice winner of The Open Championship, Willie Park Junior and opened in 1901. The land on which it was constructed belonged to St. John’s College, Cambridge and mainly consisted of heather, gorse and pine trees. There were no shops, no railway station, and no Ridgemount Road, merely a bridle path over the property running, as it still does, across the 2nd of the Old and continuing across to the 9th green of the New Course Willie Park Junior, was consulted and tasked with designing a course of exemplary character, for the price of £3000. It opened for play on 23rd September 1901 to universal acclaim and was among the first successful courses located away from the coast, as many had believed turf would not grow well in such regions. The Course was considered extremely long and its popularity owed much to the development of the Haskell ball. Park Jnr was an excellent putter and this is reflected in his design, with many large undulating greens that utilise the natural topography, the Old Course greens can often catch many by surprise. Diagonal and visual hazards, were favoured by Park Jnr and examples of these can be seen across the course, with cross bunkers, ditches and heather banks framing many holes. Credit to Park Jnr’s design, The Old Course has stood the test of time, and even now with the advance of modern technology, the course can be challenging to even the longest of hitters. Whilst in his post as Secretary, Harry Colt contributed to the layout and made some thoughtful changes to Park Jnr’s design, notably moving the 4th, 7th & 12th greens to where they are still to this day. Bobby Jones had great fondness for the Old Course. In 1926 during qualifying for The Open Championship (which he went onto win at Royal Lytham and St. Annes) Jones shot 66-68. Regarded for many years as the ‘perfect round’ the 66 consisted of 33 shots, 33 putts and no hole was played in more than four and on ten holes, the shot to the green was played with a two iron or wood. Jones said afterwards: “I wish I could take this course home with me.” Many further amateur and professional events have been played across the Old Course including the News of the World Professional Match Play, The European Open, Ladies Open Championship, The Walker Cup, The Open Championship International Final Qualifying, The Senior Open Championship and in 2024 it will host The Curtis Cup. The Old Course is today considered one of the greatest courses in the World and is regularly found in the top 30 of the world’s rankings.
