The Masters

I stunk it up all over the place Tuesday..

First of all was it me or was Firestone playing like very hard greens? It said slow greens but not one of my shots came back at all..then sine I didn't adjust, I don't think I had 1 good approach shot the whole round. Every putt I had was not easy..I ended up -12 and could have been much worse. I should have played this course like it was very hard greens after the first 3 holes but didn't..I kept thinking it would becomes slow at some point..very disapointing round...extreme was nothing better..misjudged the wind the whole round to end -4.

Then went and played a best ball match for $5k and lost that by a stroke...tough night!!

I guess today's tour pro is Pinehurst? What's up with that? We just had this course last week and I know we haven't gone through all the courses yet..most likely I will sit this one out as I hate Pinehurst!

Thanks Pish i feel better now. I should have posted, i pulled a cccskywalker move and turned it off. I was sitting -13 through 16 and was so mad i couldnt see straight. I absolutely cant stand pine or firestone. It played very difficult on the front 9. I think i was -5 at the turn . Funny thing is the wind wasnt bad i was just off on every shot.

BTW great round Dave saw you at -17 sitting 4th. Very nice buddy.

greens were slow speed, but very hard was the hardness for sure...i noticed that on the first hole when my wedge didnt come back and actually slid forward a little bit when it landed...i really wish ea could find a way to give us the green hardness as well as the green speed...i seem to notice this difference in the dailys quite a bit how the hardness doesnt always match up with the speed...lots of times greens will be very fast but they will be average hardness or they'll be average green speed and very hard as hardness...it would be nice to know before the round or at least have it be part of the start menu when ur in the game...

Absolutely we should be able to know what the green hardness is..shouldn't be a secret. That being said, I could have adjusted my game and played it like very hard..I didn't though because I thought maybe it would resort back to slow greens like it was suppossed to be. Next time, if I see this happen, I need to adjust and not worry about what the information says it's suppossed to be!!

watch out though when your doing this as the green hardness really only matter with the way the ball reacts on the green on approach shots...when it comes to putting, i think the green speed is the only thing that matters....so when ur playing approach, think very fast and when ur putting, think slow

No wonder I never beat you, you never post all of those bad scores of yours.

Great job Oblong!!! You and Dave doing outstanding!!

I love these new single try tournies...should you put an asteriks next to all the multi try scores? Seems like the steroid error!

I haven't played the daily open in weeks..seems so cheap compared to the single tries!! Good stuff to the DEVS for listening!! Now if we can only take Pinehurst and Predator out of the rotation!

Very Nice Job Oblong.

sorry cocarr but i quit in the middle of another round today...in the extreme i missed the line 3 times long and went off the green every time...ended up just hittin the ball around for fun and took a couple triple bogeys then quit

went to play the tour one at pinehurst...1 hole out...1 mess up going to 17...then missed an 8 foot putt...ended up tying the great kali's top round of -19 and saw i got 2nd in the tie breaker and went to check it out and we have the same tie breaker score but hes in 1st still...someone please post a -20 so that doesnt ruin my night!

I guess I undersold myself a bit yesterday. Actually had a -15 (not -14 as reported) at Pinehurst 1-try Tour Pro yesterday and it proved to be enough to get me my 7th tourney win. Tiebreaker was my friend.

That's 2 tournaments I've won where I had 2 bogey's in each round. Guess I do better when the going is tough.
