U.S. Open at Chambers Bay (The Golf Club)

[hikwelity]

Unless you are a huge fan of WGT, there is only one other place to play Chambers Bay along with the pros this week. Search for "U.S. Open - Chambers Bay, WA" in the Tours section of The Golf Club to play 4 rounds and 4 different setups of Chambers Bay. This is currently available for PS4 and PC, and should be for Xbox by tonight.

If you want to practice up, look for Chambers Bay, WA and any version (Thursday-Sunday). Hope everyone enjoys the course, and I look forward to playing and watching this week!

Quick update

Shot -7 in round 1 this morning, and even left a few out there: http://www.twitch.tv/theclv24/c/6845358

This is also now available on Xbox, although I think the naming structure is a little different so the wind won't be the same. Wind in round 1 was around 7 mph or so, if I remember correctly, so not too bad.

Some updates are available here if interested: http://www.hb-studios.com/forum/index.php?topic=11245.0

So is anyone playing this? It seems a little quiet over here for all things TGC related, but I know we got a few players over here. Feel free to jump on this week and give it a whirl. It's a fun course.

I will check this out tonight.

I doubt you will be able to capture the debacle that this course is in terms of the USGA even selecting it for an open.

The videos of guys bouncing a ball on the fairway is enough to make me cringe.

I wonder how many guys quit today if they shoot in the 80s or even pack it in before finishing their round.

I'll be watching the stream at work all day so we will see.

Played the Thursday setup, shot +6 with the Harder Tee shot setting. Really well done on the layout.

Suspended my second round, the Friday setup, but I think after 5 holes I'm even or +1. I'll finish this later today.

Unlike most, I like the course and its nice to see the pros have to think differently out there. Gimmicky, maybe a little. But its entertaining nonetheless.

As long as the USGA doesn't get stupid if a bunch of guy go in the reds, this should be a great tournament.

Finished up round 2 today at E: http://www.twitch.tv/theclv24/c/6853865

One of my worst rounds in quite awhile. So many mistakes that I know better than making. Fell quite a bit behind the leaders, tough day at the US Open.

Posted back to back +6's. For rounds 1 & 2.

I think I finished at -12 or -14 on the PS4....

Re: U.S. Open at Chambers Bay (The Golf Club)

Another tough round 3, with wind in my face going uphill each time. Scratched out a -2, including bogeys on 14 and 15. Was able to get one back with a pretty good birdie on 16, and just held on for a par on 18. Sitting at -9 total, probably 8 or 9 shots back of the leaders.

This is a great job on the course design. TGC should be featuring this one. Really felt like I was playing in the Open. A lot of people are probably missing out on this.

Re: U.S. Open at Chambers Bay (The Golf Club)

I got the full US Open experience shooting rounds of +6, +6, +2 and +4 for a total of +18 over for the tourney.


I would have missed the +9 cut by 3 strokes.

I made a few horrendous putting mistakes each round. Love this game though!
