i've blitzed it on the wii a few times but would be grateful of some tips/suggestions from people who have actually walked the fairways

Are you looking for anyone to join you?

conno16

How are you going to manage to get time off school? Are you getting a doctors note or what?

Not sure if you're taking the mick or not with this thread, but if you're near San Diego, you should play Torrey Pines. It's a bit of a trek down from Pebble Beach (7 hour drive!), but it held the US Open in 08 and it's a public course...less than a 100 bucks to play it.

My brother played it and birdied the 7th, but at only 100yards I guess anyone can get lucky. He never felt too inclined to detail the rest of the round though

Biggest tip I can give you is to hire a caddy on the day. Makes a huge difference.

Pebble Beach is a world class course but the experience of playing it is somewhat ruined by 6 hour rounds, an exorbitant green fee, the proximity of housing on the inland holes and an overall feel of commercial priorities coming first.

Torrey Pines is not a world class course.

You want to play Pasatiempo instead.

I'd really hate to have to spend 6hrs out there.......better leave it off so conooo

wouldn't take me 6 hrs

my motto is unload on arrival at the tee box - then watch those yanks take cover under the trees

They could be in trouble so, pebble beach is hardly a forest.

conno16

unless they're hanging around the centre of the fairway they'll be fine.

conno16
