Episode Notes

Key notes: 

Pros: 

• love the mic'd up players, although we are getting interactions more from who we would expect than others. Tiger was rigid in the beginning but loosened up after his team was all but put to bed for sure. 
• The extreme golf courses on the sim.  I am glad this isn't the same old stuff in real life.  I like the idea of fantasy style courses that are hard to play. 
• The tech is awesome, and the greens are a show stopper. 
• Fans and atmosphere looks very cool 

Cons:

• The scoring, Match play doesn't work for this. At least so far it hasn't.  Both games are blowouts.  Should be a stable ford setup or something different. 
• It's not as engaging as it could be. Maybe because the drama has been low. But I think a single announcer and no in field announcers hurts. 
• Courses need to be harder, need to challenge the players more.
