Wow, the Elite 8 and Final 4 matchups were certainly some exciting matchups with phenomenal courses to play! I hope everyone has enjoyed working through these superb designs, and ALL of the designers should be proud of what they've accomplished. As for the Bracket Challenge on Challonge, the top three going into the finals are: mayday_golf83 with 51 points, staypuft39 with 44 points, and ErixonStone with 43 points. In a hilarious burst of irony, ErixonStone has mrooola winning the championship, so his bracket would turn out great if that happened, but his course would lose. Furthermore, if his course were to win, that would send @griff 's $50 straight to mayday_golf83 , since he has Bearded Pelican Golf Club selected. Amazing how that all turned out! Be sure to tune in to TGCT AfterDark on Wednesday to hear the results! Final 4 Matchups:titaneddie (Stagfall C.C.) vs. ErixonStone (Bearded Pelican Golf Club) mrooola (The Dusty Lion Club (East)) vs. Crazycanuck1985 (Burrowing Owl Golf Club) The Finals!mrooola (The Dusty Lion Club (East)) vs. ErixonStone (Bearded Pelican Golf Club)

If Dusty Lion wins, Patrick gets the $$, but I can say I bowed out to the course that won it all. I'd say that's a win-win for both of us.

Is there a west course to play at the pelican beard? No but there is a West course on the Dusty Lion. I don't know where others get their names, but I always use song titles. Not always great golf course names, but always great songs

Is there a west course to play at the pelican beard? Bearded Pelican comes from this: I created a links-style course using the Tropical theme. I decided that might be something you would see in a British Colony in the Caribbean. It turns out that Barbados fits that description and the topography roughly matches the topography of the course (limited number of palm trees, rocky shoreline). After minutes of intense research (Wikipedia) I learned that the country name Barbados stemmed from the original Portuguese and Spanish settlers, and means, "The Bearded Ones". The Pelican is the national bird of Barbados, which is perfect; it's a sea bird. The original working title was Shillelagh Cam which roughly translates to crooked club, but after switching the theme from Highlands, giving the course an Irish name seemed a bit silly. The later working title was Palm Highlands, but that name lacked any punch.

Well the name also refers to the unfortunate presence of poop on the underside of a scrotum........which could also describe my play on the front 9 here earlier today. Nice course though.

I'd say that's a win-win for both of us. I am in a very enviable position. Many thanks to the disemvoweled one, VctryLnSprts, for running the predictions challenge.

mrooola wins the contest with his Dusty Lion Club (East) design! Congratulations! ErixonStone wins the Bracket Challenge pool and will be looking forward to that generous $50 payday from @griff. Patrick definitely had a solid event, with a tough battle in the finals with his course design (Bearded Pelican Golf Club) and then correctly predicting that Dusty Lion Club (East) would win the bracket. Pretty good performance I'd say!
