As long as constructive criticism isn't taken as an invitation to play the "I'm doing this all myself" or "I don't see YOUR tournament" then I think we should be good to go Just keep the fantasy courses out of it....stick with traditional themed courses and RCR's I'll also be on Holidays in May and June...but I should still be able to get the rounds in Anyone in this world who can't handle constructive criticism is mentally soft. Saying the course sucks and I hate it isn't constructive unless you provide some valid reasons. I'm about respect. Respect me and others and all will be grand! Define fantasy courses? I absolutely will choose a non-RCR, well thought out track. I may even throw in a unique track that isn't traditional in the golf sense but still fun to play. What you will NOT see is what I like to call "pinball golf" tracks. Tracks where you can hit 550 yards off the tee or down/upslopes of a quarter mile. I appreciate your interest and your comments. By fantasy course I mean the ones where you feel like your avatar should be Crash Bandicoot and there are A LOT in the database like that

Close to 40 now. Would really like to get a few alternates in the mix but we shall see. I'll be closing this recruiting thread probably in a week, then start my work in getting this up and running, hopefully by May 1st.

Ok. I have to ask the question. Why is picking "good enough courses for me" a thing? Hell, you could throw in a mini putt from Mars course and I'd be fine with it and actually pleasantly surprised because we all play the same tracks. The truth of the matter is this is a video game. Probably my favorite video game of all time but it's still a video game. Will there be an esports competitive league soon? Probably. I bet hb studios is hedging a huge bet on it. But for now, who cares? So you 4 putted a green that you deemed unfair. Guess what! We had to putt it too! Say there was a golden par three where if you land it right you will ace it, and I hit the bunker and got a bogey. I screwed up! Who cares! If your hat hangs on your performance in this game, more power to you, but if you do this for fun like I do, try having fun. I am stepping off my soap box, and burning it.

If your hat hangs on your performance in this game, more power to you, but if you do this for fun like I do, try having fun. I am stepping off my soap box, and burning it. I'm with you buddy, I really am but this is the exact reason why I've considered separate threads for posting scores and then the banter. I started this thread for recruitment, not to read frustrations. I'm doing this because I want to enjoy a friendly competition with a group of online players. I'm EXCITED about setting this up. I'm not doing this to put out brush fires with people who disagree with a course and wish to fight ME about it, or to hear arguments regarding players who sign up, tell me they wish to be permanent, and then don't play every other week. I'm not here to read "soapboxes" on a golf thread that is supposed to be fun. I know you're not arguing with me personally. I'm just frustrated with the negativity that comes about when you're supposed to be having fun. Again, not directing this at you but also want others to read my response as I'm the organizer of this tournament and I assure you, I run a very tight (but FUN) ship. No need to respond in depth because as I said, this a recruitment thread and I simply don't want to get in the middle of debates. We debate enough in this world over EVERY subject. Ain't going to happen here. We all will have a blast, enjoy some smack talk/friendly banter. For the record though, I agree with you. I look forward to getting this tournament rolling in early May and when I finalize this all, the teams will be announced, the rules will be posted and if needed, I'll keep posting those rules week in and week out. Have a great weekend!

I'm limited mobility and can no longer golf in real life. This is the closest I'll come to actually golfing the rest of my life and i'm only 51. That's why I want to see true REALISTIC courses.

I thought when you play well your HCP went up not down. I'm certainly not a minus double digits golfer, but holding my own around -4 -5 .. average at best. But since April 9 I went from HCP +9 down to +6.
Hope that won't affect me playing in this event.

It will not be an exact science. I'm more concerned with chemistry of the community I wish to continue (post Intrepid) and without question, you're part of the group.
