Thanks art. I don't think the societies search thing is working! Just had a look. It's showing in most popular now for some reason. Sign up people! You realise Dave that Societies are platform specific?

Never mind, Pandora will begin again in old format of me telling everyone what course, pins, tees on a round by round basis!
Anyone on XB1 who would like to join is more than welcome.

I'm tempted to stop recruitment there. We are a small fun society after all
Each Team will play each other twice per week, giving the chance for a 'revenge' match I have (believe me) painstakingly gone through TGCT.com to find everyone's World Golf Rankings and formulated teams based on that. Might be right, might be wrong...
So here's your teams, say Hi to your team-mate.
Team 1 The Taffman & B.Smooth13 Team 2 AndrewA & Energ1ser Team 3 ModeheadDM & Timbro_T Team 4 Duds1010 & Crushtastic Team 5 Mezmrin & Sdoc1977 Team 6 HeyGurthSR & StoweyEFC Team 7 Panicandromeda & Igolfbad Team 8 FuzzyMayonnaise & JakieRobo85 Team 9 NancoGC & ArtB Team 10 Daveok99 & Sidsnott
A Spreadsheet is setup and ready to (quite expansive, but ive managed to tailor it to make it easy for score collection. I will share the spreadsheet after the first week.
For all you Xbox players, there is also a Pandora Society up and running where I will drop the courses in, and we can have a little fun that way too (maybe earn a little coinage). It'll be a drop in, drop out kinda society. I will play every round personally, but if you don't want to, that's fine too! The rounds we will be playing and posting here, will of course be in the Society (double potential, earn coins, take part in Society tournament at same time I would love Societies to not be platform specific, but that's where we are at present, so I can't help that.
So now the next steps are to find some courses to play! I am tempted to steer away from the courses from last season and go for some good 9 hole courses (ported to TGC19 or otherwise newly designed). I'm open for recommendations please. Two courses per week, for 9 weeks, split into Monday to Thursday and Friday to Sunday...18 Courses total needed by about 8th September so I can get them all entered into the spreadsheet.
1st match location and pins etc will be communicated here on 9th September, in the evening.
Any other idea / questions / gratefully accepted. Now let's get those courses picked!

Thanks for putting me on a team.
Sorry I didn't make it clear, but you got it right. Was jumping in on both accounts.

The next idea will be to have 1 person in each platform willing to setup Pandora on their platform so we can all play exactly the same setup....maybe season 5 eh?

Wasn’t Pandora set up with each team selecting a home course? If that’s the case, the platform specific society set-up wouldn’t work. That said, I’m likely mistaken and you plan on an everybody plays the same course each week. In that case, never mind. 🍻

Everyone plays same courses, round Robin tournament. It works really well

That course in the society today was insane. Some creative holes, but absolutely ridiculous.
Sorry I do not have any recommendations for courses. I never look at the name of where I am playing.

Yeah I played it just hacking around really. One hole I reached shot limit as it was so high I couldn't get back to the green when I didn't reach it off the tee.
Hate courses like that that offer no real play.
