This weeks course is by a designer rjwils30 who since he first turned up on tgctours, has constantly made a impression with his designs. Pretty much all his courses end up on tour at some stage, and I think this is his third course to be used on the web. Reverend Green was not a easy course to set up, as no matter the choices made, some holes are going to play tough. The only option was to vary the conditions as much as possible so each day plays differently, one day a hole could play long, the next short. So enjoy the adventure guys, good luck and have fun.

Quite happy with a -10 to start. Though 2 mistakes were not needed. Especially the bogey on hole 2 (par 5) where I hit a gap wedge in the water. On hole 12 I didn't have the right club for the hole but I should have picked the 4 iron instead of the 5 wood. Now I was left with an unstoppable 25 yard flop where otherwise it would have been an uphill chip probably... Happens. Just got to learn from it. Good luck all. Very well designed course I have to say.

Fired a -11 -10 -7 -10 for a -38 total, the wind can easily bite you the last two rounds and the course can do the same at any time. I lost way too many strokes to stupid mistakes that the course punished. rjwils30 is one of the best designers we have and this, at least to me, is the best course he has to offer. Great course this week and really good job with the setup from round to round.

A great course that requires decision making on virtually all shots depending on slopes, wind and pin placement; have played this a few times in various societies since it came out, sometimes I've beaten it but it's often beaten me. Don't know whether having Euro and Web playing the same course off the same tees in the same week was planned or not ( hmammoth, mrvinegar206); I think it's a great idea occasionally so us webbers can all get an idea of how we might go 1 tier up. However it would need the conditions to be the same on both tours which isn't the case this week (which makes me think the timing is just accidental). In looking at the weather report for both tours I prefer the greater variety we have this week on Web; although 1 round on VF/VF like Euro would make this a very stern and interesting test. Hopefully you two schedulers can set something like this up at some stage. After all that, when I play my rounds later in the week I'm likely to blow it given my 50% cut record this season; even if I do I will still have enjoyed playing this course. Good luck to those yet to play / finish.

Loved the course and it wasn’t loving back at all. First round I felt the conditions were tougher and I scored a moderate -6. Second round the conditions were easier and I couldn’t get the ball to hit the bottom of the cup. The lips weren’t kind at all in round two. I don’t believe a -9 after two rounds will get me any further but this was a very fun and challenging course. Nice pick

Just took a 10 on the 7th hole par 3 and my week is over. Gave me a bunch of horrible drops that I could not get out of. Really needs to be an option to re hit from the tee.

You can if it's your first drop - it's one of the bumper keys to toggle between the drop location and your previous shot (tee in your case). Once you drop once that option is no longer avail though since your drop location and previous shot location are the same.

Went in cold after a 6 week break. Had no finesse, missed a heap of putts but don’t we all. 3 birds, one bogey, -2 and a crappy start to my Web season. Nice track 👍

Edit -2, -5 - Sweating the cut I expect.

On PS/4, if you press the L1 button, the ball will go back to where you originally hit the ball.... or press the down button and the ball will go back towards the spot you hit the ball

Been playing TGC since day one and did not know about this option.

Tim and I making it rain aces! Boom #1 -- Boom #2 - pretty fun round 4 for us! My scores got better as the event went on culminating in my best TGC2019 round ever - felt like the old days back in TGC1 after walking off with a 57 in R4. Hopefully secured that elusive promotion mark - those things aren't easy to get and keep!

The options on this course make it such a great play in various conditions.
R1: -11 w/ 1 bogey Edit: Also played a driver off the deck on 17 to put me close for lone eagle on the round. R2: -9 w/ a ton of missed putts... Had approx 3 lip outs and a good chunk more that missed by <1ft. Really felt like I could have blasted in a 50 rounder if some had fallen.
EDIT: R3: -9...... I was -10 thru 11 holes and then a sling of pars came with my round ending on 16-18 w/ bogey, birdie, bogey. Was on a freaking 50 watch and blew it. R4: -4. Enuff said.
