ohheycat The 18th is prooving a right bugger to sculpt. As it's on top of The Swiss Wall it is massively elevated above the rest of the course. Because the Wall is so close to the hole I have to be precise and because the land is already raised massively I can only do minimal raising for the actual hole. This one might be a pretty flat hole, but don't look down. Unless it's snowing and you're brave and wearing skis. I'll bring my base jumping gear

I'm getting there... slowly... the sculpting is taking me a long time on 18 but I'm getting there. I should have the holes finished next week, then it's the course surrounds and some full round play testing. It's getting closer!

And here's the final hole. The intention was for this to read at a gnat's bollock over 300 yards from the back tees. However, because the flyover dipped down The Swiss Wall and the game would default to a pitch or flop shot off the tee, I've had to divert the waypoint up the fairway instead so the yardage on the card is much longer. Off the tee you have a choice. You can try and drive the generous size green or play it safe and hit a hybrid or long iron up the fairway. The green is perched on top of a small peninsula on top of The Swiss Wall. It's driveable, but you sure as hell don't want to miss by much otherwise you are reloading. This hole is going to yield birdies and possible eagles. It will also wreck your card if you're careless.

So the course is laid out. Now I've got to add the course surrounds, marker posts, practice area and play test. An optimistic target for release is a fortnight today as I go away the day after for a week. However, with the surrounds to add and three tees and four pins to play test, more realistically I'm looking at mid-late July.
