I can understand your delusion. Working on that list, is every day more clear and almost unbelievable, about how many good courses are absolutely underplayed and underrated. About almost 1000 courses accepted in the TGCT2019 list, almost the half are not handicapped. And i believe that more or less 150 have less then 100 plays. They are really impressive numbers. And it has to be really sad, to see your hard work and the time you spended with passion so unappreciated, and you have every right to be sick and tired of this situation, but if this can help you a bit, i noticed that this thing it happens (but less frequently, this is true) also to some course made by the "Big Names" into our great designers community. Sadly we are a little community of players, related to the enormous amount of courses published every day. Is simply impossible to play every course and so it's easy that some really good (if not great) course passes away just unnoticed. The wish of almost everyone to play always new courses make the rest. I really hope that the efforts of guys like lessthanbread (but i know they are a good number, the guys that in their societies tries to run underplayed courses), it could be helpful to every underrated designer. Please be patient..and if you love to create courses, don't quit. If we work together, we can help to make things better. Not perfect, i know it. But better. Wonderfully said here. Pretty much summed up the mission of Bread’s Crumbs. I’ll be sure to check out Idlewild. Don’t give up designing. One thing I think really helps quality courses get noticed is when the designer markets the hell out of their course. Post pictures in the best lighting, write a course book, even make up a cheesy backstory to the course. Anything to get it noticed Guilty of all of those things, plus logos lol. Anything to get eyeballs. If you can get them to play, then you have a chance for them to notice the quality of work. But with a flood of courses daily, it takes a little work to stand out.

This is becoming one of my favorite threads, after only two courses. lol
Thanks for the support and the shout out to Rusty Ship. I think it’s great when players come back here to give testimonials on these recommendations, makes them look more appealing if others give them praise besides just me. I would say your mission is a big success so far. HB Kieth mentioned on his twitch today that BOTH of the courses you have recommended so far are already scheduled for HB's society so they will get a ton of plays thanks to your work.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! I was chatting with a guy on the HB forums whose course I was going to feature but Kieth beat me to it and the course jumped to over 2,000 plays!

Any designer that wants some plays on their courses is welcome to join my society: TW EX PATS. We have aprox 200 players in the group (not all play of course, lol), but I can at least get you some exposure if the course is something that you are proud of. Just post a message on our home page or text me.

Would you give Mt Libert GC 2019 a go... it is tourworthy and has had a few plays through various societies, but is still a relative unknown in this community. Tx.

That’s so funny you mention this course because I actually came across it yesterday while randomly looking around the TGCT database. Had it on my list to look into further and see how many plays it has

This course is FANTASTIC. How is this one only got 38 plays? Well, probably because no one knows about it.
This would be great on a tournament. It really really makes you think, on a lot of the holes. Elevation plays a huge role, but unlike a lot of holes where you just hit it and admire the view, in this one the elevations actually come into play with your club selection, very easy to over or under hit some of these holes and be in trouble. Especially that number 10. An Island green with a 130 ft drop??! ingenious! and I'm happy to say my calculation was spot on, I put it beside the hole and birdied it.
Instant Favorite, try this one guys, you wont' be disappointed.

This course is really really good. Courses like Mystic Pines are what Bread's Crumbs is all about. Not just for giving praise to deserving designers, but to also give the community great courses to play.
