Gee, let's look at this week: - Illegal pins - High winds for 3 rounds - Half of the putts inside 10 feet having 4-5 inches of break (this may be ok after short approaches but definitely not on some of these holes) -trees in the line of at least half a dozen shots from the tee or fairway - The stupid noon setting twice - 181 to 144 greens overnight.
Surely I can't be the only one to think this is crap....

Struggled to -19 this week, which is actually pretty good considering I opened +1.
Probably a demo, maybe 2.
Happy Thanksgiving folks!
Onward!

Gee, let's look at this week: - Illegal pins Looks like we missed a pin.. sorry - High winds for 3 rounds people complain with no wind and then complain with too much wind... - Half of the putts inside 10 feet having 4-5 inches of break (this may be ok after short approaches but definitely not on some of these holes) Don't miss on the wrong side of the hole -trees in the line of at least half a dozen shots from the tee or fairway sorry to make you actually have to think... - The stupid noon setting twice My fault.. I didn't make a note that the noon setting sucked - 181 to 144 greens overnight. They didn't mow. Surely I can't be the only one to think this is crap....

Not my favorite course, but I appreciate the challenge and the selection. I like being forced to make shots and think a bit.

Gee, let's look at this week: - Illegal pins Looks like we missed a pin.. sorry Was cut on a ridge R4, just because it was not on yellow does not make it right. Not the only one missed lately. - High winds for 3 rounds people complain with no wind and then complain with too much wind... Personal preference I guess. - Half of the putts inside 10 feet having 4-5 inches of break (this may be ok after short approaches but definitely not on some of these holes) Don't miss on the wrong side of the hole Including the 200+ yard par 3's and long 4's? Shouldn't have knee knockers after great long shots. -trees in the line of at least half a dozen shots from the tee or fairway sorry to make you actually have to think... One, maybe two as a feature. Why protect a course with vertical obstacles? It's not common on good courses. - The stupid noon setting twice My fault.. I didn't make a note that the noon setting sucked See cc-b thread for some thoughts on that one (there are some other comments you may want to note). - 181 to 144 greens overnight. They didn't mow. In that wind and no soft greens they couldn't mow? Not to mention a drop of that speed overnight, probably not. Surely I can't be the only one to think this is crap....

Green speed is a unrealistic joke, my only complaint . Otherwise this whiny baby is fine with everything
carry on.

Well round 3 in the books. +3 after the first 2 holes. Ended with -7. -28 so far. One round to go. Nothing wrong with the course and conditions that I can see. Green speed in the 140s was not an issue. There were no yellow lines that I could see on 16 but it was a little slopy but with slow greens it was not an issue.
not bad for a guy that has been in the demo mark area the last 3 events

-8 -9 -10 -10 = -37 A new personal best. This will surely get me my third promo mark and bounce me up to CC-B. My entire TGCT career has been in CC-C until now. I hope to see a few of you when you make it up a level yourselves! I think I overestimated a bit. After 3 rounds I’m sitting at 11th among masters. Hopefully the final round -10 gets me inside the top 10 but dang people came to play this week!

Sadly coming in 2nd is just like coming In 100 of you have a demo mark. Although I came In 10th at the moment but it’s a meaningless victory. I was just hoping to by 99th. lol

Not according to the rules posted but maybe they didn’t update? I can’t find the club at hill valley I can find 8 Hill valleys but no “Club at”.

Yea. You HAVE to put THE in the name. Club at hill valley will not find it. Looks like a generated course from the snake like fairways. ( not that I could do any better. lol)

Seems to contradict itself -the bullet point says one thing and the example says another unless it's accumulative but then you REALLY get juiced if you end 159th and get THREE demo marks.
What you are saying is you get ONE deleted for being in top ten AND another one for being 2-100?
Of course when 50 more players play 4 rounds today and I get booted out of the top ten it would make a difference
