So I was at home recently and this dude calls to the door, he says he is from the The Church Of Satan and could I spare a few minutes. I had nothing better to do so I invited him inside to listen to what he had to say. He told me the church were on a recruitment drive and told me what the church has to offer. He told me of a life of debauchury, partying, women, the finest beers and spirits and no end of money. I told he that sounds like an average weeknight at the schedulers mansion, that I would need more than to to even consider joining. He then told me that the church owns a private golf course, Devil Sands Ocean Club designed by prettygreen1 . That’s is the very course that on the eighteenth hole, Tiger Woods offered to sell his soul to become the world greatest blues guitarist. It seems Tiger wanted fame and fortune, white women and unlimited pain killers, to horrify white parents everywhere as their daughters put posters of him on their walls. The church had a better idea and asked Tiger, if he really wanted to stick it to whitey, they would make him a professional golfer and even Augusta National would have to leave him in. Tiger jumped at the chance and that is the completely true and accurate story of how Tiger Woods became the greatest golfer of his generation. Well, I am always looking for new courses to play, so I told him I would try it for a week which is how we get to play Greg Emmersons fantastic golf course. So, good luck, have fun and tgctours are not responsible for any burning in hell that may occur this week.

No burning in hell for me this week but can’t see my score reaching Tiger heights either.
I enjoy the courses that are more lifelike so much more than the fantasy mountainside courses. This course isn’t a masterpiece in terms of scenery but it bloody works as a golf course. Birdie chances but also holes where you need to accept a par.
-8/-12 will see me around for the weekend. -8 over the last 9 holes including an ace, turned an average round into a really good one.
Word of warning - lots of pins at the front of the green in Rd 2
Enjoy

Early days, played 2 Korn rounds, followed by 4 Deebag ones, cannot really recall much of my Korn rounds now that i'm posting.
What I do recall is that i'm a fan of this course. Has a bit of atmosphere about it. Scoring -8 and -13, should be good to play 2 more that counts. After back to back missed cuts.
Looking forward to have to play 2 more rounds, irrespective of how good or bad i'll score.
Good luck all

Slammed last two rounds. -10 and -11 to finish up on -42. Enjoyed that! Last round included a gut wrenching double from nowhere. Putted well in general on this course. Stats show 5 eagles for the tourney, will be a record for me And I got very lucky too. Flopped a straight flush seeing as the devil had all the aces.

I'm a fan of these kind of greens (fast, no rediculous slopes) and I scored a nice -10 to start. My best round in a while. Had too many bad swings though and those shots would be good birdie chances if I hit them well but I guess on our level nobody hits every shot straight so I better accept it. Good luck to all it's a good course

Funny I had completely different wind on that hole and could never get there in 2. Did hit a good wedge there though.

Well I think that's the end of my streak of 6 made cuts. Played pretty well in the first but that was largely down to some nice putting. I hit a lot of fasts on approach which left me a lot of medium to long putts and it found me out in the second round. Can't keep holing them, at some point you've got to start getting in close! I didn't, really struggled with those front pins and then completely lost my swing in the middle of the round and went backwards. 3 birds in the last 5 salvaged some respectability but I would think I'm a good couple short.
63 and 68 for -13. Nice course, my play not so much. Good luck all, see you next week!

The speed may vary by a mph or 2 and the direction sometimes swings around a little bit, but the whole point is we play the same conditions

Any other Korn Ferriers play in the Promo event? Nice to play with the wind speed on, easier conditions and a more forgiving course. Worth a hit if you haven’t, stress free golf!!!

Oh bu$$er. I had two dreams, win an event and spend a week enjoying the debauchery at the schedulers mansion. One dream left and winning an event was always the least likely of the two to happen!

Cost me alot of yards on the drive.

Funny I had completely different wind on that hole and could never get there in 2. Did hit a good wedge there though. I also never hit that green in 2 in the 1st 3 rounds (laid up rd 1 and 2). Round 3 I had a bit of helpful tail wind and went for the Hail Mary, bunkered it short but was left with an easy flop and putt for bird. Played for the bunker on purpose in 4th, but the ball went left - either I pulled it or more likely a fast downswing - considering how close I got to carry the bunker distance wise - which led to hitting the grass to the left of the bunker and getting the lucky bounce. You mentioned having had a completely different wind, I hope it was just a small glitch, would be a bummer if conditions do differ completely from platform to platform or from player to player on the same system even. Small differences probably do happen and will be acceptable
