I'm getting closer to finishing up my course for the FCC contest in which everyone gets a state in the US to design a course in. Mine was South Carolina so I built a delta themed course along the shore and some internal lakes. Feels like its coming together pretty well and I wanted to start showing pictures since it will get dropped over the next couple weeks. Hope you enjoy. I'll start with some snips of holes 1-3 today and drop more over the rest of the week. These first 3 holes are very scorable. Tougher green on 1 makes you sink a putt with some break for a birdie. Hole 2 offers a downhill 2nd shot into a par 5 that is reachable just avoid the front bunkers. Short par 4 on 3 that the drive is going to be interesting depending on wind and tees. Green slopes from back to front so coming in from the side offers a bit more of a challenge to get it close for an easier birdie. On certain tees and wind conditions this is a potentially driveable hole but dont go into the creek in short and the right or else you could look at a big number. Holes 4-6 to come soon. Hole 1 Hole 2 Hole 3

Here are some pictures of holes 4-6. Hole 4 is the first par 3 going towards the lake. Stay out of the bunker on the left. Hole 5 is a par 4 that for the best results off the tee a slight draw is needed. And hole 6 is the second par 5 that goes up hill to the right and back towards the shoreline. Depending on wind and tee it can be reachable as well but this hole plays very different based on pin positions. If you are in the bunkers short and left then it creates a very difficult bunker shot. Enjoy these pics! Thanks for taking a moment to look. Hoping to put out 7-8-9 tomorrow. Hole 4 Hole 5 Hole 6 Hole 6 - green area

Pictures from holes 7 and 9. Working on finalizing 8 now. 7 is the second of the back to back par 5's. It is reachable but you need to have a very good second shot to get shot at eagle. Hole 9 is a par 4 heading towards the clubhouse and hotel. Hole 7 Hole 9

Holes 10-12 today. 10 and 11 are I think the toughest greens on the course (along with 18). Playing to the middle is a pretty good option. There are ways to use slopes to get close but the room for error is small so beware. These holes start what I think is a tougher back 9 than the front. Get through these two and 12 is a short par 4 that can be drivable and allow you to get 1 or maybe 2 strokes back. Hole 10 approach Hole 11 - Tee shot Hole 11 - behind the green Hole 12

Today will be the finishing holes and my last pics before the release. I think the release will happen tomorrow night and I'm probably going to do a release video on youtube. I don't have the equipment or twitch subscription but can broadcast on youtube and talk about the course. More on that to come. I hope you all have enjoyed the pics and sure hope you will give it a play when it comes out. For now here is hole 16 - last par 5 Hole 17 Hole 18
