Apologies for the late start to the thread boys. Busy week. Week 24 we are off to Daggertooth by @figz. It was his entry into the rookie design contest and a standout course from that competition in my opinion. Very fun course that is similar to many northern michigan courses you might be familiar with. --- From the designer: Welcome to DaggerTooth, my 4th official course and entry into the Rookie Design Contest! With main inspiration from Greywalls, DaggerTooth is located in the upper Northwest part of Michigan. At just over 7,200yrds from the tips, DaggerTooth offers wide undulated fairways, plenty off subtle strategy, a mix of open and tight tee shots, and not many flat lies to spare. You wont find much flash outside of the course as I based the environment off something you would find in the middle of the forests in Northwest Michigan with a small simple clubhouse that was formed before the course was even designed. Like Mike DeVries says in "Tourist Sauce (Michigan): Episode 5, "Kingsley Club" - "Most guys don't care, they want to have a burger and a beer and a good time and want to play golf". --- Any man who watches and quotes No Laying Up's Tourist Sauce is alright in my book. Good luck everyone!

Well if ever there was a week I'd actually be happy to miss the cut it's this week. Didn't really enjoy any of my two rounds. No issues with the course itself, layout etc, but I was hampered by lag on most shots. It was less of a problem with shots from tee to green but it made putting feel like I'd just started playing. Constantly hitting it too hard due to the lag and consequently missing putts I'd normally make with my eyes closed.
Managed to grind out -8 and -9 so I'll probably miss.

After leaving me greenkeepers hut to play rd1, i thought to myself, that i really need to put a few home comforts in here if im going to spend alot of time here , but after rd1 I hastely returned for a change of underwear -12 and to be fair i know i left 2 more out there. Rd2 i played well again, but just left more out there, probably 4 i would say, -8 finish. -20 thru 36H's, little smile on my face (hopefully making a cut) as i close the hut door behind me, now how can I improve my comfort? Good Luck all, play well

Apologies to everyone who scored -18, that's what I scored. This is the week that I miss the cut, by a shot.

Evening Elitists.
After 15 months of Plat. With work and family time mounting up. My luck ran out and couldn’t keep pace in Plat.
Looking forward to battling it out with you here.
Keep it Culinary 👨🏻🍳⛳️

As predicted, jwtexan Wes, I missed the cut, by a shot. Just remember that means we are on track to eventually win by a shot. Just make the cut by a shot next week and we know the voodoo is working!

This wasn't in the event. Just a practice round. But I'm confused how it happened. Hole 6, I hit my tee ball between the middle patch of rough and the right edge of the fairway. It's telling me it's heavy rough when it's clearly in the fairway. I'm not sure if this is just the game just making an error, or if the course has a little glitchy spot that does actually record as heavy rough. I hit the shot and it definitely reacted as heavy rough. Anyone else run into this? /photo/1 Daggertooth 6th ScreenshotAlso I can't get it to post the screenshot into the code, best I could do is my tweet. xD apologies.

I didn't have that happen on this course but it has happened to me once before. Can't remember the course now but I hit drives into the fairway and it actually stopped like it was rough, and same thing with hitting out of it.

I should probably be residing in the greenkeepers hut, given I am actually a qualified greenkeeper 🤣 I don't currently work as one, but I am a member at the course where I did my apprenticeship.
