New is the same. I think it published by accident. I figure 30s will be about right. We'll see ? Also, it would be cool if you setup the pins for Saturday to reflect the traditional "moving day" that is accessible locations toward the back and in bowls. Then, on Sunday, everything tucked and few laces from the edges WEll one day will be wet...and softer...with some pins that you will be able to attack. That was kind of the plan for me. I'll probably mix the hardest pins between friday and sunday. Thursday will likely be the course as it is now.

Shot -10 in my second practice round. Really liking how the course awards good shots, and I don't see any unfair pins. Learn to make putts > 15 feet, and the scores are there to be had.

you got it. If you can make your putts you'll still score. I'm struggling with some pins for round two and four...but we'll get there.

Well round two right now has some very accessible pins...but there are two or three that are pretty mean. You can putt them fine...but trying to land close is VERY difficult on a few. I think it will allow some scoring on day two but you may give one back if you aren't careful on a few holes.
Day three is going to be Wet with Medium firmness and speed...but the pins are going to be pretty tight...so if the wind is up (which it SHOULD be for round three hint hint admins) then you better be dialed in.
Day 4...I'm trying to decide if I should just be mean or go back to mostly round 1 pins with a few changes here and there. I'm thinking that's what I'll do... but we'll see.

Round 3 is moving day, so while the green softness should help just be careful. Don't want to make it too difficult. Save that for Sunday.

No no, it won't be too bad. The soft conditions will allow for folks to make a charge. I am just not going to remove the possibility of bogie. In other words birdie will be easier...but bogie won't be any harder than it was. Does that make sense?

In the two round ones you have posted, one is the open and one is NEW open. in the NEW open it is raining and the firmness seems Medium. In the regular one it is sunny and they seem very HARD. So since I don't create courses here are my questsions: If a course is normally HARD surface if it rains does that automatically turn it to something like Medium firmness? Is the course you are planning to have going to be HARD surfaces or Medium ones? It really does make a difference.

rain does nothing but look neat. I lowered the settings and speed. You will play BOTH versions and maybe one more during the tournament.

Any ETA when you gonna release the final versions? I'm checking with the admins. My thought would be to release it a few days ahead of time to allow practice...but not only for a short time more like real life.
