Hey Q, Barry had me on my toes, but I managed to stay out of trouble for a bogey free round. Cranked up the conditions for some delightful ground game.

Enjoyed my round. Especially loved the green on 9. Great green complexes overall as well. Great environment. Good luck in the contest!

This was excellent. Loved seeing how you used the plot, and particularly which green sites you found and used. Couple were real surprises, some were ones I thought about but discarded, and some are the same but different. Really interesting!
Particularly liked your different use of the 9th green, where I had my 4th. Thought your Par 5 12th was absolute class, and 16 is truly wild, Old Tom would approve!

Cranked up the conditions for some delightful ground game. always love your playthroughs and glad you played it in those conditions That par 3 Hole 11 is actually more influenced by an old Hoylake(Royal Liverpool) hole (hole 7) that had an OB berm crossing right by the greensite.

Such a fun take on this plot. It's got some wild spots but never overcooked and always natural. The Green locations and oversized nature of them makes every hole a blast the whole way. And the town was done so well and makes the course feel like a natural extension of it. Good job as always Q!

I had a blast batting ideas around with you on this. When I saw your initial routing had a take on the Klondike at Lahinch I knew we were going to have some fun with this and I enjoyed my round on the final product!

Thanks Dan, I think everyone on Team Pithy will agree that it was very insightful to have you as captain. The amount of feedback and work you put in to help us build the best courses we could helped tremendously. I feel like I came away a better designer after this project and I think a lot of what I learned will stick with me.

I feel like I came away a better designer after this project and I think a lot of what I learned will stick with me. I can certainly echo that statement! Most fun I have had designing a course since I have started… Just want to add that I love this course, Q. Was a blast watching you embark on this journey on such a cool plot. I think you nailed exactly what you set out to do and I’m glad I got an in depth look at the process. Along with Pithy being a great captain, you were also right there the entire way to bounce ideas off of. Was great working with this group!

Finally found the time to give this a proper go with firm conditions and high winds. I really enjoy how there's fun shot after fun shot building up to the closing 15-18-stretch which is just one big riot.
Too much fun - and do yourself a solid and schedule yourself for CC (I shot -9, it's fiiiine).
