Hey guys, I'm the designer for this week's course. I'm excited to see the scores and how the course plays! A little background on the design. It was my 2nd published course and was originally in the Alpine theme under Vivian Valley County Club.. That version had a lot of rough areas and but presented a fair challenge. For this tournament I remastered the course in the Swiss theme and for the most part really polished it off. It's not perfect by any means but I think it's a fun test but at the same time is fairly short. I hope you guys enjoy the course and put out some great rounds! Thanks, superace33 I really enjoyed the course. I thought everything played fair. The smallish greens on a few holes were appropriate to me to keep the scores from being to low and tested the chip/flop skills. I also liked the dogleg fairways and several trees that needed negotiating here and there.

My first european tour event. Had a few good practice rounds on the course which I really liked by the way. Well done jordanspringer with the course design.
1st round was poor. Made a silly bogey and was missing putt after putt. Made an eagle on the last for a 65. I felt gutted because tee to green I felt I deserved about a 62 but the scores never lie I suppose.
Round 2 was good, starting with an eagle on 1 and finished with an eagle on 18 again. had a nice bogey free 61 which should have been better. struggled to sink putts around the turn missing 2 4 footers.
Round 3 was the best I played. didnt miss a thing, but let myself down with a 3 putt from 14 foot on the par 3 17th. Made up with a 3rd eagle in a row on the 18th. Finished with a 60 which should have been a 59.
Final round, struggled to get going but was steady all round hitting a solid 62 in winds that rarley dropped below 12mph and were usually around the 17mph mark. The 18th, whch had been reachable in the other 3 rounds was a driver, 3 wood and a 65 yard chip today. I really wanted to make it 4 eagle's on the 18th for the tournament and I nearly did. I come within a foot of doing so when I nearly dropped the chip but had to settle for a tap in birde.
Really enjoyed my 1st Euorpean tour event and finsined with a -40 score which I hope will see me nearer the top of the leaderboard than the bottom, but mst likely middle of the table. My 1st round let me down and those 3 or 4 putts I missed have really cost me otherwise it would have been a really good event for me.

I started slow this week. First round was a -6, but then I picked it up and went -10, -14, and -11 to finish with a -41. Wish I could have shot better that first round. Would have put me in the top 10.

Finally played my 1st tourney of the new season after a much needed break and chance of getting a DQ for not playing. I just came into the event wanting to play well and make the cut. Well just like last season ( in which I played the whole season hardly missing events ) I just cant put 4 rounds all together.
Was very happy with 60, 59, putting me at -25 thru 2rnds and in a tie for 3rd. Thought maybe just maybe I could keep pace and maybe get my 1st win or top 5, not to be. Shot a 65 3rd round with a dbl bogey, got it back and finished with a 62 to put me at -42. The 65 killed my chances. Maybe manage a top 10, 15 out of it. GL guys really enjoyed the course, simple but enjoyable!!!
2 questions: How do I apply the banners you all have, top 100, top 150 to put on my post. And how is the wind setup this year??? My wind the 1st 2 rounds was varied. Hopefully its still the same for all. Again GL every1.

The 65 killed my chances.
That seems to be a common theme this week. I shot my 65 in rd 4 after being 1 or 2 off the PS4 lead going into the round. I hate having an off round in the tournaments where the elite are away and I have a fighting chance.

And how is the wind setup this year? The wind speed/direction is (almost) identical for everyone now (across all plattforms), with only little variance during a round. Wind speed can now change on every shot, making it more varying than it was previously.

I enjoyed the course. I know it was super easy for most of you. I shot my personal best of -31 but I'm borderline getting cut at the moment. I will still be pleased even if I do get cut but I would like to be able to win some prize money to get a value meal from McDonalds.

Was hoping I'd have a shot at winning my first ever tournament this week, looks like I'm gonna fall just short. Hoping for a top 5 though after going -13 and -13 on my last 2 rounds. -47 total.
