Hi all will be putting up this comp tomorrow!
It will be held over 4 potential courses for web and I would appreciate all feedback positive or negative!
We can use this thread also to post scores I will only be able to ps4 scores so all you boxers and steamers please do update us on scores.
As for the prize *drum rolll*
I will give the highest placed Webber on of the following powers!
Either they can pick the theme for the first major "Grey Matter "
Or they can pick the course out of the 4 on this tournament! Subject to feedback from webbers of course. So if a course is disliked then I won't go on tour obviously so can't be picked for a Major!
Worth playing for?

I played my rounds tonight. Good mix of courses though I think a couple are a lot more polished than others. - Spyglass - very nice recreation of the real thing. I felt really rusty and blew a bunch of chances but it felt like a good test for a web tournament with winning score in the -40's
- The Beobachter - Interesting layout but felt kinda bland. Didn't have to think a lot here - just fired at the pins and didn't have a ton of challenging putts. I think this course needs more polish. This felt like it would be a winning score -50's or lower.
- Caney Creek - I liked this course but the winds were low so it wasn't that difficult. I came apart on the back nine or I would have been pretty low. -9 after 12 and finished -8. Winning score might get to -50 here without wind.
- Tye Dunes - This course ate my lunch. It didn't feel especially hard but I couldn't make a birdie. Putts just slid by the hole over and over and over when I had chances. Really struggled keeping the ball on the green. Winning score might be -20's to 30's with the good players.
Here are my scores. I won't win or come even close. -26 total which is pretty pitiful I think. Fun tournament though - thanks for setting it up!

My score will get clobbered. Going into the final round you'd got a 5 shot lead so I wasn't very optimistic. You blew up and I turned it round and ended up beating your score by 4 shots. WTF happened?

Not sure what happened other than missing a ton of putts and not thinking things through. I was tired but decided to finish out late last evening and that's usually a bad decision. But I think if I played well maybe -6 would have been in range. -9 is excellent on that course.

Thought I'd give this a go and only halfway thru. Same start as Yaters which is a little weird but is an accurate reflection of those courses and agree completely with his view. The 2nd course seemed a little out of place in the setting, might be more of a test in gale winds.
Spyglass was lovely. Punished on a couple of holes.
Will wait to see what the other courses hold...

Was just reading the course write-up for Tye Dunes - looks stunning. That -9 is outstanding. I'll be lucky to break par....

I played earlier and my tournament ended after a 5 putt 7 on the 5th hole on Beobachter in the second round after my approach ran up the back of the green. This highlights the problems with this game sometimes when you are faced with an extremely long putt that is uphill at first and then down all the way once you get it over a ridge (nearly 100ft to the ridge), the ball came up short a few times and rolled back past where I was in the first place. I hit a good shot in and took 7 as I hit the green where ghost balls that missed the green could flop up close for an easy up and down. Just speed golfed the rest after shooting E on the easiest course and loosing 10 to 13 strokes to the field. R1 -2 R2 E R3 -2 R4 -6 Total -10 Feedback: Spyglass is a lovely course and provides a good test and would be welcome on any tour, good players will still go low here and I had plenty of chances that I couldn't take even when not playing well.
Beobachter shouldn't have been in there Moe like I told you already, I know it is your course and you have done a good job on it, just not ready for a tour event to be played on it yet.
Caney Creek was another good test and had some tricky greens, would be a good tournament course as the greens have some tricky breaks but good shots are rewarded. The good players will still go low here but I think they will do that on most courses.
Tye Dunes is an amazing course design, I couldn't believe it had so little plays, the firmness of the greens make this a real test of a course to score on and is one I hope will be appearing on Web, the only thing that might bug some people is that it is quite hard to hold some greens no matter what you hit but this course really is stunning.
