I thought they were all great courses, leaning on the tough side. Didn't shoot too well the first two rounds. Winds were fairly calm if I remember correctly, so they could play even tougher.
General thought on overall course selection going forward: I think more consideration should be given to some of the past courses that were highly thought of despite of already hosting tournaments in the previous season.
Fun event and good way to stir up feedback going forward if you wanted to do something similar again.

I noticed both you and Nantez haven't played yet Moe, what's the story there? Don't tell me you converted Nant into a watcher now too You can blame horror IKEA flatpack hell for that I'll play them tonight can't wait to play those courses I haven't played any of them yet bar moes so I will go in blind. Really looking forward to round 4 that sounds like a gem

Moe, are you scheduling on your own now? Has Luke stopped?
You need a good mix of courses to keep it lively, some easy, some hard, one or two impossible. You could revisit a couple of last seasons web final courses but there are some great new courses out all the time.
Ultimately you can't please everyone!

Wait a minute, Moe is now a watcher for his own tournament? I'm having a hard time even processing that. Should be a 1 shot penalty every day you fail to post scores! ANARCHY!

Yeah its just me Luke has scheduled up to week 17 and has moved on to pastures greener! The only way to work it is trial and error really and listening to the Webbers! All course suggestions are welcome obviously must have been approved by a TGC Reviewer! I'll be a democratic leader till I get power hungry try to invade other tours and force my designers to pay for water usage!

Be warned my scores make no sense before today my records were
Spyglass -8 Beobachter -7 Caney Creek -2 Tye Dunes -2
I shot in the Comp Spyglass +3 (yes that's not a typo) Beobachter -7 Caney Creek -8 Tye Dunes -7
-19 Total.
I would love to give my opinion but the Web schedule from week 18 onwards will be my opinion so can't be giving away spoilers !
But in the immortal words of Larry Burns I say to the designer of Beobachter after playing a comp with them other 3 course "Uck, put her back in she's not done yet"

Well gents I enjoyed this. To be fair the CUCC's home course is Spyglass so I have had practice. I like all the courses. Apparently quite to the contrary, The Beobachter gave me the most trouble. I loved Tye Dunes, we need more of those courses on Tour.
Spyglass -9 The Beobachter -7 Caney Creek -14 Tye Dunes -8
For a total of -38

Some great scoring there Heman, you must have used the power of Grayskull on Caney, great round I agree 100% about Tye Dunes , more of those type of courses and everyone is happy.

Really enjoyed Tye Dunes. This was the stand out course for me. It's beautifully designed (as someone currently with a WIP) it makes mine look like an infant school drawing (no disrespect to kids!) it's so bl**dy hard to design well.
-39 is pretty respectable for me. I'm sure there are webbers out there that will eat it up. Look forward to MVS playing.

Played first 3 rounds -7,-11,-1 and am currently -4 after 5 holes of Tye Dunes which looks absolutely incredible judging by peoples comments, it is a must Moe. Craney Creek was a real test Ithought and struggled to shoot -1. Went in blind on these selections bar Moe's course and I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to finish off Tye Dunes later fair play to the designer, the lighting is brilliant and really brings the course to life

Great score man agree 100% some beautiful designs and it is very hard to design a top quality course so fair play to people for doing it. I gave up as I don't have the skill, patience or time to make them..look forward to MVS playing myself as long as he doesn't screen shot another -41 from week 36 into the spoiler thread ;-) haha it tricked me last week into thinking he had won

Tough course. First time I've watched a 9i land 15 yds short of the hole and finish up 5ft away!!
