Glad you're all enjoying the course, can't please them all it seems, lucky I've got thick skin and a great sense of humour to get the most out of this thread. The course was fully rangered by myself and others and received quite well, I've dug it out for you all to peruse on the European Tour page, sorry some of you feel so passionately about pin hunting.....wow! #someoneneedsakleenex Course was fully rangered by yourself is what I read here. Grand I'll play round 4 if I get that far without running out of controllers and I'll report back.

How can you schedule without knowing what you are scheduling?? You say you played only one rd and put it on tour. I just think a little more work needs to go into this. Moe was great at the web level. I cant remember ever seeing anything close to illegal on more then one hole an entire tourney. Christopher please! Let it go, you guys are the vocal minority week in week out I can assure you. I don't need to answer you but I'm polite so I will I played the original, thought it was a great design and would suit a nice Rural Euro event, I played 1 version on the 4 correct, I let the rangers have at it.... And in hindsight I should have maybe re-Rangered it seeing as it was a fair while back to suit all the sooks that have started seeping from the very sound foundation here TGCT! I've been here since day one and I tell ya what, I'm almost done! I can't comment on Moe's course selection but all I know is you can't please them all, I stick by my selections and this course is a beaut, how can it be suggested to host a Web/CC tour event yet you guys are carrying on like my misses up here on Web, throw your hat is the rank and become a Ranger and make an impact or rack off! Sorry on this one you say played version 4 missed it with all your posts giving out about the majority

Here's how I dealt with it. Played about 6-7 holes, saw were the pins were and happily decided to stick on the PGA for the week. I'm not one who enjoys pins that close to the edge so I'll try and avoid it whenever I can. As long as one of the courses on Pga or euro have more realistic pins each week then I'll be happy. Then I won't have to come on here 😜 And cmon roddy, don't let these euro morons get to you, us Aussies have thicker skin than that 😜

Practice is overrated!! Tested the sh%$ out of round 1 pins and come away with a crappy -9! Scrapped that idea and just played rd2 /3 before i had to go work, much better -11, -14 which included a sweet eagle on that short par 4 on the back side. Birdied hole 1 in rd 4 before i had to leave, sitting at -35 with 17 to go.

Well I wasn't looking forward to this. I went into round 1 with the mindset of taking it easy. Hitting the middle of the greens and keeping out of trouble. I got in trouble a couple of times probably slightly unfairly. I got out of them though to post a very respectable -7 and the fact that I didn't drop a shot was very pleasing. Pin seekers here will end up with great scores or awful scores depending partly on skill but with a slice of luck thrown in too. Take it easy and you should give yourself a good chance of making the cut. I say that before I embark on what is likely to be a round from hell!
Oh and those complaining about the 11th. Here's how you play it!!! (oh, it's still uploading, I'll post once it's up there)

Round 2 and more of the same was called for. A birdie on 1 was a good way to start but a run of 20 holes without a drop shot ended on the 3rd. That is a beast of a par 3 and in that wind I had no idea how to get it close. I got on the putting surface but wasn't able to get it down in 2. I continued to play well though and got myself back to -4 after 11. I then had a run of 5 birdies, everything clicked. I just escaped with par on 17 where again I was in trouble and a nice birdie on the last put me at -10. Under the circumstances that's my best round yet on the Euro tour. Typically before I started playing this week I wasn't focused on making the cut but looks like I've done it in style. I think I'll take a break though for a few days to recharge the batteries. I'm pretty burned out after that!
-17 after 2.

This is becoming an absolute joke now with the courses. May aswell flip a @!$#ing coin to see who wins. Shot -12 in the 1st round with a bogie and don't feel like I have achieved anything by skill. Just look at the leader board as you go through a round, everybody is on the same score nearly. Pathetic minded players have caused this because they have struggled. Honestly does anybody feel great when they birdie a hole? #wheresthetoptourgone

Honestly does anybody feel great when they birdie a hole? #wheresthetoptourgone What I shot in TGC --- What I feel I shot
Alby/ace = Eagle Birdie = Par Par = Bogey Bogey = Double Bogey So to answer your question - I just feel normal when I birdie a hole - hard to get excited when you birdie 80+% of the holes you play. Excitement is reserved for hole outs/aces/ridiculous putts
