My latest work-in-progress is being inspired by a couple of ideas I have sketched in my TGC notebook, so my design process on this project will be a bit different than my normal routine, because I normally don’t completely finish a hole entirely before doing another hole, but on this course, I’ll complete the holes I have designed on paper and then see how the course develops from there. I started with a totally flat plot in the Boreal theme with all autogen features turned to 0 (water, hills, trees, rocks, plants, grass, and every surface texture). Every single element you see on this course will be chosen and placed directly by me. The “first” hole design is done, and it looks pretty funny because it is literally a completed hole in the middle of a flat, barren plot (the word first is in quotes because this isn’t the actual 1st hole). More holes will organically be routed around this as I put my brainstorms to life in the designer. The course didn’t even have a name until yesterday, but the awesome crew I hang out with on Twitch like to joke about my laborious and long design process, so they started teasing me that it should be called Marathon, since it’ll be done sometime next year. LOL! (shout out to @larrymalone , Terry Grayson , Energ1ser , jacobkessler , B.Smooth13 , CiB0RG , TreeWood , pablo , toddfather , golferdude1994 , staypuft39 , scarpacci , lajvol20 , and others, in no particular order). I’m glad to share my design process with you all, as boring as it might be. Bob Ross could make a painting in a 30 minute show, but I need a 3 month timeframe to make a course. Haha! Marathon Country Club will be a clean, championship design, with medium-firm, fast greens and tight, strategic fairways. Only the TGC2 golfer willing to accept par as a good score should apply for membership, as rumor has it that Nesbit Golf Management intends to create a traditional test of golf that would appeal to TGCT schedulers of the highest tours. Not the 1st hole, but a preview of where this course design is headed:

Eric, I cannot wait for the other 17 holes, my man, even if I have to wait 18 months,

Also your WIP threads can be long and laborious (Other than your small novels - love them). A couple of examples: You've used 32 words, and have said the same thing three times (well, maybe two and a half) And in all seriousness, I'm looking forward to seeing this Marathon evolve, looks promising

Imagine if I tried to write it in Spanish pablo! I would use the same words, but not in English. The sentences would be written in Spanish. The whole post, not just part of it, but the whole thing, wouldn’t be in English, but in Spanish. The entire post. Even the pictures would be Spanish, not just the text, the whole thing. None of it in English. Haha! 🤪

Glad I could be there for the start of this, looking forward to seeing how it develops!
Little advance tip for those of you who'll be playing this course for the first time in 2023 - the right shot on this hole is to whack a 2 hybrid right at the rock wall, the ball bounces nicely back to about 6ft from the hole.

It has been an absolute blast hanging out on twitch with all you fellas the last week or two... Football coaching career complete (retired) and even though I think I am the only one that actually works out of this crew I shall have more time to spend on these twitch streams and have a ball talking trash to everyone (I know yall are so happy to hear that)
This particular hole has take our friend at least 427 hours which in turn means he loses two stars immediately upon release. I tease Eric, but in all honesty I have really enjoyed the laborious love he is giving each detail. I would give anything to have this type of patience he has for every inch of the plot. Just laying a group of stairs took nearly 30 minutes and he meticulously placed each one...
As we were watching him the other day the word Marathon came to mind so I threw it out there.. I was thinking a marathon is 26 miles this course will take 26 months so it stuck
Its been fun and I cant wait to see where this goes.... No doubt with Eric's talent it will be special
Thanks bud
Terry

LOL, no, that post was a complete BS post where I wrote the same thing over and over and over because you made fun of my posts being laborious too. Haha! You're good people Pablo, thanks for the fun!

For those that missed last night's golfing on Eric's stream, here's the transcript: (John)"...an eagle would have been sweeter -- I've never tasted eagle, but..." (Aces)"F#*k you, John!" (Nesbit) "Golly gee willikers, pals, I'm in the sand again!" (John) "From 120 yards out..." (Nesbit) "Darn it!" (Aces) "F@#k me....f*%kin' f*&ktard course..." ( Terry Grayson - in chat room) "I'm appalled...." (Nesbit - after missing 12-foot putt by 24 feet) "Oh shoot!" (Aces) - Yeah!! That's it baby!! Drained my putt faster than my one-eyed trouser snake!", etc., etc.
