Guess ill go ahead and make a WIP thread now that i have gotten back some hope of actually managing to finish the course for the rookie contest. (and add some pressure too make it happen)
It might still be very tight for time but im feeling more and more confident as the speed and motivation keeps increasing the last few days.
(full disclousure) From the start it was meant to be a RCR-lite, that was abandoned shortly after the basic hole layout, but due too that some/most holes shares similarities with a real course.(many of the fairways and general bunker/waste locations
So here is a bit of a timeline, just to share my ups and downs and give some context to the screenshots.
Aug 13 -
Eagerly(somewhat) awaiting TGC2019 and decided to sign up for the Rookie design contest, not least to have something to work at in the new awesome designer!

Started building in TGC 2 to get a head start

Ryder Cup!
already spending 12h a day infront of the computer for RC so i might aswell do some building while watching.
Adding fairways/greens and tees
Sep 30 -
Progress!
Decide to really attempt to get something done before the deadline even if it would be last, (still very likely considering the quality judging from the WIP threads)
Some of the bunkers/waste area added
Oct 5 -
Back at it gain, even more progress and starting to get some motivation back.
Starting to actually believe in finishing the course, 18 somewhat playable holes.
Starting to do some planting and sculpting.
Oct 13 -
Designing is fun again!
Tempo and progress is picking up big time, and almost a month left to the deadline.(thanks Erixsonstone!)
Expecting to not only have 18 playable holes but looks like i will have "plenty"(?!) of time for some polish aswell unless something unexpected happens
TLDR
Im still in it
