My quick take on the results:
Obviously, I'm thrilled to win my group. I thought all four courses were solid, and while I am very proud of my design, things could have gone differently for the same price.
There were some mildly surprising results here and there, but to me, the biggest shock was Shelter Island not getting even one win in group. I played that course last week and really enjoyed it. It has a very mature and polished look to it and played great. I'm certainly not criticizing the judges, just expressing my surprise. I know how close these can get having judged before.
As for the bracket going forward. I feel like I've got a favorable bracket. That doesn't mean I think the potential matchups stink. It just means I'm happy being where I am compared to where I don't want to be, and that is anywhere near Arctic Fury. Our courses are similar in many ways except his seems to do the 'wooded highland theme" thing a little better than I. I'm glad to see him on the other side of the bracket.

yeah, just to be clear, i certainly wasn't being critical either! Just saying i didn'tnecessarily agree, which i'm sure everyone is comfortable with! At the end of the day, pretty much every course is of a "professional" standard, many opinions will come down to "taste," and the judges applied a pretty damn scientific judging criteria which will do the best possible job of choosing winners.

Congrats to the winners, and big props to the judges and Eric/Andre...
Can't wait to see how the rest pans out, but well done to all so far. Glad I'm out, course was so unfinished... Still annoyed with the amount of time I wasted on stupid crap like sinking bunker grasses and building stone stepping retaining walls... Poor time management, haha.

Even so, still my favorite group E course by a mile (and I loved all the other courses in that group!).

Did Sandy Knee tie with itself and Saltshire lose to a course in a different group or did you mix up the numbers in group D?

Do any of the contestants who have been eliminated NOT want the judging comments in the group threads?

I don't care either way. What ever you decide is fine by me.

I have a preview of some of the highlights from the judging! EXCLUSIVE!!!
"The front nine made me think an escaped mental patient absconded with a lawn mower in the middle of the woods! The back nine was like having explosive diarrhea from the normal orifice...and two other random openings in my body. Both of them were my mouth."
"As I played the first par three I couldn't help but wonder 'who has hurt this person and why have they taken it out on me?'"
"Copy of TGC 2019 - $39, Internet connection - $45, Judging this course - My self respect and two hours of weeping in between shots"
"If I had to judge this one again I'd have built a time machine and castrated my dad"

^^ It's fixed now, it was indeed a typo in the thread. It's correct on my sheet here in the office.

Granted, I'm extremely stressed and pretty cranky today, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm a little unsure what to do here. I have responded to many requests to have the judges notes given to you guys privately, but then most of what I get back is defensiveness or justification about your course. I am simply the messenger in that scenario, so I think my recommendation would be to post in your group thread that you want more detailed information from the judges that did your matchups so that you better understand their comments and their results. I can't answer those things for you even in a PM, because I'm not a judge and I had nothing to do with the results, so I trust my judges completely and if you need more information beyond what I've relayed, it would be best to move the conversation to the group thread and have it out there. Thank you for understanding.
Please don't read this as me being upset, I'm definitely not mad at anybody. But in this scenario, I'm just the messenger, because Andre and I are running this tournament, but we didn't judge it, so we don't have any additional insights on the judging other than what I'm relaying to you.
