Hello all! In the spirit of March Madness (and with a little bit of extra time  ) I decided to create a tournament bracket with the top golf course designs in TGC 2019. To keep it as objective as possible, I only considered non-RCR course listed in the TGC Tours database with the pre-requisite of hosting at least one TGC Tours Event. I then came up with a rudimentary formula to rank the 170 eligible courses and determine a field of 64. The formula, in weighted order is as follows: Tournaments Hosted*100,000 + Rating*100,000 + Likes*10,000 + Plays. The rankings alone were interesting to see, but if anyone is interested, I thought it would be fun to do an online poll for the matchups to vote on the top design in TGC 2019. Of course, none of this is to insult any of the incredible designs, rather a light-hearted "fan vote" among the games best players and designers. If this is of interest, let me know and I'll set up a poll for round one. I'm also open to suggestions on the best means of voting/polling. UPPER BRACKET  LOWER BRACKET

Here is a look at the rankings/scores from the system I created:

Interesting idea. Can't believe Monterey Bay is so low. One of the best courses on tour for sure.

So Seenbayer would go up against Cali Tour Club ... OY! Wouldn't know what to pick there. Like asking, which child do I like more?  |

I like the idea. It puts the vote out to the public rather than the rubric.
I'd vote if you put a poll up.

All: Here is the link to a survey that takes you through round one of voting with all 32 individual pairings --> s.surveyplanet.com/ki9M-vpqpI'll leave this open for a week or so. Feel free to share this in other boards and threads on the forum to up the number of votes we get. I'll circle back with the results when they're in! --Josh |

Very cool idea! Glad to have a couple courses get on there. Weird though that Silverback didn't make it...but maybe its 2019 metrics aren't as impressive as they were in TGC2. Looking forward to the results!

Did this ever go anywhere? What were the poll results?

See updated brackets below... we had a few notable upsets (by seeding) in round one, but based on the nearly unanimous votes, they weren't really upsets, rather a correction on the seeding system!
If you are new to this thread, the seeding formula, in weighted order is as follows: Tournaments Hosted*100,000 + Rating*100,000 + Likes*10,000 + Plays. The rankings alone were interesting to see, but if anyone is interested, I thought it would be fun to do an online poll for the matchups to vote on the top design in TGC 2019. Of course, none of this is to insult any of the incredible designs, rather a light-hearted "fan vote" among the games best players and designers.

Apologies for the long delay... I have updated the brackets to the SWEET 16, you can see them below and vote for our top 8, here: s.surveyplanet.com/s1MOuWj1PIf you are new to this thread, the seeding formula, in weighted order is as follows: Tournaments Hosted*100,000 + Rating*100,000 + Likes*10,000 + Plays.
