Picking your favourite hole from each course is a good idea and then from that we could come up with a designer dream 18. We could also limit each course in the final 18 of only having 2 holes so that more courses have a chance of getting a hole in. Restrictions for contests will always limit the number of entrants but not eliminate the 'gap'as someone who may not have published much may have been secretly trying new skills and techniques and refining things without anyone knowing especially if they don't stream, whereas someone else who may not have done much but does stream and getting 'live'feedback may not be as good and gap will still exist. I think moat of us went into this contest not necessarily trying to win but to get feedback on how they are designing and what improvements can be made to create tour worthy courses or at least get them approved for the database. I have only played 3 courses so far and have made some notes and will get around to sending pm's to the designers of what I liked and what I didn't like, but the quality of each course is up there and I don't envy the judges having to try and decide what courses make the cut in each round let alone awarding a winner True Dave..... although this may be a contest I dont think anoyone is going into this knowing or thinking they are going to win...... I didnt...... I was here hoping to improve... hoping to get feedback... hoping to publish a good course.... hoping to get plays..... hoping to make a name so my next courses are played without flooding the thread  ....... hoping to be a contender...hoping to impress the judges...hoping to perhaps be on tour... hoping for a good result..... BUT all I can really say is guys that I hope to see and speak to some of you guys after this contest regardless of who wins or kicked out first. |

It's too bad we can't share files on console. How cool would it be to take the best holes from each course, route them together and have each designer redesign them based on what they've learned. Would probably be a badass course.

Would probably be a badass course. That is very true... imagine we could do collabs and fix each others weak points while working on your own strong points...... |

Yes, but PC allows files sharing and collabs which could make a huge difference to any console users' end product... |

Gone ahead and created a thread for the Dream 18
Keeping it inclusive so everyone will have a hole in the end result
Don't see an issue in non-contestants getting in on the action too
Would be cool if we can create some kind of compilation once completed
Get involved and enjoy

The question was about combining holes from different courses which is just impossible. Not sure how collabs or file sharing really come into this? |

Because they can be done on pc but not on consoles. |

You can share courses via pc... but intermingling holes doesn’t work. For example.. how would you take a hole from Bahiir (desert), and place it with a hole from marlette (boreal) it’s not gonna work. You can certainly share files on pc, but you can’t ‘mix’ them

Yeah, it's not the sharing part I don't get, more why we're talking about it making a difference in a contest where you can't do that anyway? I feel like I've missed the point here lol.

Would probably be a badass course. It would be cool I’ll be ripping my course apart in the future and changing it with the feedback I’ve already received |

The old Jack Nicklaus game was a compilation of 18 holes of Major Championship Golf. It was possible because holes were loaded one at a time.
A collab on PC could work if designers were willing to recreate the holes on a single plot. Could be hard to do because of elevation changes, and a ton of planning would be needed, but I'd stop short of impossible.

 its so easy to get confused in these forums as one sometimes tries to write less than what is necessary...... II think what 15eicheltower9 meant was that it would be cool if you could mix all these holes together and get a best of 18.......I remember an old jack niclaus game where you could do it... but of course you will lose the enviroment of each course aswell......anyway thats what I think To elaborate, one guy would take all 18 holes that were voted the best, then just route the course with no tee boxes, greens, or fairways. Whenever it was your turn you would just recreate your hole concept, not exactly a hole a perfect replica but a new and improved version of that concept and strategy. But this is all a pipe dream anyway. |

Could be hard to do because of elevation changes, and a ton of planning would be needed, but I'd stop short of impossible. Elevation and lighting and theme would all be an issue. I was thinking you could spread the holes way out and maximize the plot usage. The routing might get a little jumbled. The real issue though would be fitting a 80000 yd. Par 6 in there  |
