Cut line today at -15...but why shouldn’t it be? I’m always right on the line! But then, I see no less than 8 players in the double digits scoring range for round 1 who have not completed their round 2. 🤦♂️ I really enjoyed the course but it may be time to seek out another putter

Thanks man, appreciate your thoughts. As far as the courses go, it's not my intent to torture you guys week in and week out, but this is the Euro Tour. One step away from the toughest tour we have. The courses shouldn't be pushovers in my opinion. My goal is challenging, fun courses. Some will be harder then others obviously but intentional birdie fest probably won't be in the rotation. Some turn into that because to the sheer quality of players at this level. Yeah, my take wasn't "intentional" birdie fest, I like a challenge! It was a more subtle point, like you're choosing between two kind of thing, and one you think MIGHT be on the easier side of things, and one you've spotted two or three things that MIGHT annoy people a bit; my preference would be the easier one. But I hear you on the need for difficulty. My "issue" doesn't come up that often! Was just having my little two cents worth I’m the complete opposite, give me the things that might annoy people and let me try to gameplan around it. I enjoy the difficult courses and the challenges that come with them, even if there are infuriating moments along the way. In the end that’s why the schedulers jobs aren’t so easy, everyone has a different thought. Think here in Euro we do a good job of expressing those thoughts and opinions respectfully though. I think toddfather does an excellent job of mixing it up and providing a variety of difficulties and conditions so that nothing gets stale.

I do thank you guys for giving feedback in a respectable manor. Much appreciated. I always listen to your feedback and it does help me moving forward so keep it coming, whatever it may be. That being said, I do have a few courses in the hopper that will absolutely provide a mighty challenge to you guys.

Tasteful design (my opinion) and tough. I dig it. BTW check out "The Matchbox" Todd...very interesting.

Malibu Club is probably my favorite WCOD course I’ve played so far and I saw people roasting it on the pga board, some people you just can’t please I guess.

And I'll admit, I have passed on a tourney or two cause my putting, in almost every event, doesn't measure up to the skill of my peers. The screw ups are more mine than course-related in other words.

I said manufactured, and maybe you're saying you even like that, which is fine, but not sure we're "opposite..."

Yeah I often like it as long as it’s not getting too cartoony, but you’re right- opposite isn’t the right choice of words. More so was just driving home the fact that everyone has their own distinctly different opinion and how hard that makes the schedulers job.

I think toddfather is doing a great job with selections this season! Since we're discussing difficulty levels, as an xbox player, I prefer difficult, as in a lot of cases it helps even out our tempo issues. If everyone is struggling a bit it let's us get away with some errant shots. As for -20 at the cut courses, we have to be perfect, and that is unrealistic for the bulk of us xboxer's. I haven't teed off yet this week. Not sure if I will, I'll decide after work today. Looks like -18 will be playing this weekend.
