 One day. Twenty four hours. The challenge? Build a quality* golf course in TGC 2019. (* quality = approved by TGC Tours database). This Friday night, the attempt will be made. This is a challenge that has been on my radar for a while, dating back to the 2-hour challenge thread. I even had this weekend circled on my calendar as it coincided with annual week off of work at the start of the spring season. Logistics had been murky because of things that we had planned to do as a family during my vacation. Local concerns and gathering restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic freed up my calendar. So at 8 p.m. ET, the build will commence. I will have exactly 24 hours to build, from scratch, an 18-hole golf course -- from opening a new course in the designer to hitting the publish button. There’s no cause, or charity (though, if you feel obligated to open your wallet, may I suggest GoFundMe’s COVID-19 relief fund). Just me against myself, and the clock. Can it be done, and done to a level that meets TGCT approval? We’re about to find out together. The whole affair will be streamed live on my Twitch channel. Stop by, say hi, give suggestions (unless you’re Scobb … DAMMIT!). Get ready because, come Friday night, the clock is ticking ... |

I'll be tagging along with Mayo on this to give you guys an interesting multi-Twitch experience where you'll be able to see us both going through this at the same time, and you'll be able to talk to us both at the same time. More details to come!

What if we only want to talk to one of you?

A real question though, I'll be watching mostly on mobile, and find it super laggy when in a multi-stream. So if I'm just in one stream, do you both still get the chat?

I'd be disappointed if either of you only manage 'approved'. I'll definitely be around for a good amount of this madness.
Questions abound, however:
- How many pizzas will Eric order?
- What exactly is the over/under for 'quasi'?
- What percentage of the stream will be Victor Lane adjusting spline points?
- Where will Mayo put his famous 17th at Fisheye template?
- How many favours have you pulled in with your families in the name of designing an average golf course?
- Will they pull a Petty and playtest precisely zero of the course?
- Are we allowed to vote on which course is better? Bagsy judge one!
Look forward to it.

Questions abound, however: - How many pizzas will Eric order? 5 — 3 for himself, 2 for family - What exactly is the over/under for 'quasi'? 17.5 - What percentage of the stream will be Victor Lane adjusting spline points? 24.8% - Where will Mayo put his famous 17th at Fisheye template? In the KEG’s bunghole - How many favours have you pulled in with your families in the name of designing an average golf course? IDK, but Gretchen pulled some favors for me last night  - Will they pull a Petty and playtest precisely zero of the course? Life begins on yellow slopes!!! - Are we allowed to vote on which course is better? Bagsy judge one! We’ve got RMD lined up, so we’re good  Look forward to it. |

- How many pizzas will Eric order? At least 1, but can't promise it's not 2- What exactly is the over/under for 'quasi'? We aren't inviting PithyDoctorG to this party- What percentage of the stream will be Victor Lane adjusting spline points? A minimum of 37.1% of the time- Where will Mayo put his famous 17th at Fisheye template? Bend over and I'll show you- How many favours have you pulled in with your families in the name of designing an average golf course? I'll be sure to take care of my wife (and Mayo's), prior to Friday at 8pm- Will they pull a Petty and playtest precisely zero of the course? If I was half the designer that gamesdecent was, it would still be three times better than I am now- Are we allowed to vote on which course is better? Bagsy judge one! Do you really think I want any part of Mayo in a competition? Did you not play Failstatt North? |

You absolutely can NOT afford to playtest in a challenge like this.
