Hi all, As your Catcherman Cup winner, I get to pick the course and conditions for our DB Ryder Cup. I am open to suggestions as far as the course goes - I will pick conditions though! π So, given that US is hosting this time, let me have your suggestions on a suitable, challenging but not unfair, preferably water-rich, US course. Iβll make a decision later today, so hurry up... π Best wishes Frans Whistling Straits by craig118 for me Frans just so we can see what the real Ryder Cup boys would have played.

This is going to be a rather tougher week!! That bunker in front on the 18th green looks a killer. Perhaps Water Boy is turning into Sand Boy!!

Stumbled around for the 1st round. Two highlights, dropping a 20 footer with a 2 foot swing for eagle on the 1st and a bogey free round. The amount of off tempo shots and/or wonky shots is driving me nuts. Gonna go pro clubs for next round, just for the hell of it. -9 SkyBlueBen

Played last 3, all of them with the pro set. Dare I say I had a bit of fun for a change? Had 1 slow downswing and 2 fast downswings for all 3 rounds combined. Even had the occasional putt drop here and there. Round 2, wind was howling for the 1st half or so, made it to the club house with -9 again. Few holes played really long with the pro set. Round 3, firm and fast, pfft, tough greens and conditions, happy sorta with -8 Round 4, no wind, good scoring conditions - bar a few nutter pins - made 2 bogeys in scoring -12 -38, gives a six! shot lead on early days pc leader board. (very early days) Feels, probably is, a loooong time ago when I changed to master clubs and decided i'll never go back to pro again, honestly, at this point i'll be very content to play the pro set for the foreseeable future at least. Good luck all, esp the Water people! SkyBlueBen

Fran's post regarding Ryder Cup course is on bottom of previous page. As I was clicking to next page I was thinking "what about Whistling Straits for a venue. When I arrive at the next page I see Ben's post naming the very course I had in mind. SkyBlueBen I think if two ROW players mention the same course it's highly UNlikely to get the nod

Good luck all, esp the Water people! SkyBlueBen Must admit I've had a few goes at Masters on PC and it just seems so random. Gave that malarkey up a long time ago. Quite happy playing with my girly clubs. If I want a challenge there's plenty of things in real life to cover that angle. I play pixel golf purely for fun!!

Dear SkyBlueBen , lΓ©if Kopplabunzerten, dear interested reader, what a nice challenge after those few weeks with somewhat easier courses! Saxondale has evil traps on almost every hole. Approaches are everything since you're in trouble as soon as you land on the wrong tier. However, even if you hit the fairway off the tee, the lie further complicates the right choice of clubs, which is already difficult due to the height differences. I can confirm that Crazy Croc 's PC lead still holds by the same margin. Nevertheless, I'm quite happy with four consistent rounds of -7, -10, -7, -7for a combined total of -31. In my view, the only minor point is that the scores of rounds 2 and 3 should be interchanged, as I had plenty of luck in round 2 (started with an eagle on 1 and a hole-in-one on 3), whereas I had many close misses for birdie in round 3. Still, it goes without saying that I'll take my overall score any day.
Good luck and allez Kopplabunz!

New season, same MO. Chasing and trailing Marc Crazy Croc on the PC Leaderboard. Blowing a hoolie out there and to be honest very pleased to find myself only trailing Marc by 1 shot and that was down to a comedy 3 putt for a Humphrey, my only real mistake. Round 1 in at -8
