Major Championship Design Contest - The Results

[Crazycanuck1985]

Just an FYI that there will most likely be no final results show of any kind for this contest. My co-host has dropped out and to be honest...I've barely played any of these courses to have a real clue about what's going on here. Sorry.

My apologies Crazycanuck1985, that's on me brother.

I am compled to share an email I received today from a community member. I was working behind the scenes with this person to provide a unique prize to the winner of this year's CC contest. This member has rescinded that offer in light of the most recent developments. I have redacted the name of the member and the prize that was to have been offered (though I will say said person had no involvement in the Major contest, to dispel that theory) as that is not the point. What else he says in his email is:

"With all due respect, I am going to pull back from donating (prize redacted) to the contest. I'm simply not going to put myself out there and face what I see in the design community as disrespect to others who try to help.

It really doesn't matter what anyone does for good (run a contest, judge in a contest, offer to help design or just compete in a contest) it all seems to get poo pooed by so many."

In case anyone has forgotten, here are the stated tenets of TGCT design contests: 

1) to give designers, accomplished and novice alike, a platform to showcase their work while receiving honest & constructive peer reviews
2) to supply all TGC Tours schedulers with a plethora of tour-worthy courses for use in competition
3) to foster fellowship and camaraderie among the design community

By taking part in a contest, it is our responsibility to uphold these tenets. Obviously, depending on what your individual role is in said contest, you cannot control all three tenets at once, but contestants definitely can help to control Nos. 2 and 3 when they participate. It is my hope that contestants find it appropriate from time to time to judge, thus helping to uphold the first tenet.

Sniping, bickering and pettiness run smack against these tenets and paint the entire design community in a bad light. When we get PGA guys mocking us for our bad behavior -- think of the irony there -- that's not good folks. Nor is it good when people say, "No I don't want to help out your contest because I don't want to deal with the drama after."

I get it, things happen in the midst of battle. Feelings get hurt, the need to defend yourself arises, stuff gets said and posted that probably shouldn't. Been there myself. I'm not proud of it, but I have and I regret any toes that may have been trampled in the process. Things that have been said cannot be taken back. Bridges have been charred, if not completely burned to ashes. However, we can all resolve to do better going forward, to treat one another with respect and work together to promote this community in a positive manner. Frankly, as the TGC/PGA2K franchise grows larger, we need to band together to keep from being further marginalized in the grander scheme of this game. If anyone feels they are unable to do this, perhaps they should reevaluate their participation in these contests going forward. 

I'm saddened by this recent development. Because our anonymous non-donor has pulled their prize, I would like to offer one in their stead. It is not anonymous because I should obviously be heaped with praise.
I will award this prize to the CC contest designer that shows the most tenacity, fun trash talk and overall design skills, as judged by me (you think I trust judges??? lol).*
