Been thinking about entering this. Wasn't sure if I should give this a go or not as I've yet to release a course and this would theoretically only be my second course if I did enter. Haven't got an ice-cubes chance of winning but sod it, count me in.

Going to be a full time job for the judges to play all the courses if there is even a 50% submission ratio....

Would seem that way, U.S. Open style courses for Days...

Least at the end of it there should be a nice glut of Tournament worthy venues to host other TGC events.

Just a heads up, there is a discrepancy on the e-mail that went out regarding the Harvest theme:

What does this mean?

* We are looking to feature a difficult course that foregoes trickery for the US Open.

* Preference will be given to Par 70s and Par 71s over Par 72s.

* "Traditional" style golf courses are encouraged here, with tree-lined fairways, medium-firm/fast greens (that still hold shots), and length is a requirement (7000+ yards minimum). *

* Courses that severely penalize misses will be preferred here. Maybe very little light rough and more heavy rough around the fairways.

* The player's greatest challenge should be executing shots, especially long approach shots into the greens.

* Theme preference will be Boreal, Countryside, Rural, Harvest & Links

* Desert and Alpine themed courses will not be considered. 


Points To Remember

- Courses that are 7000+ yards and play to 70 or 71 par are preferred

- Only submit one edition of your course. DO NOT submit courses that say Thursday, Saturday, etc pin placement. Only the 3 finalists will be asked to do this

- 3 finalists will receive exemptions to the US Open

- We will NOT consider courses that are designed with the Desert, Autumn, Alpine, or Harvest theme

Yeah, this is because Harvest theme was originally being included but then later it was decided it wasn't right for the time of year the tournament was being held. So therefore removed.
