😃 Nail on the head lol. In all honesty, I’d love it if we didn’t have to use that trick as much as a way of making angles matter. Problem is that even on firm greens you can put backspin on a full wedge so that it reverses back up a downslope. Until they fix that (fingers crossed), you’re kinda limited to making people hit longer clubs in from the same angle or pushing into pitch territory where there’s more of a run out. Laying up to leave a full wedge is a strategy in real life, so I quite like that option. Spin generally needs completely reworking in the new game - the fact that you can’t properly short side yourself due to lofted lob wedges kills a lot of design strategy right off the bat. your other d|ck move trick that I love is the short Par 5 that leaves a 190-210y 2nd shot- but there's no way to get that approach within 75' of the pin after roll out- do you have the wherewithal to suck it up and hit 2 wedges (wedge layup, wedge approach) or take your chances with a crazyassputt? I scheduled BSV for large society last week- which didn't go over very well... even in dumbed down conditions (low wind, s/f greens) they couldn't get their arms on how to approach the greens... and a few times I lol'd when i wasn't thinking off the tee- ended up 30y from the pin and dead. Ha, if it's the BSV 18th then it's my absolute favourite hole design where if you challenge the left side off the tee and risk the fast into the water then you have a shot at the pin in two, but if you bail right from the tee and take the easy route, you are in stupid second shot territory. That hole design pops up on pretty much every single one of my courses somewhere - usually as a par five so that people can lay up, but BSV was all out FU if you're timid, so it was a perfect par four 18th. For other renditions, see: Greenstone 15th, Kaiuma 8th, Hollingbourne 15th, Old Ainsdale 17th and probably a few others I'm forgetting. It's become my little calling card

Crazy how the smallest mistakes are magnified on this setup. Bogeys (and pars) are a killer

I know it’s a super easy setup, but -78 is really well done. Very difficult to go through that many holes without hitting a rough patch.

Finished up rd's 3 and 4 but my putting was just a bit off; rd 3 had 9 putts either lip-out or shave the edge, too many pars including one of the short par 5's for a -12. Round 4 mea culpa, I'm not worthy, I had a bogey . Missed another 5 or 6 puts that I should have made; turning what could've been a great rd into just an ok one at -17. It doesn't feel right being disappointed with a -60 total, pretty sure I'll never have one again ; hopefully that keeps me off the bottom of the Cow Hunt board up mup kupen nupGood luck to those yet to finish. Maybe next week Doyley will set up a mini-golf event for us.
