Here is a interesting fact about this week’s designer. There has been more death threats, assassination plots, rude graffiti and deals with the devil made against this designer than any other person here on the tours. In fact, one rather clever person has even made a fortune selling voodoo dolls in his likeness. Yes, this week we have a course by mattf27. For those that don’t know, Matt is one of the main course reviewers on the tour, which means he has the power to shatter the dreams of many a designer. There has been plenty of cases of where a new designer has spent hours, sometimes as much as five hours on a course only to have Matt come along with his rubber stamps and deem it not approved. Here’s the good bit though, after the course has not been approved, Matt then points them towards a collection of tutorial videos made by himself and his other reviewer crony b101 which they sell to them for the low price of 49.99 or they could buy the premium package for 74.99 which includes them talking shite about the course in a live stream.Some people would call this a conflict of interest, I would call it a scam but that is designers for you. As a scheduler here, I have to deal with designers all the time, put up with there moods, their ridiculous demands. This also includes having to play nice when I want to use their courses such as wine and dine with them during negotiations. Once I took Matt out to eat, after we had ordered and the food had arrived, out came a note book and the rubber stamps. Even after just the first bite of his taco, he started writing notes, he commented on the ingredients, the shape of the taco, what he liked and what he did not like before stamping the note with his approved stamp. He then made my driver, go through the drive through again, hand over the note to the staff and informed them about his taco making video tutorials which they could buy for the low price of 49.99 or they could by the premium package which included the making of enchiladas for just 74.99. Get this, once the negotiations were completed, he stamped the back of my hand tour worthy I am proud to say, and then offered to sell me his scheduling tutorial videos for the discounted price of 39.99 as a reward for picking one of his courses, or the premium package which includes tips on how to deal with egocentric designers for just 59.99. I politely declined. I feel sorry for his family, when his kids are finished their homework, it needs to be submitted to the homework database for approval. I hear the kids teachers are sick to death of receiving homework with big red stamp marks covering the pages but let’s be positive here, it’s great to see a father take such a interest in their kids school work and on top of that, they get a family discount on his series of homework tutorial videos including the premium package which has bonus videos on homework presentation. It’s not just his kids that have to deal with his ways, his wife also needs the Matt stamp of approval, especially on nights out. Each outfit she decides to where has to be scrutinised before it can be stamped, she does get some strange looks walking down the street later when people see her clothing stamped but when she had that tour worthy stamp, she walks with her head held high and she has told me, ever since she purchased the how to dress for a night out tutorial videos for 49.99, she has been getting more and more tour worthy stamps. I suppose this shows the videos work, anyway, she is going to buy the premium package soon for just 74.99 as they include tutorials on weddings, funerals and other family occasions. She unfortunately does not qualify for the family discount as she married into the family, the discount is for blood relatives only. Anyway, good luck everyone playing this week, I hope the course meets your approval, if it does, replica Matthew Fritsch stamps are available to purchase in the clubhouse, along with the traditional not approved, approved and tour worthy red stamps, for this week only you can get the limited edition blue stamps featuring the words, garbage, average and it’s like playing a Matthew Fritsch course stamps. You can find these stamps in the clubhouse right next to Matts how to play on The Korn Ferry tutorial videos for just 49.99, or the premium package which includes the popular how to be promoted hints and tips section for just 74.99.

Daniel's Post - not approved This one was close for me, as there's all sorts of quality content in there, but the post was a little too long, and took too much time to get to the point. Also, there were lots of surfacing issues with it, and it only had one pinset.
In all seriousness though, I got a hearty laugh out of it.

Well I'm back for more punishment, because why not? And to be fair I've totally stunk it up the last couple of weeks but have avoided a demo mark due to the numbers dwindling. Only to be expected with a new game just around the corner and this season winding down. This course definitely suits my golf bag, I removed a wedge to get more coverage at the top end and you certainly need it on this track! Made a nice start, birdied the first two and then made a couple of decent saves before birdies at 6 and 7 got me to -4. I've got previous with the par 5 6th, I recognised it straight away. Me and moneyman273 took a 10 there in our Friday night alt shot a little while ago, falling in to the trap of going for the green with driver and hitting that OOB down the left. I got the driver out, had a flash back, shuddered uncontrollably, put the driver back in the bag and got my hybrid out! What do you know, made birdie! Left myself in the wrong post code on the 8th green and made a pretty average 3-putt bogey which derailed the early momentum, and 4 pars in a row later I'm still only -3 for the round. But played well from there, managed the course well, some nice approaches, a couple of nice putts including succeeding where I'd failed on 8 at 15, lagging an 80 footer up the hill for a kick in par. That was the only par in the last six, 5 birdies meant I ended with a pretty decent 64 and a fairly healthy position on the early leaderboard. Happy with that

Happy with that Glad you warned our fellow Ferry’s about #6. The OB by the green is most definitely in play.

Lol c6vette2010, you're welcome! Thing is, everything takes the ball that way. Foot lie is right to left, wind is right to left, and the slope if you miss the green is right to left. I think we actually carded a 12 while our opponents were sat there wondering when they would get a turn! 😂 If we get the opposite wind I may be tempted.... Edit: Looking at the hole stats there's been 5 bogeys and 8 doubles so far on a reachable par 5 so I'd say it's caught a few!

Crazy second round! Couldn't have started worse, hit a fast in to 1 which left me above the pin in the rough, clumsy chip rolled off down the slope and my first putt ended back at my feet. Double bogey 6, brilliant. Thought I'd got one of them straight back but lipped out my birdie putt at 2 at dead weight and then dropped more shots at 3 and 4, +4 thru 4. At this point I'm done for the week.
And then I reached the turn at -1, didn't see that coming! Five lovely birds in a row after that horror start and I'm back in the game with my head on. Played the back nine well enough to card a 66 for -14 at the cut, I reckon that's enough. I hope so, I need a few fake quid to get in to the top 50 on the money list. Not used to playing four rounds these days, I'm going to have to shuffle my schedule!
I like this course, it's not easy but it's totally fair. As my round shows, there's trouble out there but there's also birdies to be had. Good luck all!

Well things started with such promise. -4 through 5 and feeling good. Then I hit 6. Got a rough bounce left and into the OB. Then on 7 I think I grabbed the last piece of rough on the right to keep my ball up above the big slope so went quickly from -4 to -1 and then never really recovered. I had some nice shots but bring your accuracy on this course and I just was that little bit off that didn't allow more good birdie chances. This was a major design entry so you have to expect things to be more difficult and tight plus you need to be on to score well. Its a nice challenge so I think fits really well here. Without my R1 poor scores on 6 and 7 I think I'm sitting at -14 and sticking around for the weekend but I only have myself to blame for an early exit.
Good luck to all!

I've been just sneaking into the weekend the last few events. Haven't found any consistency at all.
Came out this week and went -8 and -10 to start. Will for sure see the weekend and hoping to keep that up for a high finish.

Had some really strange swings in this one. Driver in the blue stripe but the shot pulls 8 yds left. It happened multiple times and almost always led to a bunker off the tee. Weird. Both rounds had multiple bogeys and it just left me shaking my head. Cut missed and on to next week.

Nothing special in rounds 3 and 4, except for the fact that I actually got to play them.
Third round I was immaculate tee to green over the front 9 but couldn't hole a putt, missed a couple of 7 footers over the first 4 holes and then had a highlight reel 3-putt from 8 feet on 8. The greens are slippery but I was back to starting them off on the wrong line, so frustrating. I then got a little ragged and was only E thru 15, but a birdie eagle birdie finish salvaged a 68 for the round. @jaemmer89 That -14 is an amazing round given the course and conditions, great shooting!
Fourth round I couldn't get anything going at all and ended up just speeding through it for a 72, and -18 for the week. Doesn't really matter, happy to finally erase that last demotion mark and guarantee finishing this season on this tour. Only realistic target now is to try and qualify for the second playoff event, the Tour Final is probably beyond me and my wonky putter. See you next week!

Katagawa CC seems to be quite the challenge so far! Currently ranking 6th among the Korn Ferry courses this season.

I just squeezed in rounds 1,2. I am all over the place tbh. My hometown and all. After blowing a lead last week I gave myself some time off. Shot -8, but didn’t deserve it, then a -5 which was just about right. I’ll make the cut and hang on to my promo so that’s good. I really don’t think this course is all that tough. Maybe 4 pins a round are no no’s but the rest is green light stuff. Now I made the cut so it’s fair to say I should back up my words and I will have a chance in round 3 and 4. I’m not saying Matthew’s course is a easy one but you can go low. GL to those at the top.
