I hope I only have to write this once Taylor - a "Heaven" round should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER have 119 greens! Totally ruins (well tempo issues get some blame) an otherwise pleasant round one at California Tour Club. inb4 Taylor confirms 108 greens next heaven round... Great... Now we will get rainbows and unicorns, ugh.

Shot even par in the hell round (bogeyed the last two holes too dammit). The lesson after the -1 heaven round...calibrate your swing from time to time, kids.

Totally ruins (well tempo issues get some blame) an otherwise pleasant round one at California Tour Club. And yet you wrote it three times? Also, that's personal preference. Yeah, they might not be to your taste, but will work for others who play the career mode a ton. Let's avoid absolutes when it's opinion-based. I'm fine with you putting 119s if you reckon it suits, Taylor. Haven't played this week's yet, but thought you nailed week 1 so I'm looking forward to it. To be really clear, I have no issue with you saying " I personally didn't like them", but it's another to say "this should never happen" and state it as if it's fact.

Ben, it was CLEARLY a personal opinion, I have no control over what Taylor does with his league. Unlike some, I don't think I am that powerful that I have to reply with snarky comments to posts.

Do feel free to point out the part where you're not posting it as a must and it is a personal opinion. Ranting at a society organiser who gives up their free time to do something doesn't sit well with me, but if you want to contrive that as me wielding some unseen power, go ahead.

You won, Ben - I'm out. Your choice and not what I'm going for. I just don't get why you can't see it would have been better to post 'Enjoyed it but can we please not put 119 greens in future?' rather than the never, never, never in increasingly aggressive caps.

I see what you are saying Ben, but I was a little irritated and lashed out a bit. You can go ahead and reply to this if you need to get the last word, I promise I will not reply to your reply.

Lol good to see some banter. Appreciate the support Ben. Sandsaver I wasn’t offended and I certainly understand there are a few opinions around here. I’ve been doing this four seasons and I’ve seen it all.
Look some weeks people are going to go crazy and hate everything and other weeks people will love it. The bottom line is I don’t really care.
This society was born from a concept that I liked because I had seen it applied in real life and I think it’s a lot of fun. I set the tournament up as best I can where I think it will be fun and if it’s a homerun great if not well there’s always another week.
Participation is voluntary. Nobody has a gun to their head to play this.
Carry on.

Well partner, I have just been through Hell! It was a lot of work to finish the round at +1, but I made a lot of putts, and only had a couple of tempo disasters so I was happy enough. The drastic elevation changes with the high winds made figuring out what club to use and where to aim a challenge, but I guess that is what Hell is all about. We will get them next week for sure .

Heaven: Horrible start without a single birdie on first 4 holes then a big run to make a good score. Hell: Very good front 9 under 3 ! Then struggled for 5 par in a row. But 2 times in the wrong side of the greens cost me 2 points on final 4 holes.

So not a bad week for us mate
Heaven: I hit really good both rounds Hell: At the moment my putting skill is just ridiculous
Lot of work to do keep going
Awesome Nick!!! I only did slightly better this week (+1 total). Really struggling with tempo these days. I see you got 14 under this week. Great show!!! Hoping I can improve and get some scores in the red going forward.
