A bit hard to get motivated to play well on a course like this. What is happening with CC courses this season.

Can I just say the courses chosen for OFTR and Knockout this week were first class and tons more enjoyable than the CC offering. Just my personal opinion. Les needs to send his list of courses to the CC scheduler.

I'm going to avoid bashing the scheduler as as much as I can. It's a tough job I get that. And certainly try not to bash a course directly, never have.
But why do we need to use only courses from the TGCTours database. Us rangers for Brew crew step outside that little world. I get my picks from the "completed courses" section of this site. Sure, you may have to play a few duds here and there, but most courses in there are very worthy of being on tour here and would expand the range of options and provide a change of look, feel, playability and overall enjoyment factor. May be a little more time and effort in selection but the benefit outweighs the "locked into a certain type of course from the same designers over and over" thing.
I'm tired of the "didn't I just play this hole?" feeling I get a lot. Even on a new week, new course.
Now it's Knockout and One for the Road time for me.
Later all

Maybe I need to enter one of the course design contests before I get one of my courses selected for tours that seems to be the meta these days. While I’ve never considered my courses to be top quality I don’t think mine and the other designers in brew crew are that far of being good enough to play at least CC level.

On the elite tour a couple of weeks back they used Pinehurst No2 for the Scotland Open why? There’s even an official course in game for the Scottish Open why didn’t they use that it wouldn’t have infringed any copyright I’m sure.

I made the cut last week so I’m at 50% 😂 hoping I can make another this week I’m trying to stay in kinetic at least until the seasons end. Edit: I imagine -20 should be ok Trevor

I've missed the first one by a shot and last week by two shots I think but I don't seem to have picked up a demo mark yet. I could be in Kinetic forever at this rate without making it past the cut.

The demo marks only come into force if your a certain number of shots behind the leader, I missed the cut first week by three but just avoided a demo.

The thing that puzzles me regarding CC course selection is driven by our fellow Crewers who have risen to the Pro ranks. They often espouse the joys of playing a wonderful course even if conditions are trickier. Couldn’t the schedulers put that week’s Kinetic course on CC simultaneously with easier conditions? Give us lower level golfers a more enjoyable experience. Who do I write to?

I think it's a case that schedulers could learn a lot from hmammoth and his ability to choose courses without consulting the boys club.

The admin of this site are friendly with the HB Team. They have even gone on golf trips together. Can they not ask them for ONE more official TGCTours society. One, just one. Split CC A-D use Kinetic or Elite courses even. If the given course for the week is deemed to hard for CCA/D then lighten up the conditions a bit. Lower winds, slower greens. Not much if any extra work would be put on the schedulers as the courses are being tested for Kinetic and Elite anyway. Used to be the mindset that the higher cc tiers were a training ground to get us ready for the pro tours. Now its just birdie fest after birdie fest, week in week out. Give us a challenge for F sakes. I understand the reasoning to have easier playing courses for the lower CC. This would solve that, allowing for tougher courses for the higher CC tiers. Keeping everyone happy. This is all assuming there is a next year. Get donating people or we will be left holding our dicks with no TGCTours at all. Not much time left and only 40% of the donation goal has been reached.Now off to play Roads.
