Absolutely agree with what bold and CD said. Great feedback and great experience for us novices. Already feel my 2.2 entry is better than 2.1, using what I learned from Ben, Wayne, and Matty as well as the other entries. Of course, the judges will be the final say in that, but I think my thought process and technique is improving.
Thank you for the play! I replied on the video, but ya mostly I just really value the feedback. As I said there, the bunker comment I got from matty as well, and I'd like to have carried that out on 18 (and maybe I will in the future), and at that stage it could possibly be more consistent...but I understand the styles clash. In other areas, I think you are on the money and I would have liked to spend more time to devote to have flushed out some of the planting. But overall this contest worked for me - it got my creativity going and I got some needed feedback from people who's opinion I value as a newcomer to this space. Thanks for the kind words where it mattered, and for the critique and feedback in areas where it mattered. I appreciate the honesty.
Oh and I know it's been said - but again huge props to the judges and content creators who helped showcase all of these entries. Absolutely love the community aspect to this contest.

The entrant thread has been updated with everyone that placed in the top 10 for the first contest! We are totally blown away by the amount of interest in this, and are looking forward to the rest of the year!
It really was very close, and there were a lot of entrants that almost snuck into the top 10. We aren't just saying that.

Everyone wins, as we've all learned and got better from competing.
Top 10! Wow. Didn't expect that - very happy with that result!
Massive congrats to the top 5 and MJM for winning. Great work everyone! Also, even if you weren't in the top 10, you guys still did a great job! #funandcasual
Blacktail Creek (DT 2024) - Team Matty (runners-up) The Hairy Lemon (collab with whodatmatt34) Old Kennebunk River (WCoD 2023) Jacquard Causeway (CC 2023) Elstead Heath GC Pequawket Basin GC (NT 2022, not good)
Great stuff all - safe to say the number of courses far exceeded our expectations and it's been a blast to be a part of. Huge props to @martyfromcanada for running this thing so well and TannerBronson for the initial idea - it's a great contest for newer designers and 6 holes is just perfect to get feedback on without investing too much time.
Thank you to everyone involved and judging this contest. I've played or watched all of the entries and don't envy those judging as there were many great entries. I am elated to be considered a top 10 in such a great field. I am also very grateful to be given advice on design that is based specifically on my design. The first installment has been fun and I anxiously await seeing what everyone comes up with moving forward.

Ah yes, meant to mention that my remaining playthroughs are all done and I'll keep releasing them daily - I think that leaves Q to bring us home on Thursday

and here I was hoping you forgot lol. It's weird because it's hard to look at the 6 hole version now that I've worked so hard to improve it with a later iteration. I know it's still decent but I cant personally stand to see it
HoneyBadgerHacker: Are there any rules to this shout box? Would be nice if it were just to announce published courses that would be fun to play or ideas or help to players or designers instead of constant complaints usually by the same person.

meunier33: I gave up on taking full swings after 3 weeks because I did not get the results you do.
Dec 4, 2024 16:58:57 GMT -5
meunier33: I expect that the less I touch the control, the better my swing will be.
Dec 4, 2024 16:13:59 GMT -5
meunier33: I don't control how hard or soft I push down on the swing stick. I don't even know if this matters

sroel908: I hope you find what you're looking for, and get something out of 2K23 or the older games that can give you the experience you want.

meunier33: I really need to start from zero somehow and get rid of all the weird play habits I have.

sroel908: I'm sorry, I try to be as understanding as possible...but this never-ending cycle is really tiresome.

sroel908: Again, no idea what can be said anymore, or what you're looking for when posting here. Every post turns into talking in circles. If it's not the game mechanics, it's the controller, or connection, unless it's an injury, or the course or the rangers...

meunier33: That is what people don't get, I can't understand advice. I can only understand someone showing me what they are doing in playing a round with me.
Dec 4, 2024 15:43:21 GMT -5
sroel908: Then I guess you might need to find a new game to play, or should go back to playing 2K21 or something. I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been offered as advice to you here dozens of times.

meunier33: sroel908: I can play the game as it was designed and I will not improve at all, your controller and connection controls how good you are at the game.

ghostgoblin22: oldmangaming606:spare me the hard work take, im in the oilfield, i work 14-16 hours a day and come home and try and play a fair course and you guys put this crap on the schedule, and yes i haven't been playing, just like half of the members of tgc

bubbadave: Uggh. Boards are starting to get spammed.
Dec 4, 2024 12:32:49 GMT -5
sroel908: meunier33: You've admitted you don't play 2K23 as its designed, so it shouldn't be a surprise that you're struggling with parts of it.

meunier33: The biggest stat that stands out to me in this game is that my GIR% is only 61, and has been for all of 2K23. I'm not sure how to improve this.

OldManGaming606: ghostgoblin22 Dude, How unappreciative do you have to be to not acknowledge the time and effort the people associated with TGCTours invest for us to enjoy the game. Nobody is forcing you to play. But the verbal abuse is unacceptable.
Dec 3, 2024 15:52:54 GMT -5
meunier33: Im seeing a lot of new courses recently that have greens that will roll your ball off the green even if you are very close to the hole
Dec 3, 2024 13:33:41 GMT -5
OldManGaming606: Some of us struggling putting on greens regardless of how slow or fast the greens are.
