Something's better than nothing.

[mattf27]

Okay, we're officially there. Group sizes in order ended up being 9, 11, 9, 10, 10, and 7. So, SebK has been moved from group 2 to group 6, and Lost Souls has been moved from group 5 to group 6. Now we're at 9, 10, 9, 10, 9, and 9, which is about as fair as I can make it. If you're in the "Nonfinishers" group and did in fact finish a course that I just missed, send me a message and we'll work things out. Thanks again to everyone who participated in this contest!

Timelines and requirements:

This contest is designed with Challenge Circuit level courses in mind, and will be judged with that in mind. There isn't an exact difficulty you need to aim at, but easier is generally better. 7,800 yard US Open courses are probably going to lose some points in judging. When submitting, please let us know which tee set you would like to use for judging. The contest tees do not have to be the back tees. Additionally, we will be doing required elements again this year. The designer should select 4 of the lsited elements to include in their course. Including more than 4 is absolutely allowed, however we will only be judging 4, so pick the the 4 you think highlights your course the best when submitting your entry. Once you are signed up, you are allowed to start your course. Submission window is open as of 7/16. Deadline is 8/31.

Required Elements:

At least one driveable par 4
At least one par 3 greater than 230 yards

At least one par 3 shorter than 125 yards

At least two holes with zero bunkers

A shared green (2 holes using the same green site)

A double green (A hole having two different green sites)

At least one blind tee shot
Four green sites each within 200 yards of each other. Measure from inside edge of each green (i.e. closest point to the others).
At least three par 4s under 400 yards
At least one three shot par 5
At least one template hole of your choice (please specify template used and provide a real world example!)
At least five par 5 holes
At least five par 3 holes
Total course yardage no greater than 6900
Either hole one or hole eighteen to be a par 3
Entire course to be contained in square/rectangular 1,000,000 yard area (e.g. 1000x1000, 800x1250 etc). Set a perimeter early.

Back to back par 3s or par 5s

At least two holes with a center-line hazard (tree, bunker, etc)

Augusta bunker challenge (no more than 22 bunkers on the course)

I don't have a submission form from him. So I'll need to receive that, and I'll add him back to the list.

I’m terribly sorry for not being able to get done in time! I know there’s probably not too many people out there sweating on me being done in time, but I was incredibly excited to bring you all my release. I just bit off a little more than I could chew, but I will keep working on it and hopefully be able to get the course out asap anyway. I look forward to competing again, hopefully with slightly better time management skills.

Keep working on it amd let us know when it’s done and ready for play. I ran into the same issues with DL2.3 and National Treasure courses.

Congratulations to all who could publish and these are some incredibly strong looking groups. Looking forward to playing all the entries now that my publish stress is over... for now!
