I have populated the score sheet with the round 1 matchups. Captains it would be good if you could get round two pairs to me by Tuesday, so you have had time to see how day one turned out. Obviously some people are going to play their matches earlier than the actual day, but it would be good if they did not post their rounds until the TGC scoreboards do (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri).
Go Get Em teams and good shooting!

Played a practice round at the Cup course today. Its a pretty fun course so should be good for the Cup!! You don't see many Steppe theme courses (I think that's what it is).
And I had absolutely no idea where to hit the ball off the 10th tee. I ended up with 175 to the green for my 3rd shot into the par 5 so maybe I did something wrong. I'll have to figure that one out. I'm also a bit worried I may have used up all my birdies. I don't shoot very many 61s so hopefully I've still got some birdies in the tank

First round is in at -3. Ahhh I played so well to have that be my score. The wind was tough and seemed to be into my face every time it was a long par 3 or 4. I had 6 birdies but suffered from a costly double on #17. Just got into a bad spot and had to chip twice to get it on the green. Then I 2 putted from about 5 feet. The good news is that I was hitting the ball and putting so well. Just couldnt dial in the distance for a lot of the shots and was also faced with a lot of 175-200 yd approach shots Let's go Bum Rushers! sandsaver01 Edit: Still no idea how to play the 10th hole

Will have my rounds done tomorrow am. Not planning on playing today on a Sunday morning when my tempo is all over the place with the official society events being played by many people all at once. Starting to whittle my demotion marks away and don't want to add more.
Will blow off a couple practice rounds though just to keep my rhythm focused.

The 10th will be driver-7i-5i pretty much every time unless you got a good tailwind to help you cross the great divide.

Can someone help me understand this.
This was yesterday and just remembered about it playing a practice round a few minutes ago and came up to this hole.
I was experimenting with playing the fairway to the right to see if I can shorten the distance into the green to make it in 2.
I got a dreaded red slow. It put me all the way back to where I started, no OB message and I never hit the bumper to go back to my previous position.
Has anyone experienced this one before?

Art you can post them if you want, but for day 1 I need hole-by-hole scores so I will have to wait until TGCTours posts those on Monday before getting them to copy into the sheet. Pro players as always have to post their hole-by-hole scorecards for days 1,2 and 4.

sandsaver01Rd 1 is in. Putting and pace were subpar, but managed not to fudge things up too badly. This is a tough course, good one for the Cup in my opinion. I've played 3 rounds and I can't ever seem to get anything going on the first 6 holes or so. If you can hit it straight, grab a long driver (I can't...). Oceanic Rd1 imgur.com/gallery/ejcRxXA

@soylenlabs Tim, I will 'tag' the designer and let him explain it to us if he knows. TeeeJ9798 Please look at the shot a few posts above this. It's just 'Snott' right! I hit into this stuff a few times and had to hack it out but did not have to replay.

I guess you hit the button somewhere in the process to take you back to the previous shot or the game felt you don’t get a drop?

Ok thanks TeeeJ9798Weird it reacted that way. I knew I never hit any button. That's why I checked the caddy book several times at the end wondering what the F.. was going on. Not complaining or anything it was just a weird occurrence for me that left me scratching my head. And billybudd0623For tagging him. I would never have thought to do that. lol --- Don't know why these designers have to put water, sand, trees, rocks where my ball is going to land. Like you think I have any control over where the thing is going to go? Above is said in jest..lol

The 10th will be driver-7i-5i pretty much every time unless you got a good tailwind to help you cross the great divide. John, the tenth is a redonculous hole! I am not sure anything but a 20 mph tailwind would give you a chance in two; anyway I parred it with D-7I-6I. That and the large number of elevated table-top greens caused me to lower my rating. Could not get anywhere close to the hole for the first seven, finally got some action on eight and nine, finished with a -6 for the round. At least I was bogey-free for a change.
