Welcome to week 48 and the first week of the plat playoffs. This week's course is by a fellow (rather mysterious) plat player Jake Abrahamian who doesn't even have a single post in the forums, he strictly comes in, plays his plat rounds and then designs and submits courses without a word. This course is heavily inspired by Sheep Ranch at Bandon Dunes in Oregon and is a completely sandless course, instead featuring tight undulations and grass bunkers. Things to note: The greens this week are fairly soft to compensate for some of these pins being the stuff of nightmares so be aware you can aim closer to the flag some days this week

Finally. The week has come. At your convenience, please youtube ram ranch with earphones/headphones on, no kids around, and probably on incognito mode. WARNING VERY NSFW LMFAO

Still here… 😎😎😎
As for this week’s tournament: Dif I already mention I loved last week’s course because it rewarded good shots and punished bad ones…
-7 after two rounds and red thingies coming my way Would hate for this week the be the start of the end of my ambition to be here for a full season but it very well might be.
Good luck all, Frans

-9 +4 See y'all next season! Good luck! About the same here. 187’s in R2 killed me. Too many short misses followed by 50 something foot comebacks. Already tough pin placements. Alright I’ll stop my griping. 🤣

Alright I’ll stop my griping. 🤣 Yeah I had two triples but the triple on the par 3 5th derailed everything. Fasted into the right to left winds and off the cliff.

I'm all for tough golf courses and really like this one. However, when you continually hit really good shots and trickle them over a ridge and the balls run by the hole and off the green, that could not have been the intention of this designer. It happened about 4-5 times. The problem with that is the someone could hit a bad shot and walk off with the exact same score. I am sure there will be a few good scores on it but just didn't feel rewarding on 187 greens. I'll admit, I let that start getting to me as the round went on. -14 and -8 for a -22 at the cut. Probably the best I have played in the past 5 weeks was the bad part. Oh well, not the end of the world I suppose.

Oh well, not the end of the world I suppose. yup, pretty quickly after I scheduled it I realized it was a mistake on my part and the greens were overcooked, apologies! With the help of a second scheduler im hoping to set a lot more of a consistent schedule next year as I made some rookie blunders throughout this season. Live and learn I guess

You’ve done a good job this year. It’s hard to get everything correct. At least we know you weren’t just trying to break our will haha. I’m going to invest in PlayStation controller stock in the morning in case a few new purchases need to made after this though 🤣

Just saw Doyley’s message. My -7 won’t make the cut so that’ll be it for me for this season. A shame it ended with such a frustrating round but no hard feelings towards Q; it’s a tricky job (as I know all too well now). And… the good news is: I’ll be here for the start of the new season! 😎😎😎 Best wishes Frans

The goal is simple: Make the cut or my first full season is over.
Game on.
