Afternoon folks I am the creator of this course you all are playing this week... Honestly, I think the fairways are plenty wide. I'm assuming most other Web players are like me; when I'm swinging well, I can usually land my tee shots within a 5 yard circle, even in 12mph+ winds. If these fairways were any wider, you'd see scores of -70 this week. Most course designs in this game are much too generous with landing areas on fairways IMO. Other than having HB decrease the swing cone, fairway width is one of the few ways to make a player think before hitting their tee shots. However, I do think the fairways on many holes, should've been extended closer to the tee boxes. I haven't played any tourney rounds, but there were a couple holes in practice rounds where my drives barely reached the fairway in 10-14mph winds. I think adding a little more undulation and speed to the greens would also make this course better. Overall, I really like the layout, and look forward to this week's tourney rounds. Not my favorite venue thus far, but it's definitely worthy of hosting a TGCT event... well done Mr. Grayson! **PS, if you decide to publish a new version of Hickory Nut Hollow with any changes, I must suggest you update the course name. Any "Appalachian American" in these parts, will tell you the correct dialect is: Hickory Nut Hollow Hick'ry Nut Holler lol.

I don't see the web.com tour via tours on the game am I missing something? The pin locations are in the same locations all 4 days this week, so the event will be under "Tournaments". The only time you'll find a TGCT event under "Tours", is when it's a multi pin setup.

Finally got my game turned back around this week. The easier course, winds, and greens helped but I'll take it anyhow.
63, 64, 59, 61
-41

Oh for the day a 62 is my worst score! Great shooting again. Send me a postcard from the PGA! Have you played yet rob? I see you had some nice practice rounds Just finished round 3. You left so many shots since the start of the tourney! We both missed sitters on 9! Hopefully hold it together for last round

Decent event for me. Not challenging, but my goals each week are to be in top 20. I think I am going to be close...
I definitely left a bunch of shots out there (lip outs and i had about 5 of the 0FT putts as well, but overall, I was pleased with how things went. Winds were a little more tameable, and if you hit good approach shots, putting was very manageable.

Just finished the first round... shot a personal best -16 56. I still left at least 3 shots out there, missed a couple putts inside of 10 feet lol. Since the winds are similar every round, I'm hoping to keep the momentum going the next 3 rounds.

Well I jinxed myself lol. I started off the 2nd round by driving into the water on #1 (managed to save par). I was even par after 8, but brought it back to -9. Played waay too aggressive the 2nd round and it cost me at least 4-5 strokes. The wind was quite gusty for me as well, staying around 12-16mph. It's going to be quite a challenge to try and best -50, which sounds like the score to beat so far?

I shot -9, -8, -12 and -10 for a total of -39. I'm convinced there's a bug when it comes to hitting a shot over water. The amount of times it didn't go 100% over water I had to laugh in the end when I watched the 6th ball go in the water over 4 rounds. Every other shot was fine. Hopefully this swing fix will be in soon. Good luck to the rest of you
