I'm 4 courses in on the tour - bit of a grind so far, but I'm not that good a player......... If I had to pick a favourite from the first quarter? Stisted Hall just has it's nose in front for me. I'll say this though - I'm glad I'm not on the judging panel..... looks like it's going to be a tough job!! Yah I've played the first 9 I believe and it could really go many ways from what I've seen, but definitely not surprised that pyates course is a front runner. Can't wait to see what the last 7 have in store |

Can't wait to see what the last 7 have in store I've played up to and including Totem... That's my front runner, there is plenty to be worried about from the competition as always, I'm certain I won't finish top of the heap. Looking forward to yours Chris, looks stunning from the pics |

Looking forward to yours Chris, looks stunning from the pics Yah totem was a sick track. Selke really blew me away too, I was just in awe playing that course. I'm 12 courses in now and just played Cackalcky, which was also an awesome course. I'm not an overly fussy guy when it comes to enjoying courses, so take it for what it's worth but I haven't played one I didn't enjoy yet. |

Well I've finished the tour, finished up at -145, I'm sure if Griffin plays the tour he'll beat that by 40, but hey it was a pretty good effort for me. This is my takeaway: Highlands is the most popular theme. It's amazing since they've added different textures, how different courses in the same theme can look. I'd say about half the courses have a good chance of winning, and maybe 10-12 have a good shot at top 3, this is just my observation though and we'll have to see what the judges think. There are some people that have some serious skills on that designer (we've known that for a while) You could tell there was a range of experienced designers to slightly newer designers or designers who just don't have the time to put 40+ hours into a course, but for me I had no issue taking 20 minutes to play each course, and enjoy what each had to offer. Well done all and best of luck. I have my top 3, but I'll keep that to myself for now, and just let the judges do their thing |

Still think it would be interesting to have a round table discussion amongst ourselves to see what each of us saw in each other's courses...but I might be being a masochist in that opinion. Lol |

Lol hahaha, I don't know if I want to know what everyone thinks of my course. It would be interesting if we somehow privately rated the courses like the judges were going to, and see how that lines up with what they end up deciding. Can you do a pole in the private messaging? One problem would be not everyone is going to play all the courses, I would imagine. |

Some of the holes are similar length but different angles and others are longer and more of a challenge though will say that I play tested in 1mph and it is possible to score, I tested the putting of each pin location and with practice made bird or got close for par on all greens. Since it's a desert course, the conditions had to be on the firm side though not max firm. The distance for the Sunday is I think around 7800 yds and if wind blows around 20mph in your face, this version will be evil. |

That would be the nail in many people's coffin headed to Sunday thinking they're going to win a tournament on that thing jeez!!! Mine stretched out and firmed up would play like something from a Stephen King movie if the winds get above about 12 on mine pack the clubs and go fishing |
