Haha, you guys know I was kidding, was just trying to lighten things up a little in there, was starting to feel a little serious. It certainly is a tough task you guys have here, and I just hope noone is taking anything personally. I'll save my laughter or praise for your results in the CC until I see what you've done to me in this So you are one of the judges in that? Hah. They bring in anyone to cc these days Lol...he's competing in this contest. |

Well back to the contest I guess. Man bit of a shocker here today (for me at least), I had Totem somewhere in my top 5, but I'm also not a big believer in the band of rough around the bunkers being that important in most cases, which seemed to be one of the reasons for Totem's result, but that is a debate for another thread (maybe Buzzards Wake's thread reebdoog ). This just once again shows the depth in the quality of the contest, when a couple people have it top 5, I've even heard top 3 and it ends up 11th, and I'm sure when the top 3 are announced, some people would've had a couple of those courses around 10th. Great entry Anthony, and buckle up everyone, the next 10 days are going to be interesting  . |

As I said to Ola in other post (my CC completed course entry - go check the course), these competitions make you design the best of your capabilities, and as I delivered a really good course, I already feel a winner. If now the judges find it worth some kind of prize, cool, if not.... I already won. For me it's a win-win situation. |

Not sure why I find that so funny that you decided to share that information with us, but I do  . For me I'd have to say a little excited, just pooped a little when you said the 1 in 3 thing. I actually got out and played my course for the first time in a while last night and overall I'm still happy with the course and certainly enjoyed making it, so however she shakes out is all gravy from here. |

Web.com Design Contest 9th Place
Westering Home by Adam Hill
Highest Individual Placing : 8th
Pro:
Technical aspect of the course was on point. The Sculpting of the full plot was excellent and the course played like a dream. Planting although minimalist was very well executed and the course put up a really good challenge. The wide fairways were a plus on this course as it lets the golfer make real decisions on where to put the ball to get the best angle towards the green which is important around here. Another Tour Stop for one of the tours I would hope. Con:
This is another excellent designed course by Adam, but it just seemed very safe. All that was done was done to a high standard, but the course just left me wanting more. Best way to explain it as worded by Moe "You know that feeling you get after watching a Coen Brothers movie like No Country For Old Men or Burn After Reading?" We'll that's how we felt. It was excellent start to finish but left you thinking; What else could be done to make it spectacular? "Also the choice of Surfaces had me thinking Grizzly bear Orgy for some reason" Moe added (must be the new meds). On a more direct note we think the course would have been better in firm conditions. All greens seems to be designed for firm as they reminded us very much of Adam's Olympic entry. Firming it up wouldn't make too much of a difference to the toughness of the course, but we think it would make the contours of the green play better. Summary:
Adam is known for his tough and super punishing courses, but this one does not entirely fall in to that category. This is accessible on most skill levels and a quality course overall that needs a home on on of the tours. It just needs some dancing penguins or something to bring it to life. As per usual been hyper critical here. (Please PM all complaints to Seth he might answer you ) |
