    Will there be a #3?

    I had a lot of fun in these two very challenging multirounds. TYVM Icon, Uneven lies and icy championship/muddy slow greens are something special for real.

    Just don't think about a 24h/48h rd tourney, please: it would become mentally tiring. :)

    hi guys

    I am glad you all liking this. I love it too. Next 3 weeks are locked in and I'll post details tonight for #3. Shoe is leaving so when he is back and we can check into winds/etc we maybe able to experiment further..

    Corwyn:

    request for much stronger winds if that's possible. That would be something to see!

    One dream I've had about increasing the difficulty in the game play, is to do something that was an option in the Links game years back, namely to turn off the putting grid entirely. Just as it was tremendous fun to play blind unevens for a couple of days a few months back when a bug meant you couldn't see your lie properly, I can imagine it would be a fantastic challenge to putt blind, essentially from memory. I bet we'd be quite surprised at how well we could remember the breaks.

    I am checking into higher/custom winds... not sure right now. As for removing grid, not going to do it even if I could  because it takes skill away and lagging for pars without grid is too tricky and not as fun IMO.

    2DAMFLASHY:

    personally ...i mite wouldn't mind a round or 4 with starter balls... but ...feel like i work'd to hard to get my good equipment an want to use it... 

    we can explore that too, no promises :)

    yes, I'll post it tonight

    it'll get easier when you do it more often. next 3 weeks will be as such and then we can re-evaluate based on everyone's feedback :)

    Promised not to play the last round ......but UL are irresistible.

    The 3 eagles and all the birds were because of landing the ball within 5 feet!!!, 2 double bogies with putts over 20 feet. All fairways & all green in regulation too.

    Putting in "slow" greens is just out of my world, it just makes me sick.

    Another Crazy Tourney in the books. The final round on BOP5's was a total bore for me. Just can't get into playing 18 holes of the same thing. I think I've had my fun with these things 'cause I'm not going to fund TL's shooting incredible scores. That's what the RG's are for.

    Thanks Icon for the fun.
