fmagnets:Corwyn, as you and I are swapping sleeves we can call it quits
Calling it quits makes perfect sense, Mags!
Corwyn: You have until midnight Sunday 1/24 to submit any late cards/screenshots and/or correct errors on the sheets.
The midnight Sunday deadline has now passed, with just Zayante adding a submission for the spreadsheet, which has been duly added but had no effect on the Stats prizes.
Thus, here is the formal wrap-up for TIO @ Whistler tourney:
Leaderboard (link):
It's fitting that our top 5 finishing leaderboard prize-winners were the only players to shoot par or better, in what turned out to be a slightly easier TIO set-up than in the past. I was fearful of setting too fast green speeds on these crazy greens but perhaps that made it too easy, lol!
-----------------------

Note I've added a highlight in yellow on the box where that player won that category, and highlights in blue if they were next in the standings.
--------------------------------------------
These were the sponsored prizes. The winners are noted below and their results are shown in the Stats Spreadsheet for the tourney:
1) Highest overall % of GIR (tiebreaker: Ave Distance to Pin) SPONSORED: Corwyn WINNERS: BunkerBuzzer, fmagnets, StrollinAlong all tied with 28 greens hit in regulation (spreadsheet rounding up shows fractionally different results of 77.5-78%). Because their Ave. Distance to the Pin totals were also unbelievably close (separated by 0.25ft) I am going to award all 3 a sleeve!
2) Closest Ave. Distance to the Hole SPONSORED: Corwyn WINNER: DaniUnchained is the winner with 12.8ft and is probably uncatchable.
8) Most 1-Putt Saves (as determined by scorecard) SPONSORED: Corwyn WINNER: razza31 is the winner with 8 (including a stunning 6 in R2)
7) Most Number of Birdies or Better SPONSORED: fmagnets WINNER: Corwyn is the winner with 11, just edging out five players with 10 (fmagnets, BunkerBuzzer, buey1950, StrolinAlong, DaniUnchained)
I am also going to add bonus sleeves for our regular putting prizes which did not get sponsors earlier:
3) Greatest overall total distance made putts SPONSORED: Corwyn WINNER: HIOSoon with 178.05 is the winner (I confess I'm sponsoring this prize in part to reward Paul for truly toughing-it-out after posting a 9 on the card in R1!)
4) Longest putt made SPONSORED: Corwyn WINNER: AdamK70 is the winner with a 35.4ft effort in R2
Other notable achievements from Stats sheet:
Scrambling (via the Stats tab figure): mmyers0 topped this category, with an 54.5% total.
Least Number of Bogies: Not surprisingly our winner fmagnets had the least bogies with 4 (this is typically the stat that corresponds with winning each event... take note!).
Least # of Putts: was buey1950 with a very impressive 55 (30/25).
No 3-Putts: No fewer than 3 players avoided a 3-putt on the tricky Whistler greens, fmagnets, Corwyn, and buey1950.
