WGF Tour 2012
Week 14 - The Tour Championship Finals1
UPDATE
I think there's been a few frustrations with disconnections and the
fact you've got 4 x 18 holes to play. Please remember you can agree
to break your rounds down into two sets of nine holes provided you post
the right shots for both 9's.
As time is ticking along, I'm going
to allow players to partner up with the same person for two rounds out
of the four. This will hopefully make it easier to get your games played
and will see the number of rounds getting filled in quicker.

Well
we’ve made it! The Tour Finals are upon us and there’s just this final
hurdle to overcome before everyone gets a well deserved break. This week
will play differently to previous weeks; dependent upon your end of
season position, you will now be assigned to a group who will play each
other in a straight four round tournament to decide upon the group
winner.
Only
players in the Maserati Cup will play for the honour of becoming the
overall WGF Tour Champion. It is easily possible for the end of season
Tour standings leader (AllyKennedy)
to place far enough down in Week 14 to lose the title of WGF Tour
Champion but it's likely that those players towards the top of the end of season standings have the best chance to winning the title.

All
the other groups will have a winner who will take the assigned credit
prize for that event. There are no birdie / eagle prizes for the
Tour Finals though there will be prizes for best R1-R4 and the mandatory
HIO / Double eagle prize.
Please
take into account all four rounds are to be played over 18 holes. There
are no cuts in effect so the four rounds can be played in any order.
F9’s and B9’s can be split up if a player is tight for time (cards are
needed for both 9’s for verification purposes). Rounds can be played in
any order so it maybe sensible to leave R1 until you’ve positioned
yourself within your group and know what you need to do :)
All
four rounds have reasonably challenging conditions. However, please
note the equipment restrictions in place for R1. Each group has
different equipment restrictions in place and they gradually get harder
as you go up the tour standings. Having played a dummy run of the
Maserati settings, I came in +3 with two three putts that could’ve been
avoided. It is very challenging and I appreciate for some this could be a
very frustrating round. Fight through it as you can easily make up lost
shots over the remaining three rounds.

- one wedge means only one specialist wedge can be taken on the course.
For example it is your choice whether you take a 50yrd TM Satin or a
100yrd Cleveland.
R1
restrictions; card examples are shown below. There will be no
exceptions to these screenshots. Any player not providing the correct
screenshots will have to replay Round 1 until you can provide the correct shots needed. All players are
required to post / email two screenshots. It is the same scenario with incorrect club selections. Please don't continue your round if you can see you have too many clubs in your bag. I have no way of verifying that you've not used those additional clubs and therefore you'd be asked to restart your round. Just take note of the restrictions and make sure you get it right before you start the round.
As
can be seen the driver shot can be taken on the 1st tee (or any tee afterwards). IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT YOU SHOW YOUR BAG ON THE DRIVER SHOT (hover over you club
selection to show this on the screen) . This verifies that you don’t
have a certain clubs in your bag. THE GREENSHOT TO VERIFY THE STARTER
PUTTER CAN BE TAKEN FROM THE 15th ONWARDS (8 or 9 for those players
splitting up the 9’s). For players in the Skoda group,
greenshots on the final hole can be taken as you are only verifying
course conditions and the starter putter. All players need to post / email screenshots for R1.
Players
from each group can partner each other (a player from Maserati can
partner a player from Skoda for instance). As the course settings are
the same throughout, it will not impact anyone if they play with a
player from a different group. Remember that if you play with a tour
legend on a ranked round, you will be putting on championship greens -
this is a personal choice and your first round which is posted in the
forum will be counted toward your final score.
If
anyone has further questions, please post them prior to starting your
rounds. R’s 2-4 require the standard screenshots with only one player
from the group needing to post as there are no club restrictions. Course conditions follow below:
