  Hey all.

  It was a nice match for me with a very nice player (seemorehair)... He was a bit unlucky on the back 9 and my putting was not in the best of days! 33 putts with 83% GIR and an AVG distance to pin of 28 ft is terrible... only sunk 1 in the 18.

  Is there any leaderboard??

   

  thanks

  Oh, guys... sorry to hear it hurt so much. We did call it 'Tough-It-Out' so please don't accuse us of false advertising.

  This format sure can be brutal, but you can't deny it makes an interesting change from throwing darts. A birdie here is richly earned, and in many cases, so is a par.

  Thanks for the good wishes, Gladstone. Sorry to lose you (but again, thanks for letting us know).

  FYI: I'm noticing last couple of player's Screenshot posts are showing a Tee Shot rather than an Approach Shot. It's the Approach we need in order to verify Uneven Lies.

  Thanks, Corwyn

  [Nice round Mike! Only the 4th score of par or better in the tourney so far]

  Yes! I've finally had time to create the Overall Leaderboard, and update all the Special Prize Stats tabs.

  You can find everything here.

  (just navigate via the tabs at the bottom to whichever Special Prize stat you're interested in tracking)

  This format is more like real golf than it is with the top gear and perfect lies.

  You don't get any backspin with long irons, rather than stupid spin from 220 with a 3 iron.

  You have to play for middle of green on most holes and work out the best way to bounce it up, play for par and take the birdie chances when you can.

  If the clubs had a bit more precision and distance, and the spin was progressed better down to the wedges, then this could be the golf game that WGT claim it to be. And the stupid 50's would be no more.

  Also I have to say what a superb job you have done creating the format and the whole leaderboard and stats tables. That must have taken ages. Very well done.
