  Congratulations to Mutts and Jeff for the victory (I knew that the bad par 5s and hole #3 will be our downfall), a well deserved one indeed. And even bigger congrats to all the teams in the other bracket for putting both finalists to shame with their great scores, awesome rounds by all.

  This tournament really lived up to its name. If we'd add up scores from all 4 rounds, the leaderboard would look completely different. But, just like in the real 'Big dance', the performance on the day, an occasional hot round and luck all played a big role in determining the final outcome.

  A huge thank you again to mnshiner for setting this up and seeing it through in admirable fashion and to my partner for being great company throughout this event. I can't wait for the next event, my expensive Nikes could really use a good wash ;-)

  Thank you Puholino and don't quote me on this it looks like #8 that was the deciding hole. After that it was nick and tuck.

  Lol, perhaps, but our pars on #7, #11 and the bogey on #3 didn't help our cause       much   ;-)

  Thanks for this wonderful tournament and these great trophies. It was a real blast participating although I got to admit that not getting to the final made me very angry of my poor playing in the semi. Mizzy can confirm that I was very "revenche-angry-mad" at the start of our last round and we played just like that. After seeing how C&C told some stories all tournament long (and even changed screenshot scores which I think is not the way it should be done) and I felt they did it the other way this time, we decided to join the lies for one week. I hope nobody was offended by this when seeing the results.

  Cheers everybody and see you at the next edition,

  Hans

  Hans, 

  I really appreciate reading this message of yours.

  While I really enjoyed the tourney as a whole, I have to say I didn't feel quite comfortable with this aspect of it; I thought originally that the idea of 'bullshitting' our descriptions of the rounds, and the encouragement of deception would be interesting and fun... but in practice I found it frustrating much of the time.

  And personally, I couldn't find the right balance of tone to strike myself. In retrospect, pretending to get a worse score (as I did last round) was not so clever! Pretending to get -11 in the 3rd round was at least a fairly obvious deception. Having called ourselves Uneven Liars, I think we felt under some pressure to live up to our name...

  In my defense re the last round, I'd completely forgotten to take pics earlier, and found myself on 18 needing to take them, but then not really wanting to reveal my real score. I should have covered the score rather than pretend it was something else. My apologies for that, and for any offence that was caused.

  Cheers, Corwyn

  Wassup shiner, u don't sound too happy, and u ain't been active for 2 days ?

  Prize received ok thanks.

  Why is there a problem sending balls to jeffacer62 ?

  I have to ask one question given the shenanigans of Corwyn, is how come none of PUholinho's screenshots have any credits showing, and the green speed doesn't show either.
