PAR 3 Course as CC Tournament Course?

  Hi, 

  I would like to know if it's going to be possible to use the BEST OF PAR 3 Course within our CC Competitions soon? Or BEST OF WATER Course too?

  Also - the fee paying courses - are they going to be available for CC Tournies? Obviously one would assume you'd still need a fee but it would be good to have them on our CC options too! 

  The game is great - but it's getting a touch repetitive playing the same courses - would be nice for some of the others to at least be an option within our CCs.

  Thanks for any help anyone can give,

  No. Done. No.

  We have a lot of fun recently playing three-round tourneys on one course:

  front nine - back nine - 18 holes, in unlimited mode.

  This is good for an extended experience of each course at a time.

  I don't see the par 3 course ever being available for CC tourneys due to the fact that it can only be played stroke play practice mode, match play and alternate shot. However there is nothing stopping you from setting up a CC match play or A/S tourney and using it as one of the courses. They can be fun and you get to play with other players from your CC and get to know each other, or get to know each other better if you already know them.

  This could possibly change. The fix is as simple as adding 9 strokes for every 9 holes to the actual scorecard (after it's completed) in order to get the correct avg for a par 72 (8 per 9 holes for a par 70). But I don't know how much effort it would take for them to program this, therefore how likely is it it'll get done.

  Another way to achieve the same effect would be to simply count every tee shot as a 2nd shot, but that would unfortunately mess up the stats (you'd have to make a HIO for a birdie).

  Adding a stroke per hole would not be indicative of the actual score as you're not consistently hitting 160-220+ yards into every green on your approach during a normal round (depending on tier). I'm typically out 80-120 yards on my approach for maybe half the holes on any given course.

  The only way I can see them adding it to the CC line-up is if it's not counted as a ranked round still, and the scores are only listed for comparison purposes amongst participants.
