    Solid1 I have a ? for you. I noticed on your green screenshot you have the pitch view selected. Is that view better than the chip view?

    I think if you show pitch on the putting green you show all the information needed to prove you are playing the right conditions but yes I use pitch view like a lot of players when I am not sure about the break.

    I didn't announce that there would be a prize or prizes for the Lower Bracket but there is 1000 credits to the winner and 500 to the runner up.

    Now since MB and Solid1 have tied in their last Round I would like to suggest without going thru the tiebreaker Rules that they play the Back 9 with these conditions:
    Mode: Practice
    Tees: White
    Green Speed: Very Fast
    Wind: High
    Lies: Uneven
    Shot Timer: 90 seconds

    That's mighty nice of ya Shiner!

    Could I request we play it in MP though?  It would eliminate a "hell hole" that could knock either of us too far back to recover from.

    Thanks again...just a request.

    Just finished the final with Dazza, he stumbled early with a desaster at 3 and never really came back to his normal game. When the shot difference increased around the turn, we switched into fun mode and his score surely doesnt represent his normal skills.

    Thank you everybody who ensured that this was such an awesome tournament to play in,  a lot of fun!

    Cheers, Hans

    I was garbage. Double bogeyed the 3rd and never recovered. Hans got too far away from me and to be honest i just sat back and watched his good play while i pissed about practicing. Thanks for a great tournament Shiner and thanks Corwyn for your help with it also. Look forward to another 1 of these but on a different course maybe.

    All good Shiner, Mark (Solid1) just got back to me and what he said makes sense, that the spirit of the tourney is stroke play...so disregard my request:)

     

    PS

     

    We'll probably play tomorrow about 4/5pm WGT time.

     

    Thanks

    65 for me, 76 for Filmslayer. Didn't bother taking pics to save our embarrassment!

    Well done Hans, and thanks to Shiner for a great tournament. The experience was invaluable in the Legends Challenge.

    I have contacted both Hans and Dazza501 about their prizes. Will get the scorecards posted shortly.
