    Course conditions for Round 1
    Course:Merion
    Mode: Practice
    Tees: Orange
    Green Speed: Fast
    Wind: Moderate
    Lies: Uneven
    Shot Timer: 90 seconds
    These conditions are also on page 1 of this thread.

    For you folks that do not know how to get to play Merion in practice mode I will try and explain it:
    1. Stroke Play
    2. Merion
    3. Experience Merion
    4. Create a Group
    5. Stroke Play once again
    6. Change game mode to practice

    For the prize of 1000 credits to the player under the Legend tier that has the lowest score in Round 1 we have 3 players.

    Corwyn has informed me that the pairings are pretty much done but is waiting to hear from two players borntobesting and LeGeNdCrUsHeR to confirm their times.

    After being able to take a quick glance at the players involved I see that there is a player who isn't screenshot capable. All is ask from that player is to explain to your playing partner about this and ask him or her to take the screenshots of the fairway and green of you early so they can concentrate on their round. I have found that taking screenshots for one player and myself can get very confusing, rushing shots because the timer is running down and end up deleting a picture that shouldn't be.

     

    I think that is fair enough.

    I'll mark for him or just pair me with him and it's a done deal. I prefer to play commitments early in the week anyway.

    It is so folks can see that everyone is playing the same conditions.

    You will notice that the top photo shows the uneven lie grid and the second shows the green speed.

    I also check the wind speed and the Tourney organizers look at the score on the hole the screenshot was taken and compare it to the scorecard on that hole for verification. I'm sure we're all extraordinary ladies and gentlemen but verification ensures it for everyone when we set up the conditions ourselves.
