  Citing some eucalyptus mints' ad:

  "If they are too strong, you are too weak"

  Just saying, looking at nobody ;)

  Heads up to anyone giving it a try..... take about 80% off your putting distances.

  just an idea, you asked for starter balls to be used, maybe next time on the 1st tee a screen shot!!

  Starter ball was a request so you didn't lose a ball. Not a requirement to play the tournament.

  Yeah,, that was fun, like I imagine self mutilation, waterboarding, and golf weekends in Damascus are fun. Rather telling that my meter started jumping around in ways i've never seen before.

  I had a total blast with this good fun.I may of only scored +2 but enjoyed never the less.On 1st hole i landed 1yrd from pin rolled back 4,thought fair enough,hit my putt stopped 2 ft from pin again i thought not to bad i can make par,but low and behold the bugger decided to roll 4 yrds back down green when i thought it had stopped lmao.Made my only birdie on #9 but did make a 25fter to save it being a double bogey on the Whistler hole.

   After Stevietwotimes comment i would roll this out as default greens for the Tour Legends RG'S only!! wouldn't wanna face a TL in a ranked game with that green speed.

  I hope you have more fun Tournaments like this up your sleeve Bloshoe,although not on UEL though i totally abhor them :(

  What great fun that was Shoe, a very good experiment.

  My only snag was only hitting three out of nine greens from the tee !

  Will watch for more different ideas, certainly keeps it interesting

  By the way, ended up with +5 after taking 7 on the whistler hole, ball went up the hill and came down again , and hitting two trees on the way to the first green...lol

  Good fun...not as crazy as I was expecting..

  The worst piece of advice was to change balls !!

  A bogey and 3 missed Birdies because of missed dings....damn Srixons  ;-)

  Missed ding and green on 1st hole, flopped to what should have been 6 inches but rolled on 16 feet !   So rolled up to hole dead weight but it rolled back another 6 ft Funny ;-)

  But after that you know the green speed with just moderate winds...
