  Completely agree.

  Fun tournament!

  I actually left both a putt and a chip inches short, plus I lipped out my only birdie putt inside 25 feet (my accuracy is terrible with R11 irons and starter balls). Had to make a bunch of 6-8 footers for par just for a 31.

  Check out this putt on the last hole for -6...goes behind the hole, and drops back in!

  PS, I really don't see what all the fuss is about;)

  Thought I'd brag for a bit;)

   

  Edit:

  
  

  Sorry, just read the rules to use starter balls...I used the Valentines Day ball.

  Excellent round, MB.

  'Starter balls' use is merely a recommendation from Shoe - not part of any actual rule re this event.

  Think the idea was to stop folks like myself moaning and retiring due to lost balls or ball hits used...... I didn't  heed the man's advice. :O(

  Nice work!

  No big risk of losing a ball, but tacking from fringe/rough to fringe/rough and back you might put some extra hits on the ball.

  6 under on a par 3 course.... That is not unrealistic at all. Especially if you know the holes and understand where to put the ball.
