  Great tournament Icon, I thoroughly enjoyed the beating at my own hands. 

  Loved the challenge to just make pars and re-learn course management with UEL.

  I look forward to regular tournaments like this as it can only improve my game as it seems I have had to ramp up the creativity and learning curve to navigate around these courses.

  I struggled more on the greens learning the putting speeds required than GIR. Most of my over-par rounds were due to one or two blow up holes (bad approaches) and inconsistent putting (speed), very much like my game in IRL! 

  Good luck to everyone remaining and kudo's to those who are shooting under par, very impressive play.

  I think UEL have won me over :)

  nice finish for me was helped with a very favourable windset..look forward to the next 1 Icon.

  Just 1 wish for me would be higher winds, if that ain't possible then maybe get 30 mph winds at courses such as oak/CCC/merion

  Tnx

  Easy 15 under missed, green speeds change to much imo. 1 min think know speed then hit it next hole same and 14 feet past.More ul comps pls.

  I had a tough round... many winds simply made it impossible to reach.. In fact I only missed 1 eagle putt inside 20ft... lipped...

   

  on whistler #1, i had 20 tail and went for it... OOB, made bogey, so realistically, should have been 2 strokes lower... Otherwise almost best I could do there.

  Oh, I also went for it on #2 kiawah (dumb move) and luck/great shot from nasty lie saved me.

  It won't hold up. but I had fun :D

  Next one is coming on monday!

  Thanks for this tourney Icon, it was a real test but also great fun.

  Finally managed an under par round in the last round, would have been a bit drastic if I couldn't really.  I even got 2 eagles which was nice.

  I still have a hell of a lot to learn about UL though.  As this bizarre shot shows.  And I was aiming miles left too.  Saved par though.
