    Well,  that's it for me!  Not too bad for my first time around.  And check out those back-to-back-to-back birds on the back nine!  Lmao!  Thanks for the tourney, Icon. The time you put in is appreciated.  Cheers to all! And congrats to Spammage, who looks like he'll win this crazy tournament!!

    Im glad you're all having fun.

    I had few putts stop inside 5" but my biggest disappointment was 40fter on #9 for eagle, went in the middle of the cup, popped up and stopped 2" long :(

    next one starts on monday!!

    I'll post details tonight

    Thanks Icon - that was fun.  Those greens on Olympic were pure evil and the uneven lies on Whistler hammered me on several occasions (I still think that needs some tweaking).

    I went easy on you on olympic... i had them set on faster before but #17 was impossible to stop ANYWHERE :).

    whisler play well, no tweaking IMO.

     

    congrats

    I know, I know - hard to complain about the uneven lies when I still shot 8 under.  I just think the short game shots are way to unrealistic.  The uneven set up seems to punish short game shots way more than longer shots which is the opposite of golf where it much easier to manipulate a wedge shot than a 3-iron.

    I did end up on the back of 17 (still don't know how as I under clubbed just to prevent such a tragedy).  I aimed basically sideways and struck the putt with 7 feet of power - it rolled all the way to the bottom of the green (over 70 feet) and left me with about 35 feet back up the hill for birdie.  Fortunately that putt did stop at the hole and allowed for a par.

    Any chance to make a less stress rounds for the next UL tournes?, probably not possible (WGT system) with the 4 rounds to be played within a week, is it?

    I could not join the first round of this special because of the very short 2 days schedule :-/
