  ya, I had a horrible round:(.

  played it at 4am as usual, so I can't blame that... just didn't hit close and hit into bad spots... 45 seems like a sick score :)

  good luck to all!

  Thank you sir!  An ace on #9 helped.  It could have been better - lipped out 5 other birdie putts.  Fortunately though I didn't make any 3 putts - even had a couple of 2nd putts in the 15 ft range thanks to those crazy fast greens.  Not to worry though - I HATE slow greens so tomorrow will likely be a very rude awakening.

  Let's see what all the fuss is about....after all, how hard can it be :-)))

  EDIT:- Bogeys on #2, 12 and the last ( bad ding miss and left it on top ridge )

  4 lip outs didn't help either but this did...

  ColumbusStorm:

  Please allow 2 days at least for each round.

  I gotta second that. As I posted in the last Craziness tourney thread, I'm not sure I can cope with the stress levels doing this every 24 hrs! (And the time pressure is difficult too). The 3 day interval is just right IMO. And I do think participation (and completion) would increase if the prizes were spread out to top10 instead of just top 5, and I also like the suggestion that was made to have a random finisher outside the placings get a sleeve, as a reward for endurance.

  I played this one despite the time pressure, mostly because I'm fascinated to get another crack at Whistler with unevens (the 4th round setting).

  Finished R1 earlier today... In general I struggle on the par 3s, but managed a 52 here in these conditions, and that was with missing three easy 5-footers. Highlight of the round... without question, this HIO on the hole where I've lost more balls than any other, Kiawah's 17 (#6 here). (And I came very close to getting another HIO on CCC's 10th)

  signed up for fun to see what these were all about. 

  F$&%k'n A those greens were lightning. Managed to putt down the hill on the RSG par 3. :)

  Was good fun though. Something very diff on WGT for me, which is what the game needs. Nice work Icon.

  I'll tell you what though, Championship greens have become a lot easier all of a sudden.
