  WGTicon:

  I had a great round, 60 with 3 putts stopping inside 6".

  Made MANY 10-20fters... It really helped that I was dinging everything this morning. Could have easily been a 57. I also parred 13th:(

  Great round for me too! I had the help of this perfect 2nd on #15 for eagle, but had already made the turn -6 (even after missing out on routine birdie on #4). Too many missed ding putts on the back 9 though (including straight uphill 8 footer on the last), and very bad tee shots on the par 3s ... oh, if I could just get better at par 3 holes.... :(

  I have to say I quite liked BPB with super-slow greens; I suspect it helped augment the weaker stopping power of my G20s, which is usually a challenge playing into so many elevated greens.

  This birdie attempt on #11 hurt though...

  Card and stats here if you're interested.

  Cabo no 18 on these greens - i was afraid of it - and it was even worse than expected. That is a bit to crazy.

  All the rest was a fair challenge and if I would not have played some real stupid shots (basically on the par 3s) that lead to bogeys things would be even better.

  I tried to leave myself uphill putts whereever I could - I did this rather well - accually the round felt somewhat easy that way.

  Very happy with the round

  Stupid... just as expected. Coming to the last at -12, lipping out or missing by less then a hole 8 putts in a row from the same spot for a 10 at the last. 2-3 people will be lucky and drain that 27ft putt and they will win. Great idea.

  Haha everything is fine, no worries! I was actually laughing after the 2nd and 3rd putt, the cussing started after #5 =)

  First WD...my limited knowledge of UEL mixed in with these crazy greens was just too much :)

  Be back for the next 1 no doubt

  thank you again for this weeks tourney - looking very much forward to next week again.

  I am glad I have a couple of days to think about why it took me 6 holes to figure out this slow green speed again. This time it was worse than normal - I did not only miss the birdie opportunitiies but I ended up three putting and +3 after 6 - I did OK after that.

  I still prefer the really fast green version over the slow one.Makes you think more.

  See you next week
  Cheers

  I withdrew!!!! 

  My excuse is I needed to test something. In reality, I got frustrated by constant lipouts and not being able to ding due to shaking hands. I usually play my rounds around 4-5am but being sick, I passed out on nyquil, so i threw in the towel after 10th.

  Next conditioning coming tonight/tomorrow with #5 starting Monday.

  Hanswurst72:

  That's my final participation in these tournaments for the moment.

  I hope you change your mind Hans. (or maybe you already have?)  Tournaments like this need players like you. 

  Besides, with the possible exception of a stellar round by one of the few people left to play (roman with a 55, for example)...I think you won this one...despite my best attempts to stop you!  ;-)

  I even threw in a hole-out on 13, and still fell short.  But the chase was loads of fun, and I thank you for providing such a lofty target.  Like I said before, I hope you're back next week.    :-)
