  Holy lucky Lukes Batman!

  I was kinda dreading the first green, tough enough to make it stick there on champ greens, let alone these mad things.

  I found a way round that though. 

  I guess it can only go downhill from there.

  Great shot MM. Yes, on crazy fast greens, things generally can only go downhill! :-)

  I found round 3 good fun having a better idea what to expect after round 1. Shots like this helped:

  Circumventing the tricky putting on 12

  followed by a lucky up and down bogey on 13 having putted off the green from 8ft, then a chip in birdie on 14. It kept the clapped out locomotive trundling on....

  Fun it was not.  First time I've seen the 'maximum shots reached' message'.

  You went round under par?!?!  Where's my hat?  I so have to take it off right now.

  Those who had the old max shots reached message, would hole #13 have featured there?  I was feeling pretty good, got to the tee at 2 under par for the round and hit the green in 2 no bother.  Left a makeable putt too but after this happened and then again a few more times it was goodnight Vienna.

  Did anyone else think downhill putts played like they really were 50, uphill more like 14 or 15 though?  I hit a couple of 8 footers that were 1 inch uphill 10 feet and they barely made it.

  Happy with a 77, I feel like I survived it, not much more.

  didn't feel that much different from the 30 speed tbh. Shots held pretty fine, putt speed seemed about the same. Only thing I noticed was with the really steep greens like that short par 4 I think number 13? I hit my approach to 5 feet right pin high and it somehow held... if the putt doesn't go in, it's going off the green. Ended with a double on that hole... you're better off missing the green.

  Had 3 barely lipped out putts for birdie... had 2 doubles... and 2 bogey's. Could of easily been a 65/64.

  Loved every minute of it. :-)

  Missed green hole 1 and the front nine were gone!!..haha. Played par the last 9 tho (ashamed to show the front 9 card lol).

  Full top pin & punch did work very well, however the ball went around the hole couple of times to end up off the green.

  

  This is a chip "a la" Cabo hole 18, ball rolls some feet above the hole to roll back in the hole, missed the hole, it goes down many feet & outside the green.

  Hope Shoe & Icon uses this greens for weekly stuff or whatever we can play often. Ok the insane 50 speed would certainly be over the limit for the most. A 20 speed would be great indeed.
