  It was a blast to play with starters. I forgot to take screen shots but I did twitch the game and got video of scorecard.  Hope this works.

  ^Great playing Joe, you've taken the lead. No squares on the card either. Really interesting to see you birdied the 2nd and last hole of each 9. 83% GIR and 100% scrambling are fantastic. :)))

  Thank you. Yes it was a good round even if I've missed some birdie putts. The very fast meter doesn't help so I can be happy with 4 birdies :)

  Got off to a rough start with a TURRRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE drive on the first hole.  Nearly recovered, but the 6 footer broke much more than I read and I couldn't save. Drive on 4 was as pure as the mountain spring, but in typical Inigo fashion, I couldn't convert natch. Rest of the round wasn't too bad -- even stole one back on 18 LOL.

  I'm afraid I must remove myself from any possible considerations however, as I forgot to disable the putter and shot pals prior to tee off. Picardfacepalm.jpg.

  Great to see so many players tackling this tourney... and some very impressive scoring with these unforgiving clubs. I have to say I'm surprised to see so many under par at this stage.

  When planning the event, I suggested to Shoe that WGT might offer a sleeve prize to everyone who finished under par across the 2 rounds, but he passed on that one, worried it could be hundreds of players! He offered top 10 finishers instead (very generous in my opinion). I'm looking forward to seeing the final leaderboard to see if he made the right choice, lol!

  Inigo, there is no restriction against use of putter and shot pals. That would be impossible to enforce, and is not part of the intent anyway.

  Finally, as Cerino so helpfully reminds us:

  ***Remember to take SCREEN SHOTS of all the STATS!!!!!***

  Didn't realise to take screenshots of the round till too late, sorry.  2 Birdie Putts got saved though:

  Planning on streaming the 2nd round on Twitch, will post details on here when confirmed.  Looks like it'll be as bad as the first round was good.  The 2 practice rounds so far have seen a +20 and a +15.  A few of those Champ Tees are out of reach of the starter driver and I'm so inexperienced with UL that off the green sees a lot of guesstimates.
