    Click on youtube logo ^^^ and watch on fullscreen, it's like a combo of golf and spirograph.

    I regress, give all the balls to a Newbie, we can suck him or her in for years, OH the rewards.

    ... made me think of drunken etch-a-sketch. Fabulous, Paul! Thank you for sharing that.

    I still can't believe more didn't find it... It was a lot easier than Easter Eggs at Pinehurst. Maybe we needed Team Yancy on the case... 

    Thanks Opy for all the clues... I too thought the secret might be to say anything about someone above me (and I was hoping for that to be impossible)… Opy, Randal, DarkenRahl, and Beryman may have an idea what I'm talking about, but I suspect that that probably sounds like sheer craziness to everyone else…

    I finally found some time to tackle it (last minute again) and had a blast. This might have been my favorite round ever on WGT (or at least since Saturday and the TIO Bandon R2 pressure cooker). Icon was in my sights, and try as I might, I couldn't figure out just how hard to hit those putts. An incredible 2 birdie finish on the last 2 holes gave me an incredulous -2 closing score.

    I must confess a huge dilemma... I badly wanted to tell friends about this event, but figured in the end that would spoil the surprise: it was something people had to find for themselves.

    Congrats on a very nice trick, Shoe and Icon! But it played so well (and was such a good challenge), can we have another that people know about (maybe even in the game client!)?

    ---------------

    A few highlights (nothing to match Paul's putt on #7 though):

    #3 just misread this one... and feared for a moment I would roll back off the green

    #4 only the 30sec rule kept this pulled tee shot on the green

    #10 lovely 16ft fringe putt birdie

    #18 final hole birdie

    a lot of close calls: from 14ft on #6, from 9ft on #7, from 9ft on #11, from 8ft on #12, and from 9.5ft on #15. Several of these were just left short, as I just couldn't figure out the right speed.

    --------------------

    I know I'm too late for the original thread, but I want to add something nice about WigerToods2010, who very generously has created countless trophies and tourney graphics for the community for years. And he's a Scot! What more is there to say...

    Dang it Corwyn, how in the heck did you putt those greens that well??

     I left a couple short early then went to full steam ahead later and watching them sail on past.  LOL. I think my longest made was 5.5 feet for par on the last.

     Edit : And if your masochistic side takes hold and you think a TIO starter tourney with those greens on that course would be fun - please for the sake of my sanity, beat your head against the wall until that thought goes away.

    DaddysKat:

    Not a cheat program, but a bit of logic ... you can either e-mail the pics to yourself or buy a cheapo SD Reader (the same as on your phone) and plug it in.  Most are "plug and play".

    What kind of phone do you have, Ivietri?  

    Google it!  "How to transfer pictures from my <phone brand> to my <windows or mac> computer".

    Duh!

    lol.

    You FOPs ... just gotta love ya!

     

    HA HA HA ... Thanks Kat .. but I was just joking .. needed a forum for the Cheat Program line ... :) ... I'm just too lazy to take pictures .. and I love to bust on Icon !!!

    well - i still don't know what this hidden thing is you're all talking ab out - but Ivierti has always had my respect.  Heck, I admire one who busts on Icon :) - so long as it's in good nature of course :) -

    WGTicon:
    Please refer to this thread 

    Go to that thread . at the start Icon states they will give 2 sleeves . the " 2 " is green , it is a link to a game , click the green 2 and you will see . 

    I was going to tell but wanted to see if any one else would find it And if nobody did find it my chances of finishing in the top 10 was better .
