  Hi Paul , I'm sorry about that , There was a mistake with the tournament format , The first round was suppose to be unlimited play , They had to reset the tournament and we have to start over , I know a lot of people lost their scores and I do  APOLOGIZE  for that . 

  On behalf of The Bushwackers Country Club ...........GOOD LUCK !

  I'll drink to that BK.  I detest unlimited play. In real life you can't give up after the 3rd hole and have another go, I hate that it's so often possible here.

  I just teed off and my post came back to haunt me.

  I realised it seemed very ungrateful to complain about what format was decided on, this was not my intention at all.

  I see now they changed it back and caused a bit of resentment from those who, rightly, felt they had posted good scores in single play.  I hope none of this reflects on the club behind the tournament and I'd like to say a big thank you for your generosity.

  It wasn't ungrateful at all sir , I understand why some would be upset .   I also hope that it does not reflect our club in a bad light , It was simply a mistake and WGT reset the tournament , I feel bad for all the folks who lost their scores and I apologize .

  On behalf of The Bushwackers Country Club ,  We thank you and wish you all the Luck !

  don't apologize! some of us prefer single play tourneys :)

   

  Agreed - and for unlimited tournaments I will invariably only play once anyway (including US Open Qualifier)

  Really appreciate the Bushwacker's putting this on! Kudos to your club.

  Great thing your club is doing mate. Just a pity this happened.

  As per above.....single play much better IMO

  Well done Bushwackers......top club

  I agree, even though I know I'd need unlimited to stand a chance LOL.   The ability to restart causes me to rush in the beginning.   Unlimited tourneys should be, you can play again once you finish.   If you "x' out and return, you must continue or FF the tourney.  Play all you like but post a score each time first.  ;-)  

  Edit...

   

  Although, I do like a restart after putting a fresh new ball OB because I failed to notice which club the Caddy handed me.   Sneaking a round in at work makes it tricky to pay attention to details sometimes LOL.   Hit it good too, monster left to right wind and it was tracking right at the pin,  just LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG  LOL.
