  Just finished my match with Jared (nickolijj). It was a really good and close game. We were both 28 at the turn, but he had some meter issues on the back 9 and I kept the pressure on. Ended up winning 3&1. Really enjoyed the match Jared and would love to play again sometime. 

  cheers!

  Just suggesting, that going forward lets keep this to the tips.  TMs will play from the back in Practice and settle up afterwards.   Straight up this is getting really silly!

  we all know that certain TMs, should be at the tips and they might be ruining it for the rest!    so lets make it so.  If they decide no, then they don't play in this or even the Hustle!

  Maybe the TMs will create there own tournaments, so be it, they can compete from ladies tees till the cows come home.

  But if you want to dance, dance from the tips, and if you win then its something to be proud off.  

  The other option would be for legends to come to front tees in this situation, but i dont think Tms wants that!

  Cheers,

  I am in complete agreement with Bogey here.  I have no problem playing MPC's against the average TM, but as Bogey said, there are some TM's that have the same skills as the better legends and to give them 400 yrds over 18 holes and call it fair, does not work to me.  

  I second the vote that this tournament and JC's Hustle be Legend only (just like the Ryder Cup) or for the odd TM that would actually still compete without their advantage, set it in practice and compensate after.

  Cheer,

  I must 3rd that motion.......simply giving up too much yardage to the seasoned TM's. The playing field is not exactly level when it comes to this. Unless a common teebox is used i believe these tiers should be seperated.

  Cheers

  Just lost 2&1 against MrDonVito. He hit me hard on the front with 5 birdies and 1 eagle (3 wood into tap-in range) while I struggled with my 10+ foot sliding putts (3 down). Pretty much the same story on the back. Was 4 down after 13, came back 2 down after 15. Missed a big breaking 9 footer on 17 to take it to the 18...

  Thanks for the game, Don. Hope to see ya from back here in the near future.

  Just finished my match with stuffix. Nice guy and good player. His putter was cold early allowing me to take the lead. He did fight back though and almost forced it to 18 but missed a slider on 17. Thanks for the match stuffix.

  I pretty much agree with all that has been said regarding the tiers, not exactly fair to have TM's who play as good as most legends having a 30yd per hole advantage. I was originally going to make this tournament legends only, but decided against it in favor of the honest TMs that may sign up just to have the opportunity to play against some of the best players. I plan on continuing to run this tournament, so after this round, all future editions will be legend only.
