WGTChampion's Tournament of Weirdness

  SacredCow40:

  Why can I find any details about what constitutes its weirdness. For example, I went to play and noticed my clubs reverted to hacker clubs. Now I can't leave the game to check to see if I have my original clubs properly equipped or I will be forfeited. In my opinion, it should state in the description above about the club changes for those who haven't played one of these before (like me).

  It's a set of the week game, so your clubs change when you play the tourney.

  There are a couple of nasty holes out there.

  I fell apart a bit after the 4th hole, dropped 6 shots over the next 4 holes  : (

  I started the back 9 with 4 pars but then let a few slip past again and made a real bad of the last hole.

  One tip for those yet to play, be very sure you have the right meter before you putt.  You do NOT want to have the 60 feet one when you think you have the 30 feet ............

  I'm not sure what the actual green speed was (although I obviously made a fairly good guess)...but I can tell you what it wasn't.

  Doubled the first hole...because I actually believed that little trickster Champion...but birdies on 2, 6 and 16 more than made up for that.

  Definitely had a lot of fun with this one!  And to coin a phrase, "Please sir, may I have some more?".  ;-)

  That was a cracking round Jezza. I made the same mistake on the 1st. When i seen 161 on the stimp i gave 15ft power on a 70ft putt. Got nowhere near the hole. Not even half way. I WD after pitching up a hill and it coming back to my feet despite going past the hole on about the 6th or 7th.

  I had the same thing happen to me...pitched up past the hole only to roll back down past where I originally was standing. I figured it was a result of me using my normal free rocks...evidently not. Jerms shooting 53 is as insane as this tourney.

  The last hole was only hole i birdied. the insane green speed was bad enough but playing under those conditions with a set of clubs for the first time made it that much harder.

  another tip for those that haven't played it yet start with deducting 55%  or so from the length of the putt and experiment from there.

  It's a humbling experience, but really enjoyed it. I can't wait to play something similar again. What do you mean by set of the week game? Will this tourney be incorporated weekly? I hope so.
