  Hi all

  The current leader in this ctth tourney is Jakestanfill7 with 58.74,an excellent score I'm sure we'd all agree.

  I'm just wondering (perplexed/curious) at how another top player,Bolloxin Bruges' score could possibly be so high as 11,772.61?

  Any ideas or explanation anyone may have as to why or how this could be so, would be muchly appreciated..surely it wasn't just a bad day..lol :)

  Thank you,nan.

  2 reasons

  1) its funny seeing how high of a score you can get.

  2) Once it exceeds 250 players you have no clue how many entered (thats the max displayed on leaderboards), so by being in last place you know your exact chance of winning.

  Watch how many people will try and beat your HIGH score now, might have started a new craze without realising it... LOL

  We've been playing FFTP (furthest from the pin) for years now.  I used to sponsor a weekly cttp/fftp tourney in our country club giving prizes for highest and lowest scores.

  I gave it a try at edgewood, never knew you could hit backwards (learn things every day here LOL)  hard to judge hitting down fairway when aim ark is not there (only appeared for hole 3) so on 3 i thought i'd hit to edge of fairway 125 yards away, but i got a lost ball message, put me off finishing the round (forgot to use the freebies) :-)

  Your country club sounds much more fun than most, if there's ever a free space let us know........awsome

  Those FTTH tournies were a blast.  And they require a little more strategy than you'd think because you can only post 1 worst score.

  Very fun for sure, but  also much more difficult  then it sounds.  Setting up your shot in reverse is twice as hard as a normal ctth shot.  Many more factors to deal with, wind, aim elevation, hazards, mountains.   Bunker shots and  10-30% rough shots react totally different. 

  As I recall a few guys even used to Google Earth. Now that's hardcore for sure.
