  Heavy wind at Chambers Bay —

  What an ugly way to start the day!

  Not much more I can really say

  But please give us somewhere else to play!

  If those winds weren't bad enough for you, Pebble Beach B9 is another course this week. I play these for fun, so it will be real easy to sit out these heavy winds. Here's to next time. 🍻

  Clash Question:

  I thought this happened once last year, but figured it must be my imagination. We had 5 scores posted this morning with a Super Pass, but 10 Super Pass were used. In our 2nd Clash, 2 were used, but only 1 score posted so far. Is this a glitch? Does it sometimes take away two Super Pass when using only one?

  I know this could be a player starting and quitting, and even thought that is what happened in the first Clash, but now that it is happening in the 2nd Clash as well, I have to wonder. And the fact that the same amount is being wasted as is being used is very suspicious to say the least.

  I havent known it to happen in those numbers. It’s easy for me to keep track on supers as it’s only me and my director in my club , and we lost one between finishing the first clash match and starting the second . It must be a glitch.

  LOL, there are at least 3 very high wind courses then, Lesley:  Chambers Bay, RSG, and Pebble Beach.  If they would do these high winds at Bethpage, Pinehurst, and Kiawah, it wouldn't be so bad . . . .

  wgt took a huge step in the right direction by increasing the nr of courses in play during clash events 

  but...

  with all these courses available we had to keep ourselves entertained for 12h00 straight on Spinehurts for our 1st three clashes in succession. 

  Apart from being handicapped for scoring vs other clubs, we just cannot convince members to join in for more of the same torture over and over again

  Really no use having these changes if it isn't implemented !!

  Five rounds, five courses for us.

  Very windy start with Chambers Bay, Pebble, and RSG.  Lots of wind relief at Erin, and now on to some fun at Wolf Creek during a playing time that suits many of my members.

  The changes are working for our club. . . . this time.

  This happened to us last year and it turned out that a new Tour Champion member was using the SPs but not finishing the Clash rounds if he/she was playing badly...!!!

  Needless to say he/she is an ex-member now...
