This weeks

Post by davefv92c »

well i know there is nothing to get done with it
i am only posting this as a heads up to the setter so maybe it will get
left out of these tourneys.
first shot i missed the green and plugged in one of the greenside traps
second shot i got started out plugged in the trap at the start so green missed
but the second shot was a lost cause anyway.
lets see if anyone else gets this if so maybe we can put this one back for other tourney play.
or maybe just a freak thing and just forget about it.
it is a good challenging skills test.

the very first hole.
looking like just one of those freak things as it has happened to no one else yet
so all is good from what I see.
now I am not so sure after looking through all the scores as that green has been missed
quite a few times and by people, you would have thought would not have missed it.
I guess we just wait and see if it has happened to anyone else. but if they don't post then we will never know for sure if this is an issue or not.

Also missed the green with both shots, Decided not to try close to the pin instead just went for the middle of the green. Unfortunately my first shot fell a couple of yards just short of the green and the second one I sprayed to the right - so my bad hitting.

Hate those PLUGGED IN THE SAND moments - just a wasted shot

I just finished the first two rounds. 1) Same thing as Dave. First shot (with a wood) plugged in the green side bunker. Second shot was from a sand bunker and already plugged. So, right off the bat, on the first hole of the first round, I'm pissed. 2) Secondly, I thought this tourney was to "hone ones short game skills"? Didn't count the first round until I didn't even crack 4000 with an ace on one hole. But I counted the second round. 6 holes over 200 yards. And every freakin' one of them against the wind on to greens that were full of lumps so everything hit with a long club just bounced off, even on the so-called soft greens. In 18 holes, I never had ONE shot backspin. Just release forward and roll off those lumpy greens.

C'mon man. Those top 10 guys already know how to play this game, no matter what the shot, and there's no OOM points, so what's the point? How about getting back to SHORT game shots?

well I did not post about it but on another round a different hole I had the same thing
my first shot from a bunker I missed the green and plugged in a greenside bunker when the second shot came up it was plugged from the start too.
I think it is an error in the game
