1. Hard/Normal (which is so far from normal...)

2. 5 holes over 220 yards on Micahenrik crap undulating fairways, so you can't hit short and run

3.See pictures. Does the person who set this up realize those tiny snap misses at that distance and conditions is minimun of 75 feet to 35 yards off center depending on the wind?

4. What a bunch of bullshit. Not fun.

Yeah, I say we can him.

So just to clarify, you're saying because you missed the snap, you missed the green?

There were indeed some difficult and challenging shots to be made on the Blue Moose GC course but it's the same for everyone playing the Skillz (CTP) tourney this week.

Well yes, that's exactly what I mean. That being true, how do the people who are never under 7000 points week after week after week, NEVER miss a snap? A miniscule miss at the bottom is 30 feet off. Naturally, the guy who sets it up chooses a pin less than 30 feet from edge. So, its not really a contest to be closest to the pin, because I can be within 5 feet and be off the green. Its a contest to hit the snap perfectly every time. I've suggested it over and over. Just make it really closest to the pin, no need to be on the green. And the penalty for missing by that 5 feet is horrendous, no chance to recover. None. So you are a loser as soon as you miss one green. Unfair. Zero points, not -250! It will have NO effect on the 7000-8000 every game people. Just make it fun for the rest of us.

I don't see an issue here - it's called Skillz for a reason - the skill to hit the green, not leave it 5 feet short - it's the same for everyone - hitting the snap every shot is indeed a skill that most of us do not have and this tourney shows us what we need to improve on - eg, aiming right to compensate for early snap, etc. - I enjoy this even though I, too, miss greens/snaps.
