that some of these courses get approved for play.

That's it, I'm out.

It might help if we knew which course(s) you were referring to :hmmm:

Well today's "Course de jour" is Mississippi Dunes and the Anthill pin placements. I mean you're on in regulation and your third putt is further away than your first.

Ridiculous.

As if 20 + MPH crosswinds aren't enough.

It's mini-golf on steroids.

yea i do not care much for that course either, i played a few holes of round one
and laughed my butt off when i looked at the pin settings that stated they where easy pins.
best thing to do is just skip the tourneys you dont like. i removed myself from that one, and move on to the next
you are not going to like all, all the time. and yes there are a bunch of courses with problems that don't always show till in a tourney.

i noticed on your profile you are playing Pro Level you are more then welcome to join us in The Heavy Duty Hitters weekly tourney if you like
it is a T Pro, Pro Country Club i work pretty hard on researching what i set up so all is playable, even though every now and again i miss something.
i use mostly the older courses i know have no problems in them, and been out long enough to have been given a good testing.
if you would like me to add you to the tourney list either post here or drop me a PM.

The scores for round 2 are very high so Mark, that tells you there is an issue. First the pins are mostly on hills that can cause a short putt to go 40-60ft if missed. So if we are using these pins stimp 13 is way too fast. How about a stimp 8 or 9? This also makes me wonder why we just never use some courses. For example when was the last time 5 Sisters was used? This would be a good course to use in the tough tourney with less harsh conditions. There are many others we never seem to see again but instead we use beta courses and never see par 3 courses used. The winner and runner ups of the Trackman Par 3 contest would seem worthy courses to use. Just my humble opinion.
