@wizardofcoz this weeks tournament doesn't have a working 3rd hole. It's a 158 yard par 3 but when you get to it, the tee box has you hitting the opposite direction as an 800 yard hole.

[Wizard of Coz]

Oh crap. So what do you do. Hit it at the correct hole? Or do you just have to skip that hole and take an 11?

[Wizard of Coz]

Sorry I didn't play it yet to test it. I think the rest of the courses should be good.

[delta1274]

I wasn’t sure what to do, so I stopped playing. I missed the green and had a 700 yard chip! 😁

[Wizard of Coz]

There is a glitch on 2 holes this week both par 3s on the front nine. It doesn't line you up with the hole. So first find the hole and then unfortunately you have to putt out no gimmies. Its a little tricky but fortunately I made par on both holes. The par3 holes on the back nine were fine.

[NetcheK]

Not easy to estimate distances though.
I did not manage par on the second "buggy" hole".

[NetcheK]

My scorecard don't appear on the leaderboard (no worry for the leaders, I'm far far away... ;-))
It's my first tournament in the society, maybe it takes a little time?
(it works fine in Protee Q-school)

OK. My name appeared as I was writing the post....
Not my day...

This week we have a real peach here at the Noonan club. We present you with a masterpiece created by none other than the one the only Chad golf. This course will hold its own this week measuring 6600 yards. Come one come all and register some rounds on this mountain course and enjoy those spectacular mountain views!

Third season has just kicked off. Wizard of coz Noonan club. The longest running most prestigious club in all of TGC2019! Don't miss the fun join today!

Hey Coz (or anyone who may know), do you know if the handicaps transfer from one Society to another? (eg. is mine the same in your society as it is in Pro Tee's society) The reason for asking is I'm looking for a way for the guy I share the skytrak with to get some tourney action. If they don't transfer between societies then maybe he can play Triplebogeys or the new 1 rd Pro Tee society and I can continue with what I'm trying to play in currently.

[Wizard of Coz]

Imnot sure. I think my society and protee run same hdcp or at least rounds counttowards tour hdcp. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

[Sascha1818]

Probably a funny thing to ask since I have only been playing TGC 2019 societies since spring but are the society tournaments gross or net ? I'm serious, never payed attention to either standings or scoreboard and what it really showed. Somehow it shows me as a 6.1 handicap in the game. No clue how I got there either lol

[Sascha1818]

Never mind, found the threads. It looks like I have to check some stuff this weekend. I show up in the leaderboard with my real name again. Might have happened at the last update.

[ProTee Max]

Tour handicaps will only work on the tours we run ourselves, or the ones we add to our system like Wizards.
If you run a society with a lot of members we can add your tour to the handicap system.

Really did not like this week's course (Birchwood UK Lidar).
The course is set for long hitters: always a pond or a river in the 220-240y landing zone.
Meaning if you don't hit it >250y carry, you're strongly penalized on the scorecard.
I took a chance on some water obstacle... Bad idea!

I have to play that course IRL every week as it's my home course (and I'm responsible for the design of it on TGC too) and there are ways to get it round without having to have big carries although you do need to be able to hit your long irons and fairway woods well It is recognised locally that it's a tough course though and there are lots of our members who feel your pain!!

I don't know the course in real life... I'm sure it is an accurate RCR in the game (thank you, by the way) and quite a challenge to play!
You know, I just needed some justification for my terrible score (including a 6-bogey on #9)
;-))

[AndyF]

Good old No. 9... It's SI 1 in real life as there is no particularly easy way to play it. The safest option is to play it like a 3 shot par 5 and hope you can get up and down for a par if you're lucky.
Only the brave or silly tend to take on the carry over the pond off the tee 😊

[Iquinn4]

We need more courses that have a layout like this. It is a course that forces you to make decisions off the tee and there are a lot of ways to get around the course. Wide open courses that are grip and rip it are ok occasionally but this is a much better test and more comparable to golf IRL. GREAT JOB!
