Wont get to it till early tomorrow morning and then I will finish.  My caddie and I were in Florida getting our game ready for the Florida Swing that we hope is coming.

[jmk59]

Greens - no rush, I was going to open the Final Round on Tuesday-ish.  We're playing Bandon Dunes - would you like to select the conditions, please?  John

Florida Swing sounds good. Which courses would be on the list?

 

I'm going to slot in a quick Ryder style teams event next to trial something different. 

 

Leaderboard updated.

Greens spearheading the Florida Tour?

 

There are some great PG tracks in the Chicago / Mid-West - maybe Joe could scout a future FRET_XX.

Not a good round for me at Pebble Beach*, even if I use ESC for Hole 10.  Despite John's good round, I'm afraid we may drop even further behind the leaders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Perfect greens didn't help me at all either.

Easy Chicago Oaks, Illinois CC, Blackwolf Run, TPC Deere Run and the finale at Firestone South

Right now I believe there are only three down there in Florida Glades, Florida Palms and Naples so we would have to add one that looks like a Florida course.  I will look and give a humble opinion and you guys can decide.

John that is your baby and I know you will give us a challenging final at Brandon Dunes.

[Greensboronclion]

Well the results from Cypress Point are in and a very good round by Ian and I killed a lot of trees.  Ian that was some good putting and you finished strong and my caddie said why am I cadding for you as you suck and can I caddy for him instead.  Well I pointed out that all that beer you drink you need extra walking that you get with me and to shut up and carry the bag.  I played the Par 5's which are easy at this course in a whopping +1 and how I managed what I got with where I was is beyond me but no lipouts today helped and that was in part as I stayed away from the edge of the dang cup at all costs.  Anyway its over and well played Ian and its on to Pacific Dunes.

 

Gboro       36-35 = 71   -1

Ian            34-31 = 65   -7

This type of competition isn't suited for scatterbrains like me.  I just played the final round at Cypress Point with Armand's recorded round... had all the record, upload to cloud, and match tees boxes checked only to find I that I don't have a recorded round for my player when I was done. To add insult to injury, I once again hit the finish button before taking screenshots of the scorecard.... ARRRGGHHH!!!  This is twice now I've had this happen exactly the same way.

 

I don't know what's happening to these recorded rounds.  If any of you are on my friends list, could you see if my recorded round from Cypress Point today might happen to show up in your friends or others folder (forget what it's called).  I wound up having far less time to play this weekend than I'd thought, and I was only able to get this round in.  Looks like I'll be no-carding the PGLS and OGT tours this week also.  I won't be able to play any more team rounds this week, but I'm might be able to squeeze in a solo round at Cypress Point if I have to.  That way I'll at least have a round to contribute for all four tournament rounds.

JC - when you played Armand's recorded round, PG won't let you make a recording of this - you only get the snapshot of the final score card (F12).  If you remember what your scores were, you can just give us your total.   JMK59

 

If Team JC & Armand would like, I can get the scores from your already recorded rounds (at each course) to put onto the scoreboard (if that helps).

Torreypines scores - cheers!

I shot 70 and Crusher shot 80.  The problem with this round was that it was my first round at Cypress, so I didn't already have a recorded round for it.  I can try to squeeze in the needed round at Cypress Point tomorrow.  I've got solo rounds at Pebble and Pacific Dunes in our folder now that could be used.  The problem is I'm not going to have enough free time to finish all 18 holes with a recorded player until Friday, and I'd rather not drag it out any longer.  I know Armand has to be getting frustrated with me 

[jmk59]

Armand, JC - I think I saw in your MEGA folder that each of you had played a recorded round at each course. I can post these scores, that way the two of you will have a score for each Round.  Then both of you can post  second scores at your leisure, or decided to join the Final with what you currently have - and the group (everyone else has finished 4 rounds) can start the Final.   JMK59

[Greensboronclion]

Well I scouted the Florida courses and right now there are three in Florida Glades, Florida Palms and Naples West.  If I had to pick a 4th I would go with Aroha as it is tropical and would fit right in.  I will say that would be an interesting test as both Glades and Palms are a good test especially with some wind and higher stimp and the other two are now pushovers either.  Just my two cents.

[jmk59]

Round 4 will end shortly; scoreboard will be up tonight.

 

The Final Round venue will be:  Bandon Dunes

 

Conditions and Pairings (competative based) will be posted Tuesday evening (~8 pm est).

• For practice purposes use: Champ tees, Gusty, Difficult pins + Real putting, 12 or 13 Stimp, Normal / Normal or Hard / Soft (watch out for OB on #6).  Any feedback on the variables would be welcome.
• Same format - 1 recorded round each, swap and play each other's recorded.  Pick you best score and post.

Go practice.  JMK59

I am not frustrated with you, JCat (I'll assume that "Crusher" was a typo, although I'm not sure what would connect the two of us - all good!).   I'm not the most disciplined player to play every round at a set schedule, which is largely why I no longer play at OGT or PGLS.  It's hard to dedicate an evening or a day on the weekend solely to playing JNPG.  For me, it takes a long time to play with a recorded player.  Well, maybe an hour isn't too long for most, but it feels that way to me! 

 

I was going to play your PD recording tonight for round 3 and then round 4 (Cypress) sometime after you get it done.  I'm in not hurry at all (although I can't speak for JMK and/or Ted).

JMK, I have played all 4 rounds, but JCat hasn't played/recorded his solo round at Cypress.  I'm not against your proposal; to save you from having to watch (or play against) the recordings, my scores are as follows:

• Torrey Pines:  91 (+18) and 87 (+15)
• Pebble Beach:  88 (+16) and 100 (+28)
• Pacific Dunes:  76 (+5) and 77 (+6)
• Cypress Point:  80 (+8)

 

Hmmm, looking at my 1st round scores at the courses (91, 88, 76, 80) and recalling that I played them essentially one after the other, maybe it helps to play 4 rounds in a row....

 

 

EDIT:  I added the 2nd score for Pacific Dunes above.

Armand, I'm on my last "watch you play" round (JC at Pacific Dunes).  I don't think JC has time to record at Cypress, but both your scores are pretty good ( +8 and -2).  At Pacific, you have a good score at +5.  If you want to try to improve it, then play and post (again, I don't think JC has time).

 

What does this all mean?  You both have scores at all courses, so you can "stand pat" with what you've got.  I'll update the scoreboards to see were you both are at, and adjust the Finals pairings to include you both.

 

Finals should start Tuesday and run for about a week (some of us like to play faster, but I think being flexible to other's schedules will keep folks coming back).
