Re: Old Timers Competition 2024

Don't rush to get your rounds done lads. Robyn and I are going to be away for 9 weeks, during which you have all the time in the world to catch up with my posted rounds. Randy is going to post two new courses and conditions soon for me to play against before we go. (Hopefully, I will find the time. ...

Re: Old Timers Competition 2024

Hi Guys, here's my final round at Eagles Nest Wilderness. I am happy with the score, but boy, did I have to work for it. There are some very challenging pin placements this round and if you don't get your approach in the right spot, you can have some difficult putts to negotiate. Tough, but enjoyabl...

Re: Old Timers Competition 2024

Hi Guys, here's my Rd 3 at Eagles Nest Wilderness. This is a truly beautiful looking course, with some wonderfully challenging holes. Of course, you would expect nothing less from such a talented group of designers. A bit easier off the blue tees in medium winds. I suspect off the black tees in mild...

Re: Old Timers Competition 2024

Hi Guys,

in another example that our handicap system works, here are the results for Round 1 at Kittery Point. Doesn't get much closer than this.

Cheers

Re: Old Timers Competition 2024

Hi Guys,

in the hope of getting you some more rounds to play against, can I please ask Randy to select our next courses and conditions. I will endeavour to get all four rounds done before we go away.

Cheers

Just shows what a thoughtful designer Dirk was.

Re: WorldSwing World Tour 23-24/Recorded Rounds with Tarheel

I often wondered what had happened to Dirk, as he disappeared from the scene all of a sudden. If indeed he did pass away during COVID that is very sad, for, as Steve said, he was a valued member of our GBC community.

Cheers

Re: Old Timers Competition 2024

Hi Guys, here's my Rd 2 at Mephisto Bay. I approached this round with some trepidation, given the strong winds, but thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. I used up a year's worth of good luck in this round, hitting several trees and ending up in very good positions, especially on the 17th. Added to that...

Re: WorldSwing World Tour 23-24/Recorded Rounds with Tarheel

Thanks for the nice comments, Gents. I did start doing the second course, but never finished it. Perhaps, when I get back from our trip, I may find the time to get back into designing, as I have several unfinished courses.

Cheers

Re: Old Timers Competition 2024

Hi Guys, just watched Randy and Galen slog it out in Rd 1 at Kittery Point. If you only watch one match this year, make it this one. This is one of the most entertaining contests I have watched, as it went to and fro for the whole match. I won't tell you the result, you'll have to watch it yourselve...
