I found this video by Jeremy Mayo. Different way to do retaining walls. This would be too wide for my course but I'm thinking I could put 2 retaining walls of thickness around mine. I have to decide to go for smoothness or closer to the real thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF2Ckre3PgA |

Golden Horseshoe GC (L) is published. I'm not completely happy with it but it was the best I could do.   |

Great job mate 👏
I don't absolutely love the colours but, do you know what, they do suit the course. They suit the mulch, and the trees actually slot in nicely as well. So I liked the colours more than the alpha/beta, even if you didn't change them 😉
As for the rest, spot on planting and sculpting, and plays a dream. Some really interesting holes too. This is a good addition to your portfolio 😃👍
I shot -6 on the front 9! Then got to -7 on hole 10 or 11, then all pars until a bogie on the last 🙄 could've been an amazing round...

Thanks for the compliments Leon!, yeah I changed the colors from the alpha and betas. I was going to go with the color I had in GHGC 4 but changed them right before publish. I had a very hard time picking the colors but eventually settled on what I thought was the closest to the real course. I saw you played the white tees. I'm glad you enjoyed the course. Thanks for giving it a play! 🍺🍺⛳🏌️♂️ |

I just finished playing a 4 round tournament with all 4 pins from the Gold Tees. Headed to the club house at Even par. I did christen the course in the third round with a HIO on the par 3 12th!

Very nice course. The 1st hole made me think “Par 5, drive and a wedge? I’m going to crush this one”. No, I didn’t think so, haha. And the green made sure I was happy with a par. Have you made something to the heavy rough? I have never had so thick rough every time. Like the US Open. Had to pitch with a SW from 18 yds. And the steep edges off the greens had me pitching from under 10 yds a couple of times. I like it when I have to think about my shots.
Played from the back tees, made sure of that, haha.

The pitch is a very effective shot from 10 to 20 yard, tbh I probably use it more than chip from those distances. Going to gives Wade's course a try this weekend. |

I guess I could as well, but if there's not an advantage to fly it all the way, I feel I got a better chance holing it with a chip. |

I guess I could as well, but if there's not an advantage to fly it all the way, I feel I got a better chance holing it with a chip. I guess it's a mental thing for me, irl I chip or pitch with a LW or SW from heavy rough. I really like the feel of the pitch LW from 10 to 35 yards, it is from 35 to 53 it gets more difficult to guage distance. |

I really like the feel of the pitch LW from 10 to 35 yards, it is from 35 to 53 it gets more difficult to guage distance. Yes, those long pitches are tough. IRL I usually manufacture a shot with my SW, grip down, move the ball in my stance etc for what I feel the situation needs. In the game, it’s more restricted, but I still pitch on feel/experience only. |
