TAN-70

The TAN crew landed in Pennsylvania, at the beautiful Madison Club, a delightful version made by TAN founder and member Skunky , who took his designing skills even higher for this one, resulting in a beautiful and very enjoyable course. ZuperAwesomeDad was feeling right at home on this hilly and strategic course carding the winning score of net 65 7 under par and picking up his second TAN crown and the winners purse of 1.000 points! Well played and cobgratulations! Right behind we greet A.Vandelay with a net 66 and Charles carding a 67 to pick up second and third place. This course has its challenges and finding the right lines can be tricky in between the densely wooded hills, and playing ones hcps was a challenge but the field was all in all able to put down some nice scores!

TAN-71

Some big moves on the TAN season leaderboard after TAN#71 at the Gleneagles PGA, with many players climbing the pointsladder! TAN King Weltybeast is making a frontal attack on season leader SimChars after claiming his 12th! TAN victory and taking a commanding lead on that front. Scoring a net 65 7 under par he picked up 1.000 points again, this time sharing first place with Roger, who himself now has 4 TAN wins. Congratulations gentlemen and keep it going, as the TAN fall/winter season is in full swing now with still 21 tournaments on the schedule of which 3 are 2-rounders for double points! Third place on his own is Tuffguts, bagging 750 points and moving up the season leaderboard. Well Played! And to all players: ENJOY!

TAN-72

A third TAN crown for HarveyDog at the beautiful Hesketh GC, who brought it in with a very strong net 63 9 under par score. 1.000 points in the bank and moving up the season leaderboard to 4th place:D . Well played and congratulations! Close behind, also carding a solid score is Bova Kian with a net 64, claiming 2nd place for his own, followed by sharing 3rd place with Tuffguts, Charles and Weltybeast with 65's. It is getting tighter on the season leaderboard with SimChars still leading the field with 8.795 points , but challengers are moving in, climbing up the board. It goes without saying that the more tournaments one can play ever more points will be waiting, so try to find a spot on your schedule to get in the TAN mix! As always to all TAN players: thanx for joining up and playing our cross platform societies! And remember: the 2024 season will soon be presented and starts feb. 1st, with 55 tournaments of which 5 specials (double points!) and... 5 majors (quintuple points!!) .

TAN-73

Results at The Grove Hotel saw a triumvirate claim first place each bagging 1.000 points with carding net 65's to bring it down to 6 under par: Soloryder (3rd TAN crown), InfamousEddieC (4th TAN crown) and Weltybeast (13th! TAN crown) . Congratulations gents! At the top op the season leaderboard things are getting ever more interesting, as all three players are moving up in the top 10 slots, with Weltybeast having season leader Simchars in the crosshairs! The top 10 is showing a cross platform mix with 5 PC-, 4 PS- and 2 XB-players. As a matter of fact, the XB gang is showing signs of slipping as only 20% of the XB members showed up to play at The Grove, leaving Weltybeast, Mr Longpolex and Noworries to defend the colors. A somewhat disappointing number as we have 15! XB TAN members?  Lets get the led out guys! No-shows = no points after all...

Results at Daisy Village, a beautiful design by Adam Benjamin ('Artic Fury'), sees another longtime TANner rise to the top again to take his 4th TAN crown with Mr Longpolex! carding a net 66 5 under par to pick up the winners purse of 1.000 points and move into 6th place on the seasons leaderboard . Congratulations! For second place Charles brought it in with a net 68 and third place is shared with Chris74Jones, Noworries and Simchars with 69's. Well played all! Simchars remains season leader , collecting a total of 10.145 points, but an increasing amount of players are closing in for top position.

Complete mess of the first 7 holes to be 5 over, pretty good fightback on the next 11 to finish under par. Impressive 65 from artvandelay , well played.

[charles56]

TAN-75

TAN-75 @ Tatra GC, another exquisite design by Adam Benjamin ('Artic Fury'), saw the resurgence of non other then A.Vandelay! who crashed the party by crushing it with a spectacular net 62 10 under par score, piercing his handicap big time!! Tatra GC is no push-over as the scores prove, so Art was definitely in The Zone this time. Impressive play and congratulations! 1.000 points in the bank too and moving up the season leaderboard. Second place was shared by Demonondalinks and Weltybeast with net 68's. Weltybeast has taken over top spot from Simchars for the first time with a small pack of players in the hunt to catch up with them. A lot can still happen in the remaining season, as there are no less then 3 'double-headers' ahead on the schedule where double points are waiting for the whole field. No telling what could happen with some strong finishes...

TAN-76

With some delay we can present a new leaderboard after TAN-76 @ the tough Weeping Spruce. Only a couple of players managed to go sub-par on this one, but that was enough to pick up the winners check for Tuffguts , carding a commanding net 68 4 under par: 1.000 points and his 6th TAN crown! Well played and congratulations! Second place was shared by A. Vandelay , who himself is busy stringing some good rounds together in the last weeks, and Skunky !, both pocketing 850 points! Nicely done gentlemen! It looks like some new players want to get their TAN handicaps in before the 2024 season starts, and so they should. On the TAN Season leaderboard WeltyBeast remains top-dog , closely followed by Simchars, looking to take back first place he's claimed most of the season . We now also see Tuffguts getting in the Top 10 after his win and Mr Longpolex climbing ever higher to 5th place... With some interesting tournaments coming up everything is still up in the air!

First win a long time but that was a bit of a freaky round on a tough layout.
Might slip back a bit in the rankings as I'll be away at work for the next week.

TAN-77

TAN finally lands a tournament in Asia where the beautiful Hideki in Japan, a solid design by Eric Perigo ('HoneyBadgerHacker'), was used to great effect with all the new Asian building blocks in the upgraded designer program (next year TAN will again have some excellent Asian courses planned for the full 2024 season). Today we salute non other then TAN KING Weltybeast again, as he continues his great form to win his 13th! TAN Crown to win on Hideki with a convincing net 65 and collect the winners purse with 1.000 points, to bring his total TAN bank account to 11.750 points to remain season leader. Congratulations! Trailing 2 shots behind is BigJawJugrNaut for second place receiving 850 points. Third place is shared by Mr Longpolex, DonkeyPuncherBen and Soloryder coming in with 68's picking up 750 points. In the remaining 15 tournaments for this season there is still lots to play for, as there are 3 double points tournaments included, to collect some important points toward finishing high on the board. Finally, the 2024 season schedule is just about done and will be announced in the coming weeks.. But for now, full steam ahead in 2023!

TAN-78

Grindavick - black proved to be a tough beauty . Almost everybody was not able to play their handicap save a few on this extremely well designed creation by -again- Eric Perigo ('HoneyBadgerHacker'). A tough PAR 69 course which demands top performance. Tuffguts is on a roll picking up a winners check of 1.000 points again and his 7th TAN Crown, but this time he has to share the top spot with our very own Hammers1man! , who picks up his first net win of this season and his 4th TAN Crown total. Congrats gents, well played, with a net 68 1 under par score a impressive result! InfamousEddieC closes the podium on third place with net par 69 and bags 750 points on the board. All in all lots of hard knocks for the rest of the field although still enough points to collect all around. Next tournament is a points bonanza with double points waiting , so lets see how that could shake the season leaderboard up even further!

[charles56]

TAN-79

The 'black swing' in TAN continues with the double header Black Down Hills, a tough parkland course which can scare the best players into submission. But the reward for hanging on is definitely there and none other then 'newby' TAN member RD-Rooster went all the way to cash in on the double bonus of 2.000 points by taking the win for his lonesome! He brought it in with a winning score of net 70/67=137 strokes, 7 under par score to claim his very first TAN Crown! Well played and congratulations!! Second place on his own too we salute BigJawJugrNaut with a net 139, and 1.700,- in the TAN-bank. Third place was claimed by Colly45 with a net 146. Well played all! Only two players managed to take it below par on this one which proves the toughness of this course. Some big moves on the season leaderboard which sees Noworries, A. Vandelay, BigJawJugrNaut and RD-Rooster jumping up and we also see the '10.000 Club' increased to 5 players now, led by Weltybeast who is also increasing his lead, and a group of players in the hunt to catch up. Lots more to play for gentlemen so keep on moving that needle!

TAN-80

The 'black swing' on TAN'23 concludes at Black Betty Basin, an excellent design by Eric Perigo again ('HoneyBadgerHacker') inspired by the classic Pine Valley course (which TAN has scheduled in 2024 btw). We greet Bova Kian as winner (and his 2nd TAN Crown) who netted a strong 67 4 under par score to pick up his winners check. Congratulations Bova! He is closely followed by RD-Rooster! who is making a late season sprint with fine finishes to pick up 850 points on the leaderboard. Well done! Third place is shared by Weltybeast and Colly45, who are sitting on top on the 2023 season leaderboard and looking good! Great playing all! We also greet two new members in Brettsfro and Hawkeye who are trying out at the highest level. Welcome. TAN is the toughest sim because every player has to play to his own level first and then try to score even further in order to climb on the leaderboard. Once you get your TAN hcp you are on your way. 2024 will have a full season schedule of 55 tournaments including 5 'specials' (2 rnds/4 days/double points) and 5 Majors (4 rnds/7 days/quintuple points). Announcements will follow shortly.
