Clearly the 17th green is not very well done. It's obviously got a big slope in real life, and the designer has tried to recreate it, and gone too far, or set green speed too high. The rest of round 4 pins has some slopes, but nothing crazy. Calling a whole course "arcade" and "tricked up" because of one hole is pretty ridiculous. Doing it as only your 2nd ever post after being signed up for months is downright hilarious.
The course was a fairly easy and benign setup. It wasn't designed to be hard or "tricked up," there were just one or two minor errors on it. I got 3 birdies and an eagle on 17, so I LOVE the hole 😉
I'd hardly call his post a "tantrum". He strongly criticized the course, and I think the course (at least the greens) deserves the criticism. He didn't address anyone or anything except the course. Your response, however, edges some towards a personal attack, and we don't need that here. I agree his climate change post was antagonistic, but for him and me that is a serious hot-button issue. You and I and he disagree strongly about that stuff. You made a good call at the time to end the debate. Please use the same discretion now.
I asked Neil to join this society because he's a good video golfer who also believes that the good of the game is greater than any individual performance. He, too, was sick of the exploits being used over at TGCT. It was a bitch, though, getting him to give up his green grids.
Cheers.
You and I disagree strongly on science stuff, and I treat you with respect because you're a valued member here, with a history of positive relationships and friendly posts on the forum.
Neil has posted twice on this forum, both extremely negative posts. "Tantrum" is a strong (but accurate!) word, however I don't accept I've personally attacked him. I also don't think he's deserving of the same respect/treatment as you, for the reason listed above. What you give out to people is what you receive back in life.
You're clearly a friend of his, so I respect you sticking up for him, but I don't share your view on my treatment of him. He didn't attack anyone, you're right, but it's literally that fact of choosing to post twice on our forum, both angry and negative posts.
As for the greens, you and Anders have both said this "bumpy" thing, and I just didn't see it! None of my putts rolled off after starting on a good line. I don't think it's an amazing course, and we won't be coming back, but don't get the hate at all, just didn't see what you have seen.
