Haha…they are like tic-tacs for bears. That would have made a good advertisement for Callaway or Titleist…
“Our balls are so durable…even a bear can’t crush them…” That line appeals to my sophomoric sensibilities too.

Reminder that the Bohemian Rhapsody is currently on for four rounds. I’m at a loss as to why I’m playing so poorly. I’m +3 I think after two rounds. This is not a hard course, but I just am a bit off on my swing today.

It happens. Three rounds (RL) last week I was gettin cocky: ball-striking was great. Last two rounds I can’t stay outta the woods. And no idea why. Moon phase perhaps…

Same for me. The course is easier, the settings have the power meter in, so should be easier, yet I think I was on the fairway a handful of times off my drives.
I’m wondering if because the power meter is on, we’re trying to hit the distance sweetspot and over hitting distance wise, which causes control issues.
I tried in a few drives just watching the swing, like last weeks settings, and was better, but distance suffered with 92-95%.
All rounds done for me. I didnt have a good final round. Mainly due to one hole where I had a triple bogey, I think you both are in with a shout.
Have fun chasing me down.

No problem. I had been planning to meter them out and have been flying some weird trips in the wee hours of the night. Hoping I can get in two rounds tonight!

Oh man…I just sat down to play Round 3 and 4 and see the event expired…! 
I guess it ends at the stroke of GMT…which means if I want to play up until Sunday evening I need to set the date for the stroke of midnight GMT on Monday night. That was a screw up! Congrats to @keets on the default win! I guess I shouldn’t have lingered at the beer cart so long…

Aw man, a default win feels like a defeat. Keep it. 
It’s a shame as I think you would have enjoyed the chase and likely caught me.

Next event should be up tomorrow. This time I think I have it set to run through Monday - hopefully. That should give everyone a chance to wrap it up by Sunday night and a bit into Monday morning depending on your time zone.
The 4-round event will be at the Cape Canary course. I think this course is tough, but fair. There are some opportunities to put it out of bounds though…so there could be some movement on the leaderboard as the result of just a hole or two. I suggest playing a practice round to get the feel for it. I played a practice round with the default settings and finished the round at +7…but saw lots of room for improvement.
Conditions should have fair weather four Round 1 and 2, with a bit of a sloppy day on Round 3 and fairer conditions on Round 4.
I’m just hoping my balls float. Cough.

Walking to the 15th tee…listening to the wind howl through the trees…playing against a ghost player who is four holes up in match play…

Well everytime I tee off there are some opportunities to put the ball out of bounds! So I’m pretty much screwed then!

We need a golf course that is a perfect circle…

Survived the first round of the Cape Canary event. I was pretty happy to have scrambled my way to a +1 first round…disaster lurks on that course. The default green speed is pretty firm…so account for some roll on touchdown. I haven’t figured out how to put extra spin on the ball.
I’m gathering evidence on my performance though…drinking Malbec last night during the front nine…was +2…drinking Gatorade Zero today for the back nine…was -1. Connection?
I’ve finished all four rounds. A mixed bag. 2 eagles and 2 triple bogies on the first round… 
I won’t spoil the rest of the journey, sufice to say I could have played the last hole if round four a lot lot better.
The four rounds…finished me…!
