Thanks for the kind words, folks!
cricketrules: very glad to hear that you'll try and qualify for the Ryder Cup. And btw, I agree with you: if there's one sport that's better than golf, it's definitely cricket! It's the thing I miss most about living in California.

Here's the latest update of the UEL Tour Standings spreadsheet to include the credits awarded for last week's tourney (wk11 at St. Andrews), so it's all fully up-to-date now.
Congrats to KonradOse who came in strong on the last day with a 56 to pip bhoese's 57 in the TL tourney, with ColumbusStorm also shooting a fine 58 for 3rd. In the Legend tier, 3 players tied with 60s, with Hef111 grabbing the tiebreaker over cricketrules and naamasula.
I got this outrageously lucky putt on #2, and the eagle wind on #9, and thought it was going to be my day, but I left too many shots out there, failing to make birdie on the par 3s or par 5s, to finish 2 back.
So... we've now reached the finale of this initial, experimental UEL Tour, with Wk 12 under way at Whistler (again! making it 3 times at this course in this tour... such is life. It's a pity we haven't had a full rotation, missing out on Congressional, but one can't complain about getting the chance to play Whistler in unevens, something we can't do in practice mode).
Shoe, if you're reading, any chance of there being a full rotation of courses in the next 12 weeks? And have you had a chance to think about the feedback regarding higher prize funds for these UEL weekly tourneys: increasing the incentive to encourage top players to participate (at least to have a good chance of recovering ball costs). One suggestion was to assign these tourneys WGT Nation status and prize pools... What do you think?
Next week I'll set up and start a new UEL Tour spreadsheet. The next edition will be a 12 week tour taking us up to mid-June, just before the VUSO final rounds. Please note: this next edition will also be the qualifying event for any players wishing to be a part of the next UEL Ryder Cup, to be held at Pinehurst after the summer.
Since some people couldn't access the new Google Sheets, here again are some snapshots of some of the Standings sheets here in the thread (note that they're only the top 35+ places, just what fits on my screen). I'll do a final wrap-up next week to this Tour.
In the TL categories, FairwayRuepel is mounting a strong challenge for GolferDad's 2nd spot in some of the standings, while fmagnets has a secure lead at the top.
