TOURNEY ENDS TODAY ... R1 ran Mon 12/22-Sun 12/28 - play R2 round by Sat 1/3!
It's been over a year now since the last Tough-It-Out event... too long, you all say! ... so we are delighted to announce that, with the help and support of WGTdbloshoe and WGTicon, we're going to have a special Tough-It-Out Holiday event at our newest course, Bandon Dunes.
The Tough-It-Out concept is all about trying to mimic the hardest conditions in Major Championship golf, and give us a challenge of trying to tackle the toughest Open courses in a manner similar to that faced by the top pros.
By using Starter Clubs and Balls only, and doing it with Uneven Lies we believe this is the hardest test on WGT, and it's one that's a level playing field (pun intended) for all participants.
But I hear you all shout, what's the point of Uneven Lies on a par 3 course?!!! Well, it's just an extra incentive to make sure you hit those greens. There are some pretty nasty lies awaiting if you happen to roll off any of Bandon's challenging putting surfaces, so be careful!
We hoped to have this event be an official tourney visible to all players through the game client, but apparently there are some programming issues with that because of the restricted club settings... so it will be accessed just via a link to be posted here: please help spread the word with friends and your cc:
TOURNAMENT ENTRY LINK IS HERE! (starts Mon 12/22)
***Remember, to be in the running for any of the special prizes (see next post below), take SCREEN SHOTS of all f9 & b9 CARDS and all the STATS!!!!!***
The tourney is open to all tiers and levels. We'll all be using the same clubs, balls, green speeds, and lies. We really do want to encourage newbies to give it a go. It's a great chance for new players (who may be more familiar than old fogies with these clubs) to pit themselves against the best on WGT, and for the experienced player, it's a opportunity to revisit the fun of playing the game without the pressure of needing to make a birdie on almost every hole.
Here are the tournament dates and conditions:
R1 :: Mon 12/22 to Sun 12/28 ::
18 holes; Bandon Dunes; Hard (Green) tees, Moderate wind, Tournament speed greens, Uneven Lies, equipment restricted to Starter Clubs and Ball
R2 :: Mon 12/29 to Sat 1/3 ::
18 holes; Bandon Dunes; Championship (Hardest) tees, High Wind, Championship 13 greens, Uneven Lies, equipment restricted to Starter Clubs and Ball
Prizes:
WGT are generously offering a sleeve (of good balls) to the top 10 finishers across two completed rounds.
Other prizes will be announced here shortly. As with prior Tough-It-Out events, we want to encourage sharing of descriptions and snapshotted scorecards and stats, so there'll be special prizes in several categories. And, of course, it would be great if any participants are willing and able to Twitch their rounds.
Any questions, please feel free to ask here in the thread.
Thanks,
Corwyn & CerinoDevoti
