    Thanks Johnny, neat gif. I think someone is trying for one from the clubhouse for the outright win, lol. Not me I might add, hehe.  : )

    WGTicon:
    prize: longest putt (you can go for it from the rough too) from above the hole of at least 150ft gets 4 sleeves. first 5 putts of 150ft+ get 2 sleeves. first 10 putts of 125ft+ get 1 sleeve. One prize qualifier per person.

    I act as score-keeper usually for these challenges, and have been asked by Icon to do so again in this challenge. His wording was a little unclear so I am trying to clarify the way prizes are to be awarded with plenty of time remaining in the challenge. I have discussed this with Icon to make sure it is clear.

    His response is as follows:-

    There are 10 prizes on offer. Only 1 prize per person.

    The longest putt = 4 sleeves.     In the event of ties - the first to post breaks ties.

    The next 4 longest putts will receive 2 sleeves each (min qualifying distance = 150 ft and first to post breaks ties)

    The next longest 5 putts will receive 1 sleeve each (min qualifying distance = 125 ft and first to post breaks ties)

    When he said  "first 5 putts" and "first 10 putts"  he meant first in terms of distance -- not first to enter.

    This challenge runs until the end of July 4th (midnight PDT time) - so still plenty of time to make the list.

    Here is the leaderboard as it currently stands....

     

    RoggRR and bdneedle     in case you win a prize - please nominate type of ball.

    Good Luck and Happy Hacking

    Neil (The Hakman)

    Awesome effort Scott.

    I know from experience how hard it is to control the direction from the rough back there. I'm guessing that took 1 or 2 tries??

    Cheers Hakman, you might want to add a couple of zeroes to your estimate though (that's how many it felt like), hehe. ; )

    Great shot Hakman. Got a feeling I'm gonna get booted off the top soon though. : )

    It's hard to find a spot to putt from that is 62 yds (or more). Maybe it will be tough to beat.
