Worst. Front 9. Evah. :rant:

[PilotMan]

Tough course today. Just can't seem to get any traction and dropping a shot isn't helping. Lucky for me, it looks like if Chucky can get some putting mojo back he might be able to get back to even, or hopefully drop a stroke while everyone goes the other way.

This course is actually a really hard one, I build it from the stroke averages of real play and there are just a lot of hard holes on this course.

Texas Open – San Antonio, Texas


Hole 1 : Par 4, 454 Yards
This is a strong starting hole, playing slightly downhill into the prevailing wind. An accurate tee shot is required to help the round get started on the right note. Aim the drive down the left side of the fairway to give you a better angle into the green. A good drive will leave a long- to medium-iron for your second shot into the well guarded green. If you miss on your approach, missing right is the best shot into one of the many collection areas found on the course. Left is trouble for all, as a large and cavernous bunker awaits. The front bunker is not nearly as treacherous. The green is moderately undulating, but still putt with caution. A par is a great start to your round.


Hole 2 : Par 5, 602 Yards
Just as you found on the first hole, the second is slightly downhill and into the prevailing wind. The bunkers are seemingly in the middle of the fairway, but don't be afraid, go ahead and use your driver. The bunker is only in play for the longest of hitters. This is a three shot hole, so accuracy is a premium on your second shot. Use your longest, straightest club with precision to ensure your third stroke will be played from the fairway. The third shot calls for a short iron played into a well guarded double green. A word of caution. There is an 8,000 square ft. bunker hiding behind the green which awaits any slightly thin approach. Pars on the first two holes will find you ahead of the game.


Hole 3 : Par 3, 213 Yards
This beauty is one of only two holes on the course which requires a carry over water. This hole is not for the faint of heart. A confident swing is required with a medium or long iron to carry the water and reach the green. The only miss for the player on this hole is long. It is a must for players to land their tee shot on the appropriate level of the green. Players who find themselves on the opposite side of the pin will have to summon their best touch to avoid a three putt. Once again, par is a good score here.


Hole 4 : Par 4, 481 Yards
The fourth is possibly the most difficult par 4 on the front nine. This hole was the first hole to be grassed during construction and has a stately and majestic feel about it. The tee shot requires power and precision as the fairway is one of the narrowest on the course. A well struck tee shot leaves the player with a long iron or fairway wood second shot to a beautiful but devilish green. This green site is one of the most picturesque on the course with old gnarly oaks trees around it along with artistic bunkers featuring a rock out-cropping along the back edge. This green has significant movement in it, and two putts for the player will be considered a success. Par on this hole is like a birdie.


Hole 5 : Par 4, 342 Yards
Time to take a break. After the demanding first four holes, we turn to the shortest par 4 on course. Playing downhill and downwind, this short hole provides a myriad of options for all players. Let the big dog eat and try to drive the green or play safely to the fairway with an iron. The short second shot must be played from the fairway in order to hold the subtle but challenging green. While the green looks flat, don't be fooled. It slopes from front to back allowing only crisply struck shots to stop quickly. A good chance for birdie for all players.


Hole 6 : Par 4, 403 Yards
As players walk up to the sixth tee, they are presented with one of the more beautiful tee shots on the course with signature oak trees framing both sides. From the back tee, the player must carry over almost 200 yards of native area to find the fairway. The best tee shots will finish on the right side of the fairway, leaving the player with the optimal angle into a difficult green. The green setting is spectacular with majestic oaks serving as a backdrop. This second shot is played into a green which is well protected on the left with a large bunker and roll-offs to the right. Be cautious for back hole locations because going long leads to almost certain bogey.


Hole 7 : Par 3, 207
The second par 3 of the course plays slightly uphill with the wind coming from the right. The seventh green is the larger portion of the double green the player encountered while playing the second hole. The monstrous 8,000 sq. ft. bunker, which was hidden from the player on the second hole, is clearly evident from the tee. A high tee shot with a soft landing is called for in order to hold this long, narrow green. Par is always a good score, but especially here.


Hole 8 : Par 5, 604 Yards
The second par 5 on the front nine is the exact opposite of its neighboring par 5, Hole No. 2. This hole plays uphill and downwind, stretching more than 600 yards in length from the back tees. Try to avoid the left side off the tee and the beautiful specimen oak that was transplanted to this hole from the 14th. A good tee shot will find the player at the crest of the hill. The second shot can be anything from a mid-iron to a fairway wood, depending on your preferred approach shot. It is vital that the player's second shot ends up in the fairway, allowing for a controlled approach to this split level, heavily contoured and well protected green. Finding the right level on the green is important to ensure you don't spend too much time putting around.


Hole 9 : Par 4, 474 Yards
This is the only hole on the course without a bunker. This straightaway par 4 requires both accuracy and brawn off the tee. The key to this hole is finding the green with your second shot. While the player faces no bunkers guarding the green, the green is long, narrow, and protected by sharp fall-offs on all sides. This is one of the deepest greens on the course, so select the club for your approach carefully. Once you find the green, your job isn't finished. While seemingly flat, the green has a distinct back-to-front slope. If your putt is aimed towards downtown San Antonio, it is a fast one!


Hole 10 : Par 4, 447 Yards
The back nine begins with a beautiful, downhill par 4. The tee shot must find the fairway, preferably down the left side. A well struck tee shot leaves a player 140 to 160 yards onto an elevated green that is well protected by deep bunkers on all sides. Since this hole typically plays into the wind, a player's second shot must be solidly struck to find the safety of the putting surface. Players must avoid a short right miss which will leave a difficult pitch. Make a par on this one and you are ahead of the game.


Hole 11 : Par 4, 405 Yards
The 11th is one of the most striking holes on the course. Players face a decision off the tee, to challenge the cross bunker which requires a 220 yard carry from the back tee, or play safely laying up short of the bunker. This hole rewards heroism because a great tee shot leaves only a short pitch to the green. A short drive on the right side means carrying a deep greenside bunker on the approach. Once on the green, the player's work is not done. The green features some interesting pitch and roll to catch your attention. The player may be rewarded with a birdie for playing aggressively.


Hole 12 : Par 4, 410 Yards
The 12th is short but dangerous. The player may chose any club off the tee. The key is being straight and in the fairway. Playing from the rough will almost assure the player a bogey. The second shot will only be a short iron but is played uphill and downwind to an elevated green protected by a set of enormous twin bunkers which are the deepest on the course. Believe it or not, the best miss on this hole is long, leaving the player a simple chip back. Miss it short, right or left, and you will be busy. It is fairly short, but 4 is a great score.


Hole 13 : Par 3, 241 Yards
The first par 3 on the back nine is also the longest on the course. From the tee you can see downtown San Antonio, and the best play is a right-to-left shot to find the center of the green. This green is one of the largest on the course, and if you find it with your tee shot you'll be rewarded with the opportunity of a make-able putt.


Hole 14 : Par 5, 567 Yards
This is the shortest par 5 on the course and it gives you a chance for birdie or better. The fairway is relatively wide compared to others on the course and stronger players have a chance to reach the green in two. A simple layup leaves players with a short pitch to the green. Make sure you favor the left side on your layup since finding the bunker on the right will lead to almost certain bogey. The player who navigates the first two shots properly has a great opportunity for birdie.


Hole 15 : Par 4, 464 Yards
The 15th hole begins the fantastic finish on the course. Avoid the fairway bunker on the right off the tee and you should have a mid to short iron into the green. This smallish green is protected by some of the most artistically designed bunkers on the course. The cross bunker some 40 yards short of the green makes the green appear closer than it actually is. If you can find this green in two, your putt should be near the hole. Make par here and you have taken your first step towards a fantastic finish.


Hole 16 : Par 3, 183 Yards
The short 16th features a creative green defined by beautiful bunkers on both sides, and the unique feature of a bunker in the center, which divides the green into three smaller targets. An assortment of teeing areas offers the player not only different yardages but different angles onto the green. Put it on the right spot of green and birdie or par is almost a certainty. Put it on the wrong side of the bunker and anything goes.


Hole 17 : Par 4, 347 Yards
Birdie time. The 17th hole is a risk-reward opportunity for players. Aggressive players may have the opportunity to try and drive the green. The fairway is the widest and most generous on the golf course. For the player to have the best approach into the green, he must find the upper portion of the fairway, which is protected by a beautiful and dramatic bunker. Although the player can find room down the left side of the fairway, it leaves a much more difficult approach into the green. The main protections for this hole are the massive bunkers and a green with significant movement. Birdies should be plentiful.


Hole 18 : Par 5, 591 Yards
A fantastic finishing hole. The 18th is a long, uphill par 5. The tee shot should be shaped left to right in order to remain in a fairway sloping from right to left. After the tee shot, players should play up the right side, being cautious to avoid the creek which bisects the fairway and the spectacular bunkers on the right. The third shot will be played with a short iron uphill to a green which is split into three levels and is well protected by a hill country creek and three bunkers. Players may have visions of making a final birdie to win the tournament on this one.

General Update

On Wednesday I'll be heading out of town with Bear for the Southeastern Sectional swim meet. I wanted to give all of you a heads up because I'm planning on doing training this week, but I won't start the tournament until I get back. There's just too much going on right now for me to focus on it, and I don't want to end up making a bunch of errors. Wanted you to be aware so you weren't wondering about the lack of activity.

[Breeze]

General Update

Ok, before I run training I wanted to take second and level set...

We are starting the Texas Open which is the 8th tournament of the season. Meaning we have this event, the next event, and then the US Open. Remember that everyone needs to have a week off in the first half of the season. Currently I show the following:

- Schaplowsky - took off week 4
- Nielsen - no off week
- Koekela - no off week
- Brown - no off week
- Ginsberg - took off week 6
- Babson - took off week 4
- Palmer - no off week
- O'Peake - took off week 6
- Justyce - took off week 6
- Fujita - no off week
- Jaily - took off week 1
- Dawson - took off week 1

I may have forgotten to note an off week, so let me know if I have anything wrong here. Also if you haven't taken a week off, let me know if you are planning to miss this week, next week or the US Open?

[AnalBumCover]

Fujita has missed a week... I believe it was week 3 or 4.

(edit) it was post #366 for the Bay Harbor Memorial tournament.

The second shot will only be a short iron but is played uphill and downwind to an elevated green protected by a set of enormous twin bunkers which are the deepest on the course. Believe it or not, the best miss on this hole is long, leaving the player a simple chip back. Miss it short, right or left, and you will be busy. It is fairly short, but 4 is a great score.

Hole 13 : Par 3, 241 Yards
The first par 3 on the back nine is also the longest on the course. From the tee you can see downtown San Antonio, and the best play is a right-to-left shot to find the center of the green. This green is one of the largest on the course, and if you find it with your tee shot you'll be rewarded with the opportunity of a make-able putt.

Hole 14 : Par 5, 567 Yards
This is the shortest par 5 on the course and it gives you a chance for birdie or better. The fairway is relatively wide compared to others on the course and stronger players have a chance to reach the green in two. A simple layup leaves players with a short pitch to the green. Make sure you favor the left side on your layup since finding the bunker on the right will lead to almost certain bogey. The player who navigates the first two shots properly has a great opportunity for birdie.

Hole 15 : Par 4, 464 Yards
The 15th hole begins the fantastic finish on the course. Avoid the fairway bunker on the right off the tee and you should have a mid to short iron into the green. This smallish green is protected by some of the most artistically designed bunkers on the course. The cross bunker some 40 yards short of the green makes the green appear closer than it actually is. If you can find this green in two, your putt should be near the hole. Make par here and you have taken your first step towards a fantastic finish.

Hole 16 : Par 3, 183 Yards
The short 16th features a creative green defined by beautiful bunkers on both sides, and the unique feature of a bunker in the center, which divides the green into three smaller targets. An assortment of teeing areas offers the player not only different yardages but different angles onto the green. Put it on the right spot of green and birdie or par is almost a certainty. Put it on the wrong side of the bunker and anything goes.

Hole 17 : Par 4, 347 Yards
Birdie time. The 17th hole is a risk-reward opportunity for players. Aggressive players may have the opportunity to try and drive the green. The fairway is the widest and most generous on the golf course. For the player to have the best approach into the green, he must find the upper portion of the fairway, which is protected by a beautiful and dramatic bunker. Although the player can find room down the left side of the fairway, it leaves a much more difficult approach into the green. The main protections for this hole are the massive bunkers and a green with significant movement. Birdies should be plentiful.

Hole 18 : Par 5, 591 Yards
A fantastic finishing hole. The 18th is a long, uphill par 5. The tee shot should be shaped left to right in order to remain in a fairway sloping from right to left. After the tee shot, players should play up the right side, being cautious to avoid the creek which bisects the fairway and the spectacular bunkers on the right. The third shot will be played with a short iron uphill to a green which is split into three levels and is well protected by a hill country creek and three bunkers. Players may have visions of making a final birdie to win the tournament on this one.

Tie for 5th place money is not what Chucky had in mind at the turn. However, a -2 for each round proves how maddeningly consistent he is. Where's his menace stat that makes everyone quake in their boots and play like crap?

I've not had time recently to continue building new courses and we are rapidly closing the gap between what's available to play and what we've already completed. I'm going to need some time to finish a few more courses...

I've come to the point where my involvement has waned a bit and my training and SOP instructions are just carried over from previous ones. I think a break from action - for me at least - would do me good.

This probably begs the question of "is anyone enjoying this enough for me to continue to do the dynasty?"

I think the pieces of the game would be easier to understand and play if you had an interface that provided you with ongoing detail rather then getting everything explained to you. In fact, the game would probably be more fun in this scenario if I simplified it a bit. Anyway, just curious if I should continue, please let me know your thoughts?

[PilotMan]

I am, but I don't suck awful either. It's been fun to follow along. I think you do a great job with your interactive dynasties. This one has been fun, but if my guy was awful I'd need to retool him somehow or be able to improve. Failing that, I'd lose interest. To that end, if you don't want to continue I'd understand.

I'd be happy to continue, I like interactive sports projects
