I also use Excel, but just save the results and other information as .jpeg images. I am not IT savvy enough to use HTML and I don't know if this forum would accept HTML files.

Cheers

I think you're correct about the forum here not accepting HTML files. Juan's suggestion was using the Ham Hoc Tour's site as a redundant place for posting your leader boards. I don't think that is necessary.

Whisky Run, round 1. This too is a really nice looking golf course. Had a chance to take short irons into the green (but had to power shot off tees to get them) which REALLY was nice!

My 4th round at Gros Morne attached
Some pins at JN6 are crazy, but ball physics are not very real even on hard grounds. If they were like this in real life or Perfect Golf they would be almost unplayable but here the ball fortunately halts near the hole instead of rolling off the green. But I am adapting :)
Wonderful course design, one of my favorites from the past.

Hej John, I organised the Chicken Challenge Tour from 2002 to 2007 at the forum we had then. I think it started with me and Jay Johnson wanting to playing around par, and it grew with like 20 or more players attending. I still have all the rounds we played on my backup drive, more than a 1000 saved rounds. All your courses seem to be there, in each folder there are lots of rounds to play against, if interested I can post or mail them to you.

And here is my final round for the event. Whisky provides different kinds of challenges, even from the white tees. For example, on the back nine there is this wide open hole, ripe for maximum power shot, but doing so and landing wrong side of the fairway, you find yourself obstructed unexpectedly to the green. Others have narrow fairways hard to hit from the tee without shaping the drive. Local knowledge helps because you really need to know where some tee shots will put you behind trees. A couple of times, I hit what I thought was okay, only to find myself looking at the squirrels nest on a branch right in front of me. And I'm not even talking about some of the greens yet!!! On the other hand, how annoyed was I to be off the green after approach due to poor decision from tee, only to see a totally flat green area I SHOULD have been in with better decisions.

Nice round Galen, I played along with you. Good stick on 16!
