You had to declare it at the tee box, before teeing off on the hole, which was a pain, since 5 of 9 greens on the course we played are blind from the tee box and 3 of the remaining 4 are elevated and give no visual feedback on depth.

It would have been nice (and more fair) if they had supplied us with a map of the pin positions.

Sadly, I played like a complete dunce today, and had no enjoyment what so ever from the format. I had a hard time just hitting the ball, which made the rest of the game quite irrellevant. I was never even close to scoring the powerplay-bonus on the holes I selected, and ended up with a pathetic 10 stableford points for the 9 holes played.

So I'm not going the review the format here, since it simply wouldn't be a fair evaluation. If you all get a chance to play a Powerplay match, I suggest you try it and post about it in here. I will, if I get another chance at it.

I will say this about the first impression ... It didn't strike me as being particularly interesting, but of course, when you struggle getting off the tee, you can't be bothered too much about whether or not you'd be able to par the hole.

From hitting the ball superbly 4 weeks ago, my game has completely disintegrated. All facets of the game has fallen apart. I can't drive the ball, I can hardly hit the ball on iron shots at all, I can't chip, pitch or putt.
Usually, it was only one facet at any given time that sucked. At the moment, it is all of them. But that's another story! :-(
