Other than the 6000 feet of rope, yes.

Swope Gold was put in place yesterday (I'm the course designer out there), so you should have a chance to look at it before the tournament. I highly suggest at least walking it and figuring out where you want to position yourself on those multi-shot holes. The only thing to keep in mind...

Finally. I want some good, big colors.

If you consistently shoot under par you probably belong in advanced.

All the divisions are playing Rosedale and Waterworks. I know the CC of a Waterworks has been talking to be about my sadistic love of rope, so there may be some added challenge at Works.

I use it all over the place. I even throw it on the very downhill, 500' hole #1 at Waterworks.

Nothing. Everything that I said would never leave (hello Wizard and Roc) are downstairs with my other extras. So even the staples like the Nuke and PD could all be on the chopping block.

I'm getting the scorecards later this week for all the rounds at Swope, but if I had a guess, it looks something like this: 3 2 2 4 5 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 4 3 3 2 3 That big block of 2's really helps. Also, going 4 3 3 on the 3 Par 4's on the back 9 help.

I finally got my first PD ace after throwing these things since they've come out! A pink DGR P PD skipped into the chains at Waterworks #17 set in the long position!

Swope isn't hyzer after hyzer. Without rope it can be, but there's a lot of technical shots out there.

So back to Kansas City...

I would say a McBeth vs Climo discussion is like a McIlroy vs Tiger debate. McBeth is the best player in the game right now. He's got big D to be in the top tier of distance guys. He's probably the best shot worker in the game right now. He putts well. He thinks the best on the course. And...

The only hole I saw him really miss was #11 (#8 on the standard course). He facemasked the putt. KC locals already know this, but I have designed the Swope Gold configuration for the past 4 years. This year had more chances to score but a lot more risk, and at the beginning of the week I...

That's in regards to #10. But it also appiles to #2.

Bitches.
