Which tournament Eco. DGLO or USADGC?
No matter what the course looks like I am excited to get out there. I have a few scratches on the body from the Russian Olives I ran into this past weekend. Not a fan, especially when they have thorns.

I can add to this... I "played" the course on Tuesday.
They all have ZERO bushes. Holes that required finesse and accuracy no longer require that - think hole 6... no bushes. So much room for error now.

However, I did hear that the baskets are going in today.....

Baskets are in. Haven't played yet, but I drove by and saw it for myself. Asked someone coming off the course about new basket locations and he said there were 2 new locations, but couldn't remember what holes - someone else told me #4 was moved.

Played yesterday. Baskets 4 and 10 have been moved. 6's teebox appears to have been moved back.
Cant wait, all my dg for about the last year has been in preparation for this tourney. I played toboggan right after the awards ceremony for the DGLO last year and other than selah it was the best course iv ever played. Me and a couple buddies are coming down from TC and need to find a cheap room or a campground with shower/bathroom amenities in the area. If anybody has any input on this i would appreciate it.

Why didn't Winston take advantage of me instead?
im glad those invasive bushes are gone, i just hope some natural/native growth fills in some of void.
Based on scores from this weekend... looks like the course is playing 1.5 shots easier based on the ratings. 56 1013 this year, last year it was a 1027...
The average score will be much more than 1.5 strokes lower this year vs last. The course is still big, but now it's an easy big course. The place we will see the difference is not so much with the top players, because they would find a way to stay out of trouble even with the bushes, but the back of the field will stay closer to the lead without all the jail.
I decided to withdraw from the event for a variety of reasons, the main one being that I'm recovering from a sprained ankle, it's still a little weak/sore, but it has limited my practice to almost nil, and if I was going to make the trip and play, I wanted to be competitive.

Tee times are up.
Please stop by the merchandise tent and say HI! I'll be there all weekend

Interesting though, the course record was not broken. I agree the, opening up of the course, will impact scoring separation vs lower scores at the top. To shoot near the course record, playing the fairway is necessary anyway. That record was not shot with many, if any recovery attempts. There is still plenty of trouble on Toboggan. I don't think I would call this course easy on any scale. Easier perhaps, but not easy.

Sorry to hear that, but who can blame you? No one wants to be in a competitive situation and not be able to give it their best. Hope it heals well and quickly.
Bummer, 'cause I was hoping to meet you.
Are you referring to Izak McDonald?
basically, they're a bit further up on the same hills... #4's is just a bit further back... #'10, considerably so.
#6 tee was moved back about 60 ft or so longer.
I think those were the only changes.

I could care less about ratings close to 1000. However you shouldn't be able to be sponsored and be an AM

You could care less = You give a damn.
You couldn't care less = You don't give a damn.
I could care less when people say "I could care less", and what they mean is, "I couldn't care less".

Why? Is this like the NCAA where amateur players can't even hold jobs? That's essentially what sponsorship is, especially in this sport...you're a sales rep for the sponsor company. In exchange for being a walking talking billboard advertisement, you get some free stuff. You don't even necessarily need to be especially skilled at the game, just visible at your local course(s) and area tournaments. Anybody could do it, really.
