I'm all over it... wondering when I'll earn my gold level Correspondent achievement.Update season is upon us... Things are drying out surprisingly well here in MN!
If you play a course, update the conditions' DO IT!
Took me a while to figure out you need to use the pull down menu in the upper right corner of the app, to update conditions. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't just update the condition straight from the "course page" in the ap. :doh:I hear there's an app for that

Guess I expected it to work more like the website.
This is exactly what I was thinking upon updating conditions from courses I played this weekend. Even if a condition hasn't changed in weeks or months, it helps to know the condition is current.Even if everything's still same, just update and keep the current verbiage if it's still accurate. You're simply sating that those conditions were still applicable at a more recent date.
Conditions don't show if there aren't any so I had to put that in the menu. I thought about putting a button under existing conditions but it just seemed like clutter and redundant to me.
Kudos to everyone for keeping course conditions updated. Great job out there folks! :clap:
IMHO, caution should be taken however in marking a course as 'Unplayable". That stays up until the next person goes there to update, and may keep road trippers away, even when things have gotten much better within even a matter of a few days. While we may feel like it's unplayable due to snow or mud, you have to remember the crazy, er, hardy folks out there who'll play in nearly any condition. If there are baskets, they're throwing.
Personally, I try to mark really rough conditions as 'Bad', and explain what's up. I try to save 'Unplayable' for a course with a locked gate or baskets pulled. The traveling DG player either can't, or shouldn't bother stopping by.
One other idea I was toying with that I haven't implemented was to clear out conditions of 2-5 if they're over a month old. There doesn't seem to be much point in knowing what the course looked like a month ago. If a course has a condition of 1, that would stay since it could be a long term thing.

I can't believe we have to spell this out, but...
Unplayable should only be used when the course is closed. If the course is open, and the conditions totally suck, just pick "Bad" and explain what sucks at the time you played. If it's weather related, it's bound to be better in a relatively short time.
I somewhat hedge on this with regard to some instances. Take, for instance, Marana Rock's complete flooding. The original course *IS* unplayable, and will not be so really any time in the future (if ever). The perimeter course bears little to no resemblance of the original. I haven't market it as unplayable, but it's not worth a road trip to play.
update your course bump.
