Holler in the Hills closed?

[DatRedDude]

we took Thursday as a chance to play this course when playing BG ams. What an awesome course. Glad i played it before all this.

Sad to hear this, hope it turns out well for him. I wonder what this does for BG Ams?

 

[InnocentCrook]

I'd play there again in a heartbeat. Incredible course with very unique terrain.

I just hope the place doesn't get seized.

 

[Shuie]

^ I'm with this guy!!

 

[jasonc]

It is a beautiful course, even in December...

This year was the first time Holler was included in the BG Ams schedule, wasn't it? Worst case scenario, HB makes the schedule like he did in previous years.

I was wondering about the Ams because if HB isn't available to run the Ams in 2016....what happens then? Is there a 2nd in command to take over the TD reigns.....

Please keep forum rules in mind, this isn't the place for a discussion on the legality or morality of currently illegal (or semi-illegal) drugs. I'd like to keep this thread open for discussion of the course and the effects this could have on events etc., but if the thread keeps heading toward the drug discussion we'll have to lock it. Feel free to PM me if you have questions.

The BG Am's TD is HB Clark. The owner of Holler is a different person.

Ah , thanks for the clarification. ^^^

The event gets better and the 15-20K that he pockets on the event is then dumped back into the event, the courses, or like pre HB, a larger pro event?

He has the wool pulled over your eyes.

Sorry, I'm the one who brought Bowling Green Ams into this....just speculating how much grief it would cause the TD of such an event, if the course closing had occurred shortly before the tournament. Imagine the scramble. I didn't mean to imply that the TD or Bowling Green Ams had any connection, other than including Holler in the Hills in this year's event, for some divisions.

^ Goatman - not from what I have heard from numerous people

 

[DatRedDude]

Do people really have an issue with someone profiting off an event like this? The time involved along with the logistics of it are something that i would never want to do. Kudos for him, and i hope he took my entry fee and had a steak dinner.

I don't know (hopefully) that anyone has a problem with a TD especially a TD of an event the caliber and size of Bowling Green making money to compensate for the amount of hard work it takes to put on an event like this. The gripes I have heard basically stem from the "amount" of profit that may or may not have been taken.

 

[jsc430]

Wow. Feels like Jeff Ash Part 2.

 

[Goatman]

I don't have a problem with a TD making money. But the amounts are way off.

 

[Jay Dub]

How do you all know what the amount was?
Is it credible information or Internet chatter?

 

[Goatman]

You just do a little math.
