Philo is on fire this year, love the style too. Silky. Adam Hammes is great to watch for the forehand approaches. Mind-blowing to my noob eyes.
But what I'm most wondering is how to get my hands on a couple of those WTO Lunas...I think that's what I saw him putting with, had what looked like an oak stamp. I'm quickly becoming a fanboy.
Anyone from that region want to comment on why the dry creek bed is OB on hole 2?
If an area is ever considered OB with water, it should probably be permanently marked OB so the hole always plays the same.Anyone from that region want to comment on why the dry creek bed is OB on hole 2?

Makes it a harder hole?

It is our rainy season, so sometimes we have run off through there. Mainly though, without it being OB, it's a too easy of a hole.
Aesthetically speaking, a dry creek bed is pretty good OB for 30-days-of-rain-a-year-Southern-California.
Why hole 2 & not the other 17?
The course looks pretty uninspiring...
I guess my point was that the course does not appear to be all that difficult, even with the manufactured ob, so why bother adding it at all.
DISCLAIMER: I've never played the course, but on film & paper it seems pretty short, wide open, & easy...

I accept this answer as truth

I face the same pushback when I talk about making my home course more challenging.
It was designed circa 2000 and has enough spare land to add longer tees and more challenging basket locations.
Even the original designer wants to add difficulty and variety.
The old timers say that it would change the character of the course.
I won't analyze their motives, but the layout could be much improved by some judicious additions.

I know there probably has to be agreement on any redesign, but have you talked to the old timers about splitting the course between half easy and half hard? Possibly make a survey with the option of "keep" or "redesign" on every hole. I'm sure there are some holes that are not as memorable. Keep the ones that are memorable and change the others, if possible.
Just thinking out loud.
Whats your home course? Im from Eastern NC too.
Is Philo always that cranky when he's playing?
