It's also longer 248' vs. 224'What does everyone think about this new design on Hole 1? Heard this on SmashboxxTV, and this is the pic from the caddy guide. They added hazards on both sides of the pin.

so, you land in the hazard off the tee, it's spotted at the entry point? putt for 3? meh seems a bit like made up rope maze. if they like it i suppose they can add a pond if it's at the bottom of that hill... i think it's a great hole 1 as is, tightish mid or putter line dead straight down to the pin. i guess if the rope maze is to figure out a permanent obstacle i'm ok with it, although i would think you do the experiment some other time, not at USDGC.

I think I heard they lost a large tree on hole 1 this year as well, down to the right of the green maybe(?) might have made it easier to hit the green, and had something to do with this change.
Yes a very large tree fell on the green. Can't remember which one it was but I'm pretty sure it made the old position much easier
Thanks for the info, can't wait to check out the selection. I'm finding myself bagging 95% Innova so I'll need to write up a wish list so I don't get overwhelmed. There are at least 10 molds I either want to try for the first time or try in a different weight/plastic.They haven't had any kind of competitive disc vendor tents (FlyMart) for the past few years, but they will often have artists and a few niche vendors.
The Pro shop will almost always have some new collectibles for sale. Either some limited runs or some hard-to-find stuff.
They will also have some Roc Fundraiser discs.
The other nice thing is that the selection in the Pro Shop is unparalleled. If you want a lightweight pink Destroyer with a silver stamp, you'll likely find it, and they re-stock often. They'll also have a lot of other stuff in the Pro Shop, like shirts, hats, jackets and other apparel as well as stools, umbrellas, etc.
Pretty much everything Innova makes will be there. The East Coast warehouse is 10 minutes away and if they don't have something in the Pro Shop, just ask them. I believe most of the Pro Shop guys are Innova employees.
They did stock Legacy last year, as well.
I never come away from USDGC empty-handed.
Hope this helps.
Nate Sexton gets my vote for taking down the title this year. He is about to pull a "Brinster" and peak at the right time!

Ugh. All this media rights crap is so cart before the horse it's not even funny.
More content = better. We are way to early in this game to start restricting media rights for people who are willing to film
