If the pros want to throw 500 down, they should move the event to Lincoln Ridge next year.
I actually wouldn't mind if they changed the format to two rounds at Idlewild and one at Mt. Airy.

Much rather see how they conquer (or struggle with) courses like Idlewild. :thmbup:

The old Airy layout (that started by the first lot) would be fun to watch. I miss having old 18 as a finishing hole (yes, I know I don't have to start by the pro shop).
I guess I'll have to see video to understand why Idlewild crushed the FPO field. I'm going to assume that it's a tough course, even in good conditions.
Agreed. I love the WR Jackson and Maple Hill coverage for that reason. I thought we have so many discs with different flights because we're supposed to be navigating through the trees.
So glad we are in the part of the season where we get good dg courses...
They were also dealing less than ideal conditions and tournament pressure.
There is a pretty big argument going on the local FB page about the Ad wall they putt on no5. I can see both sides' point. On one hand, it did help players out of position have an easier upshot by just rolling a FH into it. Negating some of the purpose behind the design of that hole. That being, having to either play to the green or make a layup as close as you can without going in the creek. On the other, advertising is needed to keep these things going, and that was a great use of those walls for that purpose. They were definitely given lots of airtime.
I think the had the right idea but the wrong location. They should have put some of those along the creek on 17...
I've only ever played the current layout, which hole used to be 18?

Must be all those rounds I have in there then. I never realized that being over par really mattered. Guess I better give up the game then!
That wasn't as much the point as the spread between top 1st place and 9th place players was 40 strokes different.
ppierce29190 I. Love. This. Course. Idlewild is by far one of the most challenging tracks we play on throughout the season, and it truly tests every aspect of your game. To shoot a hot round you are thrilled and to shoot a bad round, well, that is completely understandable. Every tee shot, every green, so much precision is required, this is how I feel disc golf should be! Man, I love being back in the woods where I can throw my convicts and deputies!!! I am hoping for better weather tomorrow so the course can shine as bright in reality as it does in my mind. : @alyssavanlanenimages

Oh, and hole 17 was one of my favorites to watch.
I played it a few years ago. there are several holes that crushed my spirit. In general par is doable, but I remember one hole in particular, uphill tightly wooded dogleg hole. It destroyed me.
when was the last time someone won off the chase card?
