Mike P, What's the word?  Any progress?  I would really like to help out with any planning and installing when this gets going.

Which rounds will be up top vs down under? I don't know about everyone else, but I feel like the top divisions (MPO, MPM, MA1) would definitely prefer to play Down-Under 1st, and finish up top.

Also, I feel like we had this exact discussion last year.

If it gets windy throughout the day, you will want to be down under in the afternoon, with your flask.

I wonder if they made some of the changes we suggested, or if they just threw it in the ground.

Anyway, here is the location:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Baldwin+City+Lake,+Baldwin+City,+KS&hl=en&ll=38.754569,-95.159057&spn=0.007187,0.013937&sll=38.757831,-95.139799&sspn=0.057493,0.111494&oq=Baldwin+City+lake&t=h&hnear=Baldwin+City+Lake&z=17

And Map, which is probably very close to the same.

Not sure how we will play holes 12 & 13 on Little Blue when the short pin sleeve on (Normal Hole 11, Little Blue 12) is bent.  If you have to move it to long position(in trees), that is where Hole 13 is played to.  So either a temp basket will have to be placed, or skip 13 and play normal Hole 17 to finish and equal 18 holes. 

Unless the pin has been fixed or can be fixed in 2 days   It was bent on Monday.

Also need 4 red baskets from Swope.

I heard that Hole 1, 2, 6, and 11 were all missing from someone who played Saturday.  Is this true?  Are we missing even more baskets out there now?

I believe there was about 20-25 people out.

Beautiful day, and a fun course. 
They did not get the fairways mowed as wide as they wanted on about 6 holes, so there was 25 foot fairways instead of 50ft.  Which created quite a bit of OB shots. But playing a safe shot, could avoid taking too many strokes.

There is a few tweaks that will need to be done to the course, but otherwise, there is a lot of fun shots, and a few water-hazards(I think 10 or so discs found their way into the lake.

I only know some Open scores
Babbit     52   47   99   (With a killer ace on hole 4 to finish round 1, but not in ace fund:()
Hesting   51   51   102
Q Street  54   53   107
Lazzo      55   59   114
Weaver   59   57   116
Wizzby    65   56   121
??

Overall, was a great day, and only about a 40 minute drive from my house in PV.  I believe you can camp at the lake too.  Not sure when the course will be put in for good, but it will eventually have tees, multiple pins, etc.  Probably next spring/summer.

I was just out there to check things out. How are we to play when the grassy area east of the lake is still waist high prairie grass thats not been mowed all year. Are you sure this is really going on. I live in baldwin and I don't see this working this sunday. I want to play and give my opinion on this course. I guess I ll have to go out and see if anybody shows up. Does anybody have more info on this tournament?

In Response

Joe Hesting -  "There is some worry on the KCFDC board, due to somebody going out there and saying there is no mowed fairways as of yesterday. Do you know, are they getting mowed today, or what's the story? So we can ease this Fear of tall grass:)"

Micheal Carson - "Just got confirmation that the course has been mowed. They only mowed the fairways, that could be why someone is saying it is not mowed."

16 is in the short on the side of the hill, this is the first time i have seen 18 at the top of the hill.  Also 13 has a new placement short within some trees by the road.

Don't you mean 15 is in the short?  I thought the only 16 short was under the tree?

I think you are confused on your holes

That's why the long is the best. Very hard 3, but not even an easy 4 with the slope around the basket.  both short placements are "throw far, lay-up, and move on"

Got the go ahead.  They are encouraging all players to come check out the course.  If you can play the tourney, great.  But come take a look either way.

I'm going to try to make it out there for the 10:00 round, but might be later depending on how much Halloween Party hangover is sticking around. 
Gotta figure out how much I want to see the Chiefs take the Browns to Pound-town.
