Distances on the map were added, so in complete agreement on that.  Just a few distance errors, other than the hole #2 location, the other thing on #2 is that I don't think that I am going to be able to get the straw bales that I am looking for in time.  I haven't given up yet on that though....

[coops]

Cool.

All I know is that I'm trying to convince my group that hole 2 is actually 380 and is just visually deceptive. 

[jack]

good luck on that, but I did get a good chuckle thinking about it....

My money's on Tallguy! 

I sized G$ up this past weekend.  I can take him.

How come blue valley is a shotgun start? It is the only course we play that day why can't we do tee times?

[bensdadfred]

I believe they are running 2 groups through Blue Valley that day..

[Ken Franks]

no tee times at all this year....

So I got a question. I walked most of swope today and noticed hole 10 is an island. Is there no drop zone? If not do we just empty our bag till we reach it?  And then if I run out of discs what is the procedure at that point?

Why do you prefer tee times? Just curious is all.

Agreed. I think there is an element of excitement to it too. If the tournament is close at the end there is a larger base of players to watch it draw to its exciting close. If there aren't tee times that could happen before the last place people finish and there just seems to be something wrong with that.

Also, many of the best tournaments I've played have been on tee times. GBO and Vibram have been exclusively that way and I think they are better for it.

Cooper pegged it.

....and if you really suck, you play earlier so you can watch the big guns play later.  Not that I would know, just speculating.
