Members,
A great example of why you should all go out and sign up to be a TD for the weekly. Sundays layout was great, first time the permeant course was played backwards in a weekly. So props to Sean Jack for taking the time to put together a weekly that tested everyone on every shot, that is what it all about. Each tee pad was prepared well, raked and with flags, signs pointing the way to the next tee, good use of TK's BTC signage. I think we saw a couple of aces, lots of new looks at some of the baskets and a general good vibe out there.
There is a but in this, every TD needs to think about pedestrians, erosion and safety issues when putting together a weekly layout. Also this type of layout is not possible during the spring and summer months when the general public is out and about in the park and playing DG on our course. If you had people trying to play the course when the weekly was playing backwards you would have a mess on your hands. With more than 75 on average coming out to play the weekly you have to take in to consideration when planning unique layout.
As a past and present TD i have taken some, ok a lot of abuse for planning wacky layouts for the weekly. I really want to continue to see great, though out, layouts for our weekly. We have a great course, great members and lots of Sundays to come, so lets keep our eyes and ears open.
Again PROPS to SJ for a dope layout! i think i had 4 bogies, a 5 and a 6! yeah
