Tim Grunwald Oct 25, 2022 Because I have gotten complaint about putting them on long tees in the past

Tim Grunwald Oct 25, 2022 I am open to switching everyone back to the long tees, if there is enough support for it since it seem essentially everyone signed up for the short tees are in Rec.

Tim Grunwald Oct 25, 2022 Noah, I would prefer that everyone plays to the same baskets which is why I had decided to just do the Blue and Red Layout.

Tim Grunwald Oct 26, 2022 Thanks for the feedback. MA40 is now set up to play from the long tees.

Corie Anderson Nov 2, 2022 Agreed. Even the women at MN Ams hated the reds. That's why I didn't sign up (now I'm injured so it doesn't matter but just FYI).

Tim Grunwald Nov 2, 2022 Thanks for the feedback. since we are only a couple days away we will keep the current pools, though I will likely just use the long tees in the future.
