HOLES 6 - 16 HAVE PAINTED OB LINES
My original plan was to paint OB on Thursday, but it literally rain all day. My next plan was to paint Friday morning, but there was snow on the ground and would have been pointless. Last opportunity I had was Friday night after 6:45 pm.
Some of the OB lines are for safety, some are to help define what is or isn’t OB. I painted the lines based on the footing and how likely would the line wash away if it rained. Also, the OB lines for 14, 15, and 16 were done in the dark.
Hole 7 - there is a brush pile within 15’ of the basket. I didn’t realize it was there in the limited amount of daylight I had couldn’t deal with it. I painted an OB line around it because if you landed in the pile it would be very difficult to get a proper lie and footing. I don’t like OB that close to the basket but thought this was the best solution with the time I had available.
Hole 8; first pond hole. The pond is really down due to the dry winter we had, but as you get close to the water the pond bottom is very soft & mucky. Therefore, I painted an OB line quite a distance from the water to what I thought was better footing and preserved the historical intention of the fairway.
Hole 9; second pond hole. Same as 8. There are 3 ways to play this hole. Completely dry left route, a short water carry up the middle, and a very long water carry to the right. There are painted OB lines for the middle and right with flags to help see where the line is. Once you get passed the pond, the creek is casual.
Holes 10 - 14 The road is painted OB. Some of the paint is on grass, some is on the road.
Hole 15 Road and bus parking lot long are painted OB
Hole 16 Mando is marked and private property is painted OB
Hole 17 & 18. Change from previous years. OB line will be the creek. I did not paint an OB line because it was dark.
