FIRST OFF, I need to give a HUGE shout out to ALL of the volunteers and tournament staff that have been out prepping the courses the past few weeks. There have been 100's of man hours put in to get these courses ready. We have an amazing community here and are almost ready to show off what we have done! We will continue to be out working this next week marking OB lines and putting on finishing touches to the courses.
We are just about there! The raging Weber river has taken its toll, but we have adapted and made some changes. At the Fort, Holes 1, 4 and 5 will most likely have some changes...Hole 1, the water is right up to the normal basket position. Because of this, we have made a change and turned this hole into a technical Par 4 that turns left once across the stream (before the river) and plays down 1's original fairway to what is now Red #2 basket. I absolutely love the change to this hole and I hope you enjoy it. Hole 4, the county came in last week with heavy equipment and shored up the bank of the river and also filled in the fairway of hole 4. They also created a sort of ditch to let the water flow through rather than collect. Because of this, the fairway is EXTREMELY MUDDY. Having checked it each of the last few days, it is drying out some. We are hopeful that we will be able to drag it early next week and it will be playable. In the event that it is too muddy and not playable, we will move ALL divisions to play the Red tee pad on that hole. It is absolutely playable from there, but like I said, we are hopeful that we will be able to use the entirety of that hole. Hole 5 is another story. The first half of Hole 5's fairway is full of standing, nasty water. Even if it were to somehow go away by next week, the mud would be awful. Because of this we are planning on everyone playing the hole as a par 3 from the Red tee. This is still a challenging par 3 from this tee. I understand that this isn't ideal, but we were able to make hole 1 a par 4 and add some length to the course in that way to hopefully make up for it a little.

Please read through the caddy book and become familiar with it. Tee times should be posted on Tuesday. As always, Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
