Blackhawk is still being played by A pool. I think a bigger factor is the flood of A Tiers within a month of Oklahoma Open...Keeper of the Chains, 4SO, Nevada, Coral Fall Classic, Buffalo Run, Arkansas Masters...that's a lot of action and competition!!!

Full disclosure - we haven't made up our minds on whether we're going to make the road trip, but playing a single round at Blackhawk is unfortunately giving us pause. I know nothing about Postoak, but it does mean learning a second course I don't know which is at least one more day of practice / travel / expenses, etc, in addition to the uncertainty of not knowing if Postoak is worth the roadtrip.

It might be. But that's the rub of switching courses up - it becomes an unknown and that means a gamble.
