Eric Heckard Please tell us we're going to be able to throw off the grass. Dec 10

Garrett Smallwood Dec 10 And is there any way to get them to not water for a couple of days before? I was out there on Friday and it was a swamp.

Steven Wetherill Dec 10 Second and third this. I played last weekend and slipped a couple of times.

Tom Osterdahl Dec 11 The parks department and city know about the tournament. I will stay in touch with them about the watering schedule. They are very supportive with our events.

Riley Turner Dec 11 Thanks Tom for chiming in. Tom is the course manager and works with the town for optimum conditions.

Steven Wetherill Dec 13 As always, we appreciate your help, Tom!

Tom Osterdahl Dec 16 It's my pleasure to help!

We hear your concerns.....and agree. We will have alternative tee pads on the grass at holes 2, 5 and 18. I've played the course a few days in a row and did not find any other tees slick. Are there others any of you have a concern about?

Garrett Smallwood Dec 20 16 gets bad too.

Mike Hughes Dec 21 Thanks Garrett, I'll take another look 16.

Hi Mike, I played yesterday and as someone who has a hard plant, I found almost every tee to be too slippery (the exceptions being the short holes I could throw a standstill from). In addition to the alternate tees you mentioned, is it possible to allow 2 feet to the sides and rear of all tee pads if we find footing on the pad unworkable?
