I'm in agreement with Doug on this, there's less expensive ways to kep this course a 24...but to play devil's advocate, let's say holes 6 and 8 are taken bc of danger, fine. Hole 15 hasn't had a tee pad i how long, and there's prolly not good spot to put it, it'll just wash away agin. then you have the backtrack to hole 19 or 20 I believe it is, way out away from all the other holes, and you have to walk the actual hole to get there. If removing 6 baskets allow the parks dept, which has already been planting new trees and keeping up on the course much better than in the past, if it allows the parks dept to really maintain a fantastic course, wouldn't the 6 holes be an acceptable loss? Don't get me wrong I like this course alot, but I'd like to see it in great shape and have 18 (and the course stays put) than have them rip it out completely.
