Hey John,
Have you considered adding one or two short holes to the course to eliminate very large groups and ghost groups?
Yes, I wish we could! Tried to figure out some places where this is worth it and right now, it just doesn't work. Not enough space that isn't super rough. In previous tournaments, we always have a backup on 4 no matter how we set up, so adding holes anywhere but 4 wouldn't alleviate t ... more
Yes, I wish we could! Tried to figure out some places where this is worth it and right now, it just doesn't work. Not enough space that isn't super rough. In previous tournaments, we always have a backup on 4 no matter how we set up, so adding holes anywhere but 4 wouldn't alleviate the wait. Groups will be 5-somes with 2 or 3 ghost groups. Unfortunately, people are going to have to expect a wait during the tourney.
How about some womens tee pads?
I am consulting with the women on that. I don't want to ruin the integrity of the course for them just so that we have shorter wait times on each hole. Last year, as far as I know the ladies did not slow up the tournament any more than the AM groups. We should all go into this knowing we'll be waiting on several holes, especially 4.
