New holes are awesome! Thanks to everyone that helped, will there be short pads put in before the tournament?
Scott Fenner
Jun 26, 2018
Yes same question as Evan will shorts be put in for the South course before DGLO?
John Minicuci
Jun 26, 2018
The Short tee pads will NOT be in before the DGLO. Tee pad assignments for all divisions and both Pools will be available later on today.

if no short tees can we (MA50) play from the long tees for safety and footing for us older guys or will we have to play off natural tee pads?
John Minicuci
Jun 28, 2018
No one in the tournament will be playing on natural tee pads.

So, are there short tees or not? The tee assignments have some divisions playing the short tees on the new course.

The nine existing holes before the new holes had short tee pads. The new nine holes will eventually have short tee pads but they will not be installed before the DGLO. Therefore, you will play all of the older 9 holes that have short tee pads and none of the new 9 that does not. I will post a scorecard in the Pictures tab Thursday afternoon of both courses that show the long and short tee pads.

so if I have this straight 9 holes only have long pads and everyone will pay those long pads for those 9 holes, do I have that right?

Mike, I am not 100% but I think there was a hole on the original 9 that had only 1 tee pad. This might mean you have 10 holes with only 1 pad. I will post the scorecard Thursday afternoon when I am certain of what tee pads will be used.

Hey John, Thanks for all the hard work. This is a huge undertaking and I appreciate you giving it your best. That being said, I coming out tomorrow around 1-:00 to get some practice in. If I just play 36 holes (even if out of order)I will have played both courses. How is the signage? Being new, I'm not sure if there will be enough footpath to lead the way. Finally, are these courses Zuca friendly?

Hey John, the score card uploaded is pretty small so I’m having a hard time reading all the distances and pars. Can you please upload a bigger copy? It looks like for the “short layout” on the new course, it’s short tees on the old tees and long tees for the new holes. Is that correct? Tough to tell. Thanks!

The signage on the course is not permanent but as of now, all numbers and distances are in order and correct. I pushed my baby stroller cart through it and others used their Zucas. Very cart friendly.

Jon, right click on the image and download it. It is pretty big in size. DGS does not properly configure big images well.

I'm having an issue printing a legible copy of this score card. The formatting isn't right or something. Anyone else can't print it? I mean it prints but the quality is BAD!

I'm assuming the updated scorecard is also available at the pay booth??

Yea, thanks John but that's not working (for me anyway). All I get is "404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know."

I have no idea if they are at the booth already but since the course is open I would assume so. Also, if they do, they have the scorecards that reflect the short tee pads for the new nine holes. The one I posted was altered to reflect the new nine holes only having 1 tee pad.

I just messaged you (I hope) on facebook. Why?I tried it on another computer in the office and my phone with the same results. Anyway I can get it emailed? I'm flying in tomorrow and would really like to get my hands on a copy before I play tomorrow afternoon. Cheers.

Never mind John. I went to your facebook post and found it, downloaded it, sent it to my e-mail, and printed. Perfect! No Egyptian translation needed this time!! Can't wait to get up North but the weather is going to be hotter than FLORIDA?! What's up with that?

Just played the new holes today. They are awesome. I played from the long pads that are already there. But I'm confused as to why the short pass won't be done by next week. I appreciate all that has been done but the fact that the holes weren't even playable until 2 weeks before the event and that there are supposed to be shorts on the new holes but won't get done before the event. All this time and it feels like it was rushed. Looks like this will be the only year that this event will be on the DGPT.

The score cards at the booth are updated showing both courses with their pars and distances now.

Jarret, did you happen to grab one? I would be surprised if they printed scorecards resembling the tournament layout meaning no short tees on the newsest 9 holes.

I grabbed a couple yesterday. The cards show both long and short tee pads on all the holes.

Thank you Brad. As I suspected, if anyone wants to play the tournament layout, please use the scorecards from the Google link above not the ones from Kensington.
