Course Conditions/additional tourney info.
Don't think I've ever seen Patterson looking this good. Very green with all the rain we've had and big thank you to Nate / Claire for keeping up with all the mowing.

We will be playing 53 unique holes this coming weekend (out of 54 possible), have one hole (6) that we will play same tee/pin combo in R2/R3. The R3 layout will be the longest layout (11,111') we've ever used at Patterson for an 18 hole round and will be a pro par of 72.

For those who have never played the course before there are approx 50 baskets on the course and approx 40 teepads. In general the A tees are short or easier tees, B tees are longer/harder, and on a few holes (12, 15, 16, 17) there are C tees (so a 3rd tee).

The pins are color coded by INNOVE Discatcher band color. Red baskets are the short pins, Yellow baskets are the medium (or long where only 2 baskets on a hole), Blue Baskets are long pins (where the hole has 3 pins), and just recently added a green pin for hole #14 (super long), this hole has 4 unique pin positions.

The course maps by round designate which tee you will be utilizing, and to what color basket, so there should not be any confusion as to what hole you are playing.
