Looking at the layouts, and just played the Woods course first time yesterday (I love it btw!). But it's tight, plenty of times people will be looking for discs. My concern is that AM's play Woods twice, the least advanced players, and there are 104 players currently. That is an average of 5.7 players per card!! To me, that screams a terribly slow round, and we play Woods twice. Just a thought here, would it not make more sense having Am's playing OG where there are far fewer lost disc opportunities, and much more space to support the 120 competitors? Meanwhile Pro divisions have only 27 competitors. That is only 1.5 players per card (if split between 18 holes). Just doing the math, because this is not mathing! LOL!

Practiced Woods temp layout today. On T6 I threw from short pad directly to island green, going over 2 corrals with the hazard space between them. I landed on the island ok today, but curious where to drop if I were to land in the corral closest to the island green. Since both corrals are OB but a hypothetical shot into the 2nd corral would also pass over the hazard between the corrals, would you drop in line behind the first corral the shot passed over, or drop in the hazard behind the corral closest to the island green because the disc passed over the hazard, which is not OB. Technically the last place the disc passed in bounds is in the hazard next to the corral by the green's island, but don't know if you're allowed to take a drop in a hazard or if you did, would it count 2 strokes against you, one for OB and one for the hazard?
