So whenever a course makes significant changes, they're required to have the USGA re-rate the course from each box. These new ratings immediately go into effect, and are listed on the USGA's database. Usually courses don't have new scorecards printed, since those cost money and they have excess inventory of old cards.
Tarpon Woods went with the rare: "print up new cards with the old outdated ratings" method. A bold move.
Anyway, per our policy I've updated the slopes and ratings to whatever the USGA says they are. Everyone is still on the WHITE tees unless they tell me otherwise.
All the rain has also apparently taken its toll on the course, so conditions will be "challenging." Don't be like Sergio complaining about Chambers Bay. It's the same for everyone.
Rule this week: If your ball is on the green, you can move it away from any sanded dead spots. Just ask your playing partners and make the best of it.
The course was in good shape when we played it in January. Faz was just there on 3/30 and didn't report any issues. Growing grass is difficult sometimes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is Jan like Jan or is it one of the weird dudeds named Jan pronounced like Yahn.
ReplyDeleteJan as in Jan. The three-time Major winner who dated Trump and posed like this for a magazine.
