We've got 18 committed baskets. I'm still trying to make sure they're all metal baskets and not the portable cloth kind. The event is shaping up really nicely.

I need directions to the place.

Just got back from walking the course and the lawns are nicely mowed and everything is looking great. I mapped out three looooong holes because we may just have enough baskets for 21 holes. I'll post up links to some Google Maps for the course this evening.

Here's your official guide to the Day-of-Course II course.

Click on the hole names to see a map of the hole. Distances are all based on GPS positioning of the tees and basket locations that I took today. There's even a mobile version that should work on any webkit compliant phone here.

Holes 19, 20 & 21 are potential long holes that we'll only play if we have a surplus of baskets in the afternoon round.

Look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

Is there a map of the whole thing?

Turns out there is a limit to what the Google Maps API can do. I've attached a link to a Google Map of the entire course for you Eric.

Nah, I'm building the maps directly from GPS data I've collected. It's a pretty streamlined process now. All I need is the GPS coords for all the tees and baskets and boom, the map is done.

You can open the linked Google Map in Google Earth if you'd like though.
