busy til noon, will it be flagged ? and if ya'll are playin the willy 1st, i can prolly catch yall for round two.

played both courses today, the powell is ,.. well,... the powell backwards.
but, ....the willy is frikkin' kewl. i encourage anyone to get out there and check it out. seems like the trees are a bigger factor, more defined lines and just plain sik holes. I LIKE IT!!!

I agree. With the loss of critical trees on basic Willie, the course has lost some of its appeal. Bassack Willie takes better advantage of the existing trees and other obstacles.

We discussed putting in permanent tee markers for the bassack course!

Yeah, I guess there was not much anything diffrerent we could do with backwards Powell...but The Wilmont was a total blast for Chris & I to arrange! For those of you who venture out there during the next week to check it out, hopefully the flags will still be there. On The Powell, yellow flags mark the boxes for the odd numbered holes & orange for the evens...the first tee shoots to basket 18 & is located a little futher up & to the right of 18's normal tee. The paint was still there yesterday too...your first shot reads 1-18 (which means first hole to 18's basket)...second one 2-17, etc.....yellow, orange, yellow orange, etc....hopefully you can find all the tees. The Wilmont has yellow flags for odds & blue flags for evens....first shot starts kinda near the corner of the parking lot to basket 18 & take it from there. The few of us that have played it now really think that the course plays better this way...come out on January 2nd & see what you think!

great job guys!!

The rain we had last week soaked up really well at both courses...hardly wet at all. Let's hope that the rain we have in the next couple of days soaks up too! Right now the weatherman sez bright & sunny this Sunday...might be a little chilly, though. We'll start on the Tnomliw course in the morning, so meet up at that parking lot....registration opens at 7:30 & we'd like to get started by 9:00, so try to be there by 8:30 if you can! This thing is going to be a blast, people...try to make it out if you can & help to support those two World Class PDGA events we have coming up this year right in our own backyard!

Wish I could make it for this one. Played my first round of single digit temp snow golf the other day here in Iowa. These guys are hardcore, somebody shoveled and salted the teepads.

I've updated the Llewop map to reflect the new position of the #1 tee.

Something tells me that my sexy boots might be in order Sunday!
