Nope, we are playing 18. We actually have raised the limit to 90 now and I need to update the site to reflect that. We are going to have two pools too with Open and MA1 playing the blue tees in the morning while the rest of us play the whites.

Glad to see that rec will not be playing the blues. Those holes are far enough from the whites as it is for rec players.

I have never been able to find the unmarked blue tees. Has anybody from Birdshot actually played the blue tees? If so can we have the rules up for the holes before the day of the tournament?

Birdshot came out last Sunday to test the blue holes and check-in on some other things with the course. There is a map on DGCR that shows the blues (link). Only 5 holes have a different tee than the whites. There is a chance to get permament pavers for the blues before the tournament, but if not, I will be flagging the blue holes on Friday (any earlier and I run the risk of the Bridgeland maintenence crew picking them up).

OB on Oak Meadow should be pretty straight-forward. Concrete and beyond is OB. There is no water (and I don't expect any) except for the lakes. In my mind, there are only two questionalble areas for Birdshot to clarify 1) the gravel path on hole #2 and 2) the concrete in the drainage ditch on hole #6.

I have been having a few people contact me wanting to practice and get a feel of the course before the tournament. Below are the times I will be playing this week and you are welcome to join me as my guest.

Saturday - 9:00 am (sorry for the short notice)

Monday - 9:00 am (for those of you coming a long way, you can make a day of the Cypress courses and play in the TAT mini on Monday afternoon)

Friday - time to be determined. Will probably be around 5:00 pm. Might set up a doubles mini.

If you would like to join, please send me an email (ramseywomack at gmail dot com) so that I can let the gate guard know that you are my guest.

Anyone with a popup tent they are willing to bring Saturday would be super appreciated. There are a couple of holes that are really exposed and we'd love to have some shade at the tee box.

I'm playing tomorrow (Thursday) at 3:30 and anyone who wants to join me feel free. I know nothing about the tournament other than what is posted here though.
