Tournament Update.
Submitted by shookjm on Fri, 08/21/2009 - 12:25am.
The Tournament Details, Schedule and the Trace Gold Tournament rules have been updated. We have also adjusted two holes.
- Hole 6: The pin has been moved back and left onto the ridge between the three pines. It now plays as a par 4.
- Hole 13: The tee box has been moved up and the pin has been moved forward. The hole now plays as an uphill tunnel shot that finishes slightly right. It plays as a par 3.
Players are strongly encouraged to practice the Gold layout. The tournament directors will be working on the course Saturday, August 22. We will be happy to show off the course and answer any questions.
