Too many casuals. By chance you could close the course for the tourney, then it might work.

I would love it. They need to close down the 5,000 ways into the park, and charge for parking. I would drive to play it again.

Signs will be posted at all entrances that the course is closed along with the other local courses in the area that casual players can go play at.

Also it would have to be 100% pre-registration as no cash can exchange hands at the park. Currently looking for a restaurant to hold awards at.

Wagon wheel. Dive bar really close. Also a couple options on haggerty. Brans steakhouse would be epic. Please count me in

Check out the Deadwood Bar & Grill. Real close to the course, nice big place. Nice patio area too.

Probably impossible to close the course- they've tried before and couldn't even for MDGO state doubles.

Ben, I already talked to the park, they are cool with it as long as we give the casuals information on other opportunities / areas to play. If casuals do jump in to play then NO ONE will let them play through.

Keep me informed- I might be able to make fliers showing how to get to Lakeshore (obviously), to hand out.

The last pdga tourney I played there they actually added holes in the soft ball field and other areas, It would be nice to see if you could create a couple more holes to add to the regular 18. Also, there are alot of courses in the area to offer to the casuals, I will also help out as I can to post signs and tell them all that they should find else where to play.

Last event I was there, we had a 4 some on every hole, with no one letting anyone play through the casuals got the hint.
