I love Birds Ruins but I have not seen the 27 hole layout. They were still putting the last 9 in during Mad City Open.

I gotta say, Bird's Ruin is absolutely one of the most beautifully fearsome courses I've played, especially with the wind. Well done, indeed. It has a good mix of wooded holes, but the real attraction is that more than half the course laid in waist-deep, heavily penal, historic mesic prairie filled with the most gorgeous wildflowers I've ever seen in one place (look close to see the fairway bunnies).
The new holes don't add a lot. Mostly just more places to lose your disc in the deep rough. the first wooded hole is ok, though.
I agreeYeah...I've played the new holes 4 times now. I'm not sure how to feel about them.
They all look really, really nice (like everything at Birds), but the golf is kinda meh. Too many of the new holes are deuce or die. Actually, all of them at the current pin positions.
Live scoring is available for any card in the tournament (and any PDGA tournament, for that matter), but someone has to be willing to do the scoring via cell phone. Am Worlds participants were offered live scoring for any card that wanted it, but unless the there was a caddy or spectator walking with the card, most participants didn't want to bother with it, and rightly so.
That is gorgeous from a natural standpoint, but looks like a disc-eating nightmare from a player's standpoint. Keep it in the fairway, right??
http://www.pdga.com/help/tournament-management#livescoringIs there someone who went to the little lesson on pdgalive's scoring that can tell us/show us how to do it? I mean a wouldn't having written or video instruction be a good thing?

Did they do anything interesting with Capital Springs to make it more difficult for this tourney?
Is there going to be any video coverage of the semis or finals? I want to see MA1 of course but I'd be really interested in Junior II & III.
Lesli Todd has gone "Facebook Live" a few times with some of the Jr. cards. Madison Walker and Paige Pierce have been following around Jr. cards, but I don't think I've seen any video from them. Maybe some pictures on Facebook.
I know Terry Miller/DG Guy has been in the area, but it didn't sound like he had much time for footage as of yesterday. Maybe some late round coverage though?

It's a cool feature, but really too much work if there's not a caddy/spotter...I did it 1st round but couldn't bother with it after thatThe only live scoring is being done by various players or caddy's for just the card they are on, no live scoring for any other cards unless someone from each card is entering scores as they go.
