Michigan New Course Updates

[The Shide]

Glad you brought it up. I was loving watching this last night.
Kept screaming at the TV, "throw it softer!"
Poor AB. Maybe if he took off the dark shades he could have seen the targets better.

MI DG is getting some YouTube time this week. That benefit round at Toboggan for PM Foundation was on Jomez tonight.
Glad I didn't sign up. They had quite the crowd. But it looked like fun.

The link for lazy Michiganders. Always cool to see Toboggan in play.

That drive GG had on #3 was the farthest I have ever seen on that hole. Love his bomber flight paths, so different from Simon's and Eagle's.

Any updates on Leviathan?

Per the MDGO facebook page, it is in and open. I don't know about tee pads or signage.

Any idea if the new layout is the same layout they used for states last year (2021)?

I have not been out there. The first post on this page is from Sept and references States. The link in the post below is from Oct and discusses the course. I can only deduce that they would not have had time to redesign the course in that time frame. That is not to say there was no tweaking being done. I have no idea whose page this is, but read the first post.

Leviathan is open and has tee pads in for all shorts and longs, but they are still a work in progress. They were moved and haven't been properly back-filled in around them so they stick up. Many are too short and will be lengthened this spring/summer. Signage is OK with hole #s but please use Udisc to lead to the next hole. Many orange arrows and around, look for them.

The grade school is paying for new baskets, and new signs will be made along with hopefully improved tee pads. Plus more labor will be put in to improve all the holes. 11 is entirely new since States and is a cool hole.

Leviathan longs will be complete and rocking by states. It will be brutal. I played it a few times already and went to the opening best shot double event - it was very hard. Some holes will be made more challenging. Especially 14 that has a great very elevated tee shot will be made into a hard par 4 by lengthening the hole and putting the basket into the forest behind the basket now.

So States for MA1 will have a very challenging set of courses.

Beauty was destroyed by wind storms - it has been logged and now the final clean up is being bid out so that will cleaned up before spring and then some holes may need to be changed. A few holes had 2-3 trees that made the hole - they were entirely blown over with the roots torn out of the ground. We're talking 100+ ft tall trees. At least 1 and maybe 2-3 tee pads were destroyed and will need to be replace, so those holes may change.

2021 did not have Beauty and also did not have Leviathan longs, both will be ready and brand new with signs, baskets, and hopefully improved tee pads.
