I will have these holes temporaily marked a week prior to the event. They will be very clearly maked on the Friday afternoon before the event.

1A-> Tee is on the asphalt road. Hole plays down the gravel road into a hole in the woods. This hole is wide open until the green. The pin will be heavily guarded. Plays around 250ft.

1B-> Tee is on the north side of the road in the grass. Rubber Tee Pad. 550 feet but plays longer since it's slightly uphill. This is a good par 4 with risk/reward. On & Over the road to the left is OB. You can play your tee shot safe under the tree or thru the gap avoiding the road. This will make your 2nd shot much tougher. A lefty has an advantage off this tee. As a righty if you throw a big anhyzer for distance the road and tree line come into play. If you get a booming drive off you are going to be in good position (100 to 150ft) for an upshot.


1C-> This hole is 280 to 300ft. Rubber Tee.  It plays slightly downhill with a solid fairway. If you don't throw it staright you'll find some trouble. A right handed player will have to throw something that will hold its line and not hyzer out to get a solid birdie attempt.


1D-> I'd guess this hole is 250 to 270ft. There is a nice anhyzer route thru the woods to a nice open green.


1E->  I'd guess this hole is 230 to 250ft. This is a slightly uphill shot thru a pretty tight fairway. The basket is going to be  just off the fairway to the left side. The green is going to be well protected and a tricky one to get a putt. A nice straight shot that gently fades left is perfect. If you come up short or gack a drive there is some HEAVY rough! I cleaned up  a few dead limbs under the pines. This is where the basket will be placed.

1F-> I'd guess this hole is 200 to 220ft. Dead straight ace run down the alley of pines. The road is directly on the other side of the trees to the left. If you miss left you have a good chance at going onto or over the road OB. Pretty heavy rough to the right and left. This is one of those putter holes you are thinking I have to birdie this hole then absolutely blow up when you take a 4 on it due to a bad shot and not able to scramble for par.


6A-> Short hole. 180 to 200ft I plan on something special here. Possibly an island green or elevated basket.

9A--330ish..Big anhyzer shot down to the monument. Tee will be in grass to the right of the grassy burm. Rubber Tee.

9B--450ish Par 4. Drive up the trail to the opening. Upshot to the left into the woods. The basket will be placed near the hole with the big log in it. Hard 3 to get! Gotta have good drive & upshot.

9C--Par 4. Semi open fairway with scattered trees. Long drive with solid upshot to take 3. Rubber Tee.

9D--280ish downhill. Tee on top sled hill. Basket on the bottom of the hill about 30ft in front of the fence.

9E--300ish uphill. Pavillion, sidwalk, and parking lot OB. Heavy rough/woods on the right. Tight green area. Rubber Tee.

Guy was out taking pictures of the park on Monday for the New Sun and I brought up that there's a tournament at Adler soon so hopefully the paper comes out soon

[Tom McManus]

Having a chance to play these alternate holes is reason enough to play this event. It is the one time during the year when Adler becomes the 21 hole course that it should be.

[tree]

I'm excited to play alternate tees at Adler....it's been a while

[airspuds]

is the course closed to the public ?

As long as my stock doesn't run out at IOS #3 (I ordered enough that I shouldn't), I will have birdie bags available at this event, woohoo!

[CEValkyrie]

I will be taking registrations the next 2 Tuesdays at Adler League.

sorry I can't be at this.
after sons Sophomore baseball season, the VARSITY Coach asked him to play legion ball, to help ready him for Junior year. So after playing 21 high school games, we have to cram in 43 more games between tomorrow and July 17th  . Almost every weekend he plays Sat and Sun doubleheaders.  64 baseball games for a 16 yr old, is way to many. That's over a 3rd of a major league season. crazy!!

I got one of the worst ways to miss this....ACT
