HOLY HELL!

Obviously they meant TEES that range from 5,000 to 7,000 yards… but ha! That was a funny bullet point to read.

Geez the distance from today's balls is getting seriously out of hand. The maintenance expenses for this course must be astronomical 😉

Eh. Most of the expense is in the greens, tees, and bunkers. And as you can see, their bunkers are carefully placed.

Yea but mowing a 90k yard course has got to be expensive.

I hope they offer some "stay and play" packages. Would probably take at least a week to play the whole thing!

This is what happens when you farm out work to people who are ignorant of the subject.

Sounds like a damn good job for local prisons to start. Bus the inmates around..having 20-30 guys at a time to do maintenance. Maybe even a future job for those who get out in a reasonable time. Better job than cleaning highways I would think. Much cheaper labor.

You'd have to pitch a tent after a couple holes, sleep for the night and play a couple more the next day. Maybe you could get three short "holes" played in one day. They'd have cabins and camp sites for rent behind every green. Even with a cart it would take 3 days to play, because you figure the 5000 yard holes are almost 3 miles (280 yards short of it), and the 7000 yard holes are almost 4 miles (40 yards short of it). So it would be like a 60 mile course? 

I realize that this is an obvious typo on the information sheet. But it would be great if their intent was to make it a golf course, campground, and fishing getaway. You'd need to be about your own township to pull this off.

I'm curious how far they play as a par 3. Probably not the best course for walking.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
