Water Works - painted, flagged, mandatory signs are out. Thanks to Peter J Cashen, Greg Utz, John Thompson, Stephen Blowers and others for the improvements on the course, and Kansas City Parks and Rec for the brush cleanup.

The Mach X on 14 will be swapped for the orange basket today sometime.

Bad Rock Creek - the basket for Pools B and C has been moved to the correct location. We have not put a mando sign for MPO on 12, but it is flagged and lined.

Course update - Bad Rock Creek

There are baskets in all tournament locations except 8 Pool B/C. I do not have a key to move it. Working on getting the course coordinator to move it.

The Gannon Buhr mandatory sign isn't there. We will get a mando sign up before Sunday.

Otherwise, the course looks beautiful. Thanks to Jerry Patterson and Liberty Parks for all the hard work on making Bad Rock a world caliber course!

Course updates!

Water Works will be marked on Wednesday. All baskets are in correct pin location except 11 (per course coordinators request). 14 will have the Mach X (not orange basket). Just haven't moved them yet.

BRC will be marked tomorrow afternoon/evening. So much paint, so many flags. BRC is being mowed tomorrow.

Smithville Lake - Clay County Parks
All courses have been marked and flagged except the chalk line on 10 at Black Thorn, but flags are up. Yes, the tall grass has been cut and bailed. It's still hazard, just easier to find discs.

Smithville is beautiful right now, even with a tall grass haircut.

Beaver - holes 4-7 still have the gnarly grass. We will try to have spotters to help. We will be using lateral OB rules for those holes.
