Good afternoon PGLS Folks,
Dave notified me of this post and advised me to take a look. Thanks Dave!
I downloaded and closely reviewed (numerous times) and documented the sht files, thank you Charlie.
I entered practice mode in similar conditions (Breezy, the rest didn't make any difference, wasn't attempting to hit the Green or putt, only duplicate the shots) and Mulligans on.
On my 8th attempt on Hole 2, I hit the collider. Tee Shot.
On my 6th attempt on Hole 11, I hit the collider. Tee Shot.
On my 7th attempt on Hole 13, I hit the collider. Fairway Shot (181 yards out)
The above being said, GWS and I have hit several hundred (300?) balls there while early on testing and I have hit a similar amount (200 - 250?) during Beta testing the course. Never had a collider. Not one.
However: Sht files don't lie. Period. Ratz.
SO everyone . . . I have contacted GWS and he is removing all the tall Palms that line the course. They are OLD Unity Palms. He is replacing them with much newer Coconut Palms that don't exhibit that habit. He is moving the tall ones to the outer edge of the course, well out of play.
So PGLS Folks, expect an update to this course soon.
We are both rather sorry this has come up (I'm more than just a little embarrassed), I doubt GWS will be using THOSE Palms next to the course anytime soon . . .
Best regards,
Kevin G.
