the new event will be called under the radar, and will be conducted on courses that most players have probably never played, and may have never heard of. of the first 25 courses i tagged as possibles for this event, i was surprised, but also gratified, that warren had already put up 17 of them in the tour course list. however, interestingly, seven of the first twelve i have scheduled are not currently on the tour list.
these specialized venue tournaments will only be 36 hole events with a reQ, so they won't take much time away from regular tour events. besides identical weekly n/m/n conditions in first rounds and b/m/f in the second rounds, they will have the same individually selected custom hole locations that i lavished on the old invitational events: as tough as i can make them. i'm going to put up this event at pro and champ, and will play in both.
this event will be for those players who are interested in playing fairly rare venues. most of these venues are relatively small downloads for those players who do not already have them. while some will actually be real world, all will be within real world architectural parameters.
the first week, i'm putting up a course by a great designer that may well be familiar to the connoiseurs, but probably not to the rank and file. the following weeks will be much more recondite. lw
