You must have played in the Intermediate Division last year. The format for the all Divisions (except Juniors) this year will be one round on the Hawk Course, one round on the Porcupine Course and one round on the Cape Fear Course.

Juniors will play two rounds on the Hawk Course and one round on the Porcupine Course.

I've been waiting for a 4Mound tourney to get back to that format for a long time... I Love It! I'm gonna have to try to make this one, missed it last year. I am guessing though that ZTO will be the following week so once again I will have to choose one over the other as both are unlikely

ScottW · #9 November 29th, 2012, 10:00 PM

Disregard my above post regarding the ZTO. It will be held I believe on June 22,23 so will not be on the back of the LCO like years past

I also heard a rumor of an A-tier at Farragut in July but I know absolutely nothing about this yet.

So anyway, yeah LCO and 4 Mound

So why is the Lilac City Open only being held at Four Mounds again?

Because three courses can be played at one time with out having to travel. The logistics of running a multi-site event involves more hoops than I want to jump through.

Isn't that what makes it the LCO?

I would have played Int. but didn't because of the format. This sounds awesome!

Because 4 Mound is awesome! I very much understand Bob's logistical points with having it at one site, I'd probably try to do the same too though. I understand Stu's point but here's my opinion - 4 Mound is awesome and does cut down on travel time and confusion to some degree. I don't think Downriver is a multi-round tourney appropriate site and High Bridge certainly has its pros and cons (like any course I guess). Would also be cool to see Sekani included in future LCO's. I will say though that I had no problem with the old Country Cup - the name is a little more fitting. Keep in mind though that these are all just my opinions.

Four Mounds is a great course, but summer play isn't that fun out there. Its too hot, dry, and likely to catch fire. Although they try their hardest to get people not to smoke they never convince everyone. Four mounds in July or August just isn't very feasible. Although our Spokane courses can be fun you really can't beat those course, and they are on private land you can do whatever the hell you want (camping is so fun). LCO is Spokane's best tournement and I'm happy its held at the best courses. I will say, though I understand how hard it must be to get 3 courses and a final ten tournement ready, and understand why we don't play them all. I really love when we do have a chance to. It awsome to see even the big arms also get their asses kicked by Cape Fear Hole.

I do agree with that. It's going to be awesome to watch people get eaten alive by that hole. I cant' wait to see how many lost discs, fives and sixes happen there.

This Fall we've had a good deal of rain and it's my time of the year to take advantage of the moist soft soil....I've been going around thinning trees on the course and opening up spaces generally. We've burnt up several of the slash piles from over the Summer. I've got the landscape rake hooked up to the tractor and am going through the courses smoothing out bumps, picking up loose rock, tipping up rotting stumps and filling in the holes. All in all making a clearer, fairer field of play......The Jumanji records set by Mssrs. Leviska and Feldberg last Memorial Day will be safe for the time being and I guess we'll have to research the records for Porky, Hawk and Fear for this years assault.......I plan to continue upgrading the tees and devising some new hole propositions (there will be no Peckerwood this time around). ......Over the past Summer we also got our water system out on the far west side in running order so there will be running water available and maybe some sprinklers running. LCO will be in late May so the grass will still be green and just beginning to get tall and we all know what that means; mow, mow, mow yer boat. As usual we'll try to make this one better than ever. It's only six months to go!

Cape fear. Teebird aiming at the rocks in the ravine to the right of the pin, thumber/firebird landing above the hole=3 No excuse to take any worse than a 4. The toughest part of that hole is climbing up out of it.. lol It's fun though. The wait is the second hardest.. Going to be a back-up unless you play it early.

Yeah but most of the Big Arms want to land on the green in one. The wind in the gully messes with most of those shots. I always played to the right of the hole and approached the green on the second shot. Going for the green on the drive almost always results in a 4 or more.
