I've heard that people who tour together will be more lenient in regards to calling rules violations on their traveling partners. Not saying that is going on here, just saying.

Kinda like when a group of girls lives with each other long enough and their cycles line up.
I hear people who tour together form a lifelong bond that can probably be translated into a made for TV movie where one of them gets cancer and the other two have to raise money for him by winning tourneys. Then the almost-dead-from-cancer one comes out to the big tourney and wins because he is all better now and everyone is cheering for him and he gets the girl.

Nope not for them and all water was apparently casual. They also changed one box making a tough 4 into a 2 and played the short box on 18 which makes it again a reachable par 3 over a tough 4. You don't take 2s on those holes. They did. They tweaked the course to bump ratings in my mind. If other towns see this behavior I suggest you don't let it slide and contact PDGA about the ratings. They played the hardest course in austin on easy mode
well, then the ratings would reflect that. unless of course they were the only ones who played that layout, and everyone else played the hard one. do you understand ratings?
