Several questions regarding not playing the Rec Course this year. Here are the details:

Each year as the tournament grows, we have to add more things to Tournament Central. Tournament Central is a small area, and with more spectators, more media, larger warmup area, more food vendors, etc, space is at a premium. When we run the AM Side on the Rec Course, that adds 72 players and their spectators to that cramped area. The Pro Side has just become too big to handle that and the AM Side running on the property at the same time. (This is a good thing)

Our choices were to move the AM Side to a different weekend like many other DGPT events do, or to move the AMs off of the Rec Side. Either way, people would not have been happy.

We chose to keep it the same weekend and to run the Flex starts on the Rec Side. By doing this, it will help keep the congestion down. This gives you the option of playing the Rec Side if you want to, without forcing 72 players teeing off at the same time.
