Looking for some local knowledge for an international MA1 competitor...
Of the 6 courses played in Advanced, which need to be practiced, and which could be played blind? There's no way I'll be able to practice all 6 thoroughly. Thank you very much!

I've played all the courses, with the exception of Timber Ridge. My opinion would be to practice Spinski's and Timber Ridge. If you have the time, try to get in Meyer Broadway. Of all the courses, I would say Meyer Broadway offers the most physically challenging/demanding round out of a ... more

Good advice Randy. For Meyer Broadway, which course is more difficult, better to practice if you have to decide on one (North or South)?

South is more twists & turns than North and much more up & down, too.

Got it. Thanks Randy!

See this: http://www.pdga.com/2015amworlds/courses. The maps shown are quite good. My time-saving practice is to "pan" the open holes holes and focus on the ones where more OB and other risks are marked.

I agree about playing Spinski Champion. There are some birdie holes and some o.b. and a mando you want to see. If you already know how to throw down a mountain, you can skip Timber Ridge. If you don't know how to throw down a mountain, you need the skill. Vicksburg has some holes you'll want to see. Oshtemo is pretty straight forward. I guess I pretty much agree with what is already on here.
