The 18 hole courses built over the years by the WDGC & DGCA have DGA Mach New II baskets that had 6 inner chains from the factory with the other 6 not installed when compared to the DGA Mach V that has all 12 inner chains installed. The 6 “missing” inner chains have been added to all these baskets essentially “Mach V’ing” them. Obviously Willamette & Adair were installed and upgraded years ago. The Bryant and Waterloo courses were both installed over two years, 2007 & 2008. Bryant’s 6 missing inner chains were installed in 2008 on all baskets and now the WDGC/DGCA had the funding to get the job done at Waterloo. Although the chains & S-hooks used are not from the DGA they are matched as close as we can get to those from the factory.

Hopefully this will be acceptable to all parties as both clubs continue the strong tradition of quality events both sanctioned & non sanctioned at our courses using the “Mach V’d” DGA Mach New II baskets.

Thanks Chuck for the clarification on the current state of the rules for targets.
