I played in this event last year and it was a great tournament. The temporary layout for the open divisions is very difficult with shots that will challenge the most experienced players. The am's are looked after too, with almost every hole having an am pad.

The tournament was well organized and ran smoothly. The free Starbucks coffee was a nice touch too.

Get your passports and I'll see you there.

I have now played 12 courses in and around Vancouver and although the courses are fairly short, the temp courses are a lot of fun. The locals are great too. If I could, I would go with you Dan.

I am considering this tourney too, eh.
