Thank you.

I really like Wade Hampton, and I have liked Fazio's designs for years. The pin positions you have chosen are on greens done according to green books, I know, but the positions you have chosen are too severe (even the easy ones) for me to use in a Links tournament. I have 2 screen prints for you to look at.

If you could place 2 pins in each of those areas inside the red markings, I could use hole 1 of your course in a tournament. If I can find no more than 2 areas on each green, would you be willing to move 2 pins to each spot? I also have another idea - I'm sending you a PM. Thanks!

I have uploaded the FINAL version of Wade Hampton for Andy to add to the course list.

This version incorporates the problems discovered by the members, and a few I found while working on it. It also finally removes the floating trees on the 6th, and importantly, I have managed to make the tree line in accordance with the photographs I have been working with.

I would like to thank Pete (pmgolf), for reviewing and modifying the pin locations when necessary.

I hope you enjoy playing the course.

I see you filled the form in Ian but I've had no email from WeTransfer.

Did you follow these instructions?

Just choose the file(s) you wish to upload, enter upload@linkscorner.org as the friends email address, enter your own email address and in the message box put the course name. Now click 'Transfer'.

Andy,
My apologies. I always get confused with the transfer. Senility finally settling in.
Thanks

I love the real estate!

Wade Hampton is one of the best courses anywhere and since it is located in the Carolina's, it also reminds me of Augusta National too. I always love to play this course on Links and Ian did a great job of making some updates!

[Ian Wells]

Guys, sorry for delay in replying.

Pete, I have no reason to doubt you but I am travelling today but I will check it tomorrow. Silly mistake. Thanks for letting me know.``
Jimbo, it was that real estate that made me want to do it.
1PuttJeff, as mentioned above I love the course visually. Thanks for your kind words.

Ian, I have a tournament being played at Wade Hampton right now. Please don't change the released version until after the tournament ends on November 5th.
