  Watch that a Edgewood T. blitz hole from the sand that says 2 -5% lie sand , but it's been said that it's much more. I don't know if it's been changed. 

   

  Tahoe 'sand' is essentially coarse eroded granite from those pretty Sierra Nevada mountains, so you're hitting out of gravel, lol.

  When you go play RSG and a few others, before you hit your drive, put your arrow on the tee box on the hole map.....I have noticed several hole distances vary 20-30 yds from what the hole distance says at the top of the page and on the scorecard.  I noticed it on #2 BPB...it shows 30 yds shorter than what it says the hole distance is.  I did a quick study on that hole...and the 30 ft equals the elevation read.  It seems like that is the difference...

  The distance is different based on the slight dog leg of that hole not the elevation. The pointer is shows the distance "as the crow flies" while the distance marker from the tee block is based on the second shot coming from the center of the fairway.
