  YankeeJim:

  This describes the higher 9th  tee.....

  "Hole 9 (Olympus) – The teeing ground on this long par 3 is perched nearly 100 feet above the green."

  This should be interesting to see who goes where with the possibilities.  :-)

  I am still curious about this:

  That's the higher tee box. The one being used for the qualifier is lower by 15 feet, or so. The TM tees I would guess.

  Just got in under the wire with my first 55 ever! And I did it the hard way: 16 birdies, two pars, no eagles. Missed eagles from 18 feet on #4 and 6 feet on #12, and was on the green but in the wrong zip code on #8 and #18.

  I made a bad mistake on #15: apparently (going by the scorecard) my tee shot, which settled 10 feet below the hole, was actually off the green. I played a normal putt and came up 8 inches short.

  But all is forgiven now.
