Haven't updated in a while
Priority list:
Bellerive- Have the file back from Hyno. It's looking great. Making some cosmetic changes and hope to release in the next week or so.
Southern Hills- I'm going to bump this up over Atlanta. I think it will be a little easier and I am still hoping to have it finished before the Senior PGA.
Atlanta- No updates. See above. |

A couple quick updates:
I've focused most of my time (which has been sparse lately) on Bellerive, which I hope to have finished very soon.
I'm going to pass on Southern Hills, because there is no chance of having it ready by the end of this month. There is an 07 version of SH that can be used.
Atlanta is still on track for mid June. |

Although I have been swamped on the personal and professional front and have not really done any work on courses in the last couple weeks, I did want to share a cool experience. My wife just completed a degree program and we are in Omaha, Nebraska. I reached out to the superintendent of Omaha Country Club, who gave me a two hour tour of the entire course yesterday morning. Walked on all 18 greens and got to see what work they have been doing on the course. It was a phenomenal experience and will make watching the US Senior Open even more exciting this year!
Also, I feel like my course is pretty accurate, although the greens have a lot more little subtle elevations than I put on there. Still, what a fun project to culminate in this experience.
Here are some pictures from yesterday:

I should add, I haven't played your Omaha version yet - catching up on some older ones at present - but it's high on my hit list and I'm sure I'll enjoy. And there'll no doubt be a fluffy comment left afterwards once I'm done. |

I can't believe how busy the last couple months have been. School is over this week so I will have more time to finish some of these projects. |

Bellerive update: Almost finished. Sent to Hyno so he can work on the 07 version. I will finish up the 08 version as soon as I'm done with Atlanta.
Atlanta: Goal is to have it finished and uploaded by Saturday so G4Fun can use it for their tour. Working on hole 6 elevations. Plan is to be done with elevations Wednesday, plantings Friday, and everything else Saturday. |

Somehow still on target. All 18 holes have elevations done. Gave it a practice run and it was very playable with only a few changes needed. Excited to see how it will look with trees. |

We are still on pace!
Planting is done through hole 6. I hope to have all 18 done by noon tomorrow, then go through and test pins and look for issues. Structures, tees, and galleries will follow! |

Bobby,
Bellerive for 08 is your project, my work is done, what ever changes you wanted to do, I am fine with, when ever you think it is done you can release it. |
