Since ML had plenty of carts, the clubhouse must not know they
added more. Did they charge for a rider?
Great pace at Cale with CPO.
Posts for 150 markers are good and still useful for shots that
don't need distance to the pin, like punch outs and layups.
Thanks for all of your reports.
Both ML & Cal charged for a rider. Also, the 150 yard marker helps out a lot with CPO as to which clubs to bring

Thanks for reading.
Question, what were the gigantic parking lots near the convention center built for?
Where the parking lots are used to be a mall.
If they were made bigger and better in the last year or so, it was for the MB Classic.
Park there and bus ride to The Dunes for the tournament.
Thanks for your reports!

That used to be Myrtle Square Mall .... the land is awaiting a time frame in which their will be a distinct possibility that Gambling will be made legal in SC. At which time the MB Square Mall and MB Pavillion area's will be sold. Trump, Steve Wynn and the Maloof Brothers were all bidding on those peice of land and when they found out that our State Lesiglators weren't down for Gambling in the next 15-20 years, they all with drew their bids. Soooo there they sit ... abandonded.

Did they use the practice hole as a par 3 from the fairway?
