It would help with updating the data base.As I have mentioned before,Deer Run golf course in Gibsonia,Pa is actually Pittsburgh National.There are a few other errors that I cannot correct without editing the name of the facility.

I have also discovered several misspellings of course names and would like to fix them,however the course name is not subject to edit.

please post any misspellings or name changes you know about and we'll fix them. There are two reasons course name is uneditable, 1) it's just too easy for someone to think they're fixing something and accidental misspelling it (and with thousands having access to edit- it's just a recipe for disaster), and 2) sabatage. It's never happened, but if someone wanted to wreck our database they could- at the very least we have to keep course names to make it easier for us to go back and fix stuff.

Just post them- we'll fix them.

OK then I will let you know of a couple.

Riverbend golf course in Cordova,Alabama is actually two words.It should say River Bend Golf Course.

Huntsville Municiple(sic)is obviously misspelled,but actually the course is called Becky Pierce Municipal.This course is in Huntsville,Al.

Thank you.While I am at it,Harborne Church Farm Golf Course in Birmingham,Al. is actually meant to be in Birmingham,England.You can see this by looking at the link to the site.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but the handicaps for the Grand Geneva/The Brute/white(regular tees) are totally wrong. They are as follows, 1-18, 7/3/9/15/11/1/13/17/5 8/4/12/18/14/2/16/10/6. I'll send a screen shot of the card if necessary.
