I still don’t believe it and the fact that it’s now April 1 makes me even more suspect. The course looks like it had Tom Doak and his team shaping it, not some redditor with 250k.

This is the best compliment I've gotten so far, ha.

It was his first course design. Cut him some slack

I told you I didn't know what I was doing...

What! That is pretty awesome! Congrats!

Sorry for any miscommunication. Everything regarding the permitting was outsourced. By design I was talking about the course itself. Yea, all irrigation and drainage is in there. We were lucky to have pretty great sandy conditions so drainage wasn’t much of an issue. Like I’ve said elsewhere, we addressed it where it was needed but was fortunate with regard to the drainage or the project wouldn’t have happened. As for irrigation we had a big hit on a well and PVC/wire and well but saved big on the things like heads and satellites.

Oakland Hills is a pretty nice golf course.

Two things can be right here. We didn’t buy any used PVC. That and the wire were retail (minus some pipe we found online that somebody was getting rid of) but mostly retail. What we bought second hand were the sprinkler heads and satellites. Oakland hills removed all of their heads before they started the renovation.

Why was that other post removed? Was it a fugazi?

They removed it because somebody said I didn’t do it, but I did so once the mods got the proof they put it back up.

Interesting that they credited you using your Reddit u/

I thought that’d be funny and they were game. Seems one user was really pressing it with a different post saying it was a lie and wanted a way to link the course to the post.

I have a hole in my backyard (5 tees ranging from 30 to 185 yards) and will be adding a second green this summer to mix it up. I also just finished a 9 hole par 3 course last summer that will be open to the public this season. Both were built for much less than most would imagine.

OP, this is so kind.

Congrats, ohhannabanana! I just need a name and email and can get you the tickets. I sent you a message but not sure if you’ve checked your messages.

I have season tickets in the Players Club. Section 122. Center Ice. If you're okay with Monday's preseason game against the Penguins you can have them. Parking passes included. I was never able to treat my dad, but it would be nice if you were able to treat yours. Message me and I'll make it happen.

OP couldn't make the game tomorrow night so I'm opening it up to everybody:
