Interesting--I heard months ago that CommonGround was going to be used as the 2nd course.  I wonder why the announcement was delayed.  Or maybe it wasn't a done deal when I heard about it.

They've been considering this for a while, since Mike Davis played Common Ground last summer and loved it.  Logistically, the proximity of Common Ground to Cherry Hills is much better for the qualifying.  And it's a big deal for the CGA to host a portion of the U.S. Amateur.

Washington did the same with The Home Course last year alongside Chambers Bay.

Look fwd to playing common ground.  Colorado gc is a lot of fun.  But Parker is a good 40 minutes south of Denver proper.
Hope the club gets it together.  It's a treat.
