Could be but at least it was an alternative. I did HITS Palm Springs when it was still run by... can't remember his name... ETA Mark Wilson?? The most recent HITS was by most accounts pretty much a disaster (had a few friends do it but they were less harsh than ST was). You couldn't pay me to do HITS again, but that might just be Lake Cahuilla and PS mornings in December :)

And I can't help but come back to that course..... It looks awful to me. But heck 70.3 brand in Tempe sells out, so people will do it
