Mace
The ABS will not sponser or have a cutting competition. That only effects Maryland and the Midwest, which is currently held in Ohio. All other hammer-ins are ran by someone else and just endorsed by the ABS. This one just completed was Texarkarkana Colleges, cutting challange. The cutting contests are now sponsered by the individual groups or by Blade magazine. I can participate not as an ABS member but as an individual. Since I enjoy messing with them I will still be playing as will most of the guys. Good to see Lin win, it is always good so shake the tree up a bit on occasions.
Hope that clears it up some.
