I have another somewhat related course question for Ed or anyone else that wants to chime in. We have a portable course that never gets removed. Stainless mainline with pregates. The lake is fairly small and shallow with a VERY mucky bottom. Once a weight goes in, it never comes out, which is why we don't remove it in the winter. (just sink it, lake is about 5-6' deep at the course). The course has been in for about 15 years now. Our cable mainline has stretched a bit and is now a little loose. I don't think the way it is currently anchored that I can move the existing anchors. So if is was to cut the ropes to the anchors, (not the mainline) and put in new anchors, how much weight do I need to hold it. It doesn't get overly rough where it is.
PS. we are not concerned about the stretch in the line since there will never be a sanctioned tournament here it is just for public use. thanks
