Johnny - on the one hand this is great news - if ever there is a worthy venue for The Walker Cup it is RCD. But if it holding the event necessitates changes, especially to the 16th, well... I'm leaning toward wanting the the R&A to leave it alone! Maybe I'm weird, but I love the 16th as it is and believe it's a great match play hole... unless you tell me they're going to put the green out in the "canyon" to the left somewhere (which would be something) I say leave well enough alone. What's wrong with a driveable par 4 frought with danger?
