With the transition between the tiers being so steep, how much of that green is pinnable?  

[Marty Bonnar]

Brian,
You'd best ask The Good Doctor - for it is one of his!!!

Come on Martin, spill the beans. It’s obviously a nifty bit of photoshop trickery, what’s the green?

[Tiger_Bernhardt]

I wold love to see the rest of the right side of the green. It does not appear to have but one pin placement now.

The 3rd at Pitreavie?

[Marty Bonnar]

...and the Winner is!
Well done, Mr G. The third at Dr MacK's Pitreavie, albeit mirrored LtoR to fit better into this pic.

This green is indeed tiny - and I'd guess only around half of it is pinnable - but what a fun target it is for a Par 3.

The garden is an authentic Chinese one - Guangzhou Municipal Park. Very much to the taste of the FBD. Now where's my Gravel Rake?

I thought there was something funny about those bunkers.......

Thanks, FBD

If you include the lower tier, there is a fair amount of pinning area (although I've never seen the pin down there, and it would be a much different (and easier) hole with it there).

Also, it should be told that the angle of your picture cuts off about 75% of the green!  How about a real picture with all of it?  I'm sure at least the Emperor would be pleased.

It is a great hole, and at 210 of so, often into the wind, with a stream in front and trees right and rear, not an easy one.

More pictures, please!

I am impressed!

Sorry I just got to this one. Didn't even recognize that as Pitreavie #3! (the bunkers look good. Much better when I was last there)

[Adam_F_Collins]

Nice job with the Photoshop. Great match of the light!

5th Green - short, uphill par 4


6th green - another glorious par 3


7th green bunkering - lost some character over the years I suspect...

Enjoy!

Great stuff, Martin!

But.......the Emperor will be angry if you don't show a picture of the 13th...........

[Marty Bonnar]

...voila!









oh, how I'd like to get my hands (and a wee back-actor!) on that ditch!!!
