Redan Pick 'em

[Kyle Harris]

Pat,

I see what you're saying, the back left corner would have to be built up as well. Understood.

I had interpreted it to mean that it could slope left to right and fall away over the back through the length of the green.

The original Redan front bunker is about 6 feet deep. It used to be much deeper:

The Redan at North Berwick is another fine hole which has been copied almost as often as the Eden at St. Andrews. The original hole can hardly be considered perfect, as it is too blind and there are too many bunkers which have no meaning, but the ideas embodied in the hole are excellent, and these ideas give an architect great opportunities of making interesting holes.

Kyle,

Don't get me wrong; I like the idea of your drawing and the thought of having the hole play infinitely different.  I was thinking yesterday what a neat shot it would be straight on,  trying to hit the approach and have the ball hold the green.

Steve,

I know you weren't being critical for the sake of being critical. More trying to put a peg on just how people define terms like Redan and Reverse-Redan.

Without a "title" for the hole, it should still work well.
