Here is a link to iseekgolf and their article about TOC being strecthed out. primarily on 3, 9, 10 and 13. Relax, its only a scoche more than 100 yards, and they claim it will speed up play . And I don't think they are planting trees.

This is for the medal tees, the Open tees and Guest tees apparently aren't being adjusted.  I suppose making 9 and 10 a little longer will help reduce the number of people who have to wait for a group on the green.  At 340 yards I guess they won't have to worry about someone flying it onto the green, but if I was playing in a medal at TOC, I think I'd probably wait even if I was only worried about rolling it onto the green, as that would be a bit rude during a competition!  I wonder why they don't just move the medal tees on those holes back to where the Open tees are -- I believe the 10th is at 380 yards for the Open tees, that ought to take it out of the reach of most, at least until Titleist upgrades the ProV again

As these tees are for Medal play, on this site only Bob Huntley need be concerned.

Are they taking 2 driveable par 4s and changing them to short, but unreachable par 4s?

I've never played TOC (except in video games) but it would seem to me that this would drastically change the character of the course.

If you have ever waited on the tenth tee with THREE foursomes, because every foursome has someone who THINKS the can drive the green.  Doug is correct 9 and 10 need to be lengthened to speed up play.  My olny round at TOC was patrolled by rangers on holes 7 through 10 moving players through the bottle necks.  4 hours and 45 minutes soured me on TOC. It was the only round of 19 in Scotland that took more the 3 and a half hours.
