Tommy,
I can't believe my super-duper, ESP radar that detects major convulsions and shifts in the golf architectural world didn't pick up on this one before you posted it. Like SpiderMan when he lost his "Spidey-sense", something must be amiss within me.
Now that I see it, I believe the 4th seal has been broken. Just a couple of more preposterous things like Rees Jones designing a contoured fairway, Jack Nicklaus designing a blind hole, and Arthur Hills putting a bunker in a position that makes strategic sense and the Final Apocalypse will surely be upon us.
