Pine Valley vs Augusta...

Which would be improved most with the removal of all trees on site given modern erosion control could be put in place without intruding on the playscape.  Which would be a better course in the buff?  How would the improvement of each relate to the recent changes at Oakmont?

I have not even been to Augusta but Pine Valley could use a chain saw.  Except for a few holes (5 & 15 especially) trees really don't come into play.  They do block the wind a little and pictures of the course at the time it was opened show a different course than the one we play today.  It looked wide open.

I have gotten the impression from TEPaul that the massive tree planting program at Pine Valley was either a WPA project or somehow related to national security.
