Wow!
Could be mighty interesting. Here's to hoping Faldo keeps some of the quirk that has made St. George's a favorite for so many years. I always felt that Bermuda needed like one more good regulation 18 to make it a world-class golf destination, and this could be it! Interesting developments, I guess the Nicklaus rumors about the old Navy depot never went further than rumors...
Mid Ocean - clearly world class
Port Royal - very good, fun, scenic
Tuckers Point - hmm...good at times, wacky at others (and not a good wacky)
Riddell's - fun but super-short at about 5700 par 70.
Belmont - was being redone when I was there...the new pics make it look like a fun, nice place for a game
St. George's - a wild ride, mostly par 3s, where one sees what seems like all of Bermuda....the cruise ships, the rolling, lush landscape, a secluded cove looking out to sea, a cement rain catchment, the small fishing village, the fort, the huge former hotel....etc... Sad to see it go, but it was only worth one play really...
So the new rota will have two very good and challenging 18s, one where the jury is still out (TP could be in the challenging 18 category with some maturity), and three short quirky fun courses. Not to mention a brand new 18. Sounds great!
