1. The reason I proposed the twinned fairway is the proximity of the end of the fairway, even from the tips. You run into the trees at about 280 off the tee and get into trouble beginning at 260 (and that's from the tips.) On a typical summer day, that ain't nothing.
2.I believe that the adjacent tee on #2 can be moved westward and eliminate any contradiction with the tee ball on #18. The equipment available today makes it a non-issue.
3. I should have named the post "would you expand/twin this fairway?"
4. Archie, elaborate a bit on your strong feelings. Your trilingualism aside, you leave us in the lurch.
5. Jim, that's almost a great idea! It would eliminate the need to re-do the #2 tee, but it would require the removal of the trees right of #16 and might bring the wayward slice into play from that anti-penultimate tee shot.
6. The way I see it (elaboration), the #2 tee can move westward, toward #1 fairway because no one hooks the ball into that clump of trees left of #1 fairway. The stupid pond between the tee and the creek is typical RTJ Senior overkill. Why have two consecutive hazards on a par three? I think that if you bring the tee closer to the green on #2, it becomes a less penal hole.
X. If you had the cash, you'd bump #1 green closer to the lake on that hole, bending it back rightward at the end. Then the #2 tee would be even less of an issue than the non-issue it is.
