Here is some low hanging fruit.
American Golfer April 1921
Ravisloe Much Improved
The Ravisloe officials have opened
their new 165-yard fifteenth hole
for play and this, together with the
changes in the sixteenth, has strengthened
the last nine holes greatly. The
new fifteenth hole calls for a half midiron
shot from a tee on a slight elevation
across a little valley, through
which runs a brook, to a sloping green
on the further hillside. Between the
brook and the front edge of the green
there are two hazards which must be
carried and these hazards are located
exactly right. If they were nearer
the green the hole would call for too
exacting a shot, but as it is there is a
little room for the ball to strike the
ground short of the green and run
up to the flag. There are bunkers
at the back and sides of the green and
the new hole is excellent in every
particular.
The opening of this hole for play
has enabled the officials to use the
new sixteenth tee. This lengthens the
hole some fifty yards and provides a
carry of two hundred yards over the
big hazard on your tee shot. The
drive here is now a real test of wooden
club play and, while a little severe
for the average golfer, there is room
to play around the left end of the
hazard for those who do not care to
go for the carry. Several new bunkers
have been constructed around the
green and the hole is greatly improved.
Other changes have been
made in the course and Ravisloe today
is one of the finest tests of golf
to be found in the west.
