Okay, here is the last Non-GCA member entry from Greg Davis. (Greg if you see this and would like to add some text, let me know). Greg was not able to get sketchup to work and submitted via PDF, I decided to let it slide ;).

Drawing of the routing:






Partial workup of drawing in Sketchup:





I don't want to give Greg short shrift on this, but it may be easier for me to make a few comments on the main thread.

Looks to me like 5 is a great hole. ;D

It's pretty much the same as my 5th hole. ;)

From a safety standpoint, the routing of holes 12 & 13 seems problematic. Given golfers overwhelming tendency to slice the ball, take short-cuts, and the prevailing wind at this site, players walking down the 13th would be peppered with golf balls. Further, the pond short of the 13th hole forces players to walk towards the 12th tee, bringing them even closer to the line of play.
