I think Tom Paul is onto something here...
It has been mentioned that due to topdressing, thermal dynamic shifts of the earth, astrological signs, the Kennedy/Lincoln assasination similarities, and the sightings of Elvis, that somehow the greens at #2 are now seriously more "plateaued" than Donald Ross designed them; in fact, they are seriously more elevated than any other course on the planet Earth that was built before 1940!!!
My sense of logic creates cynicism. I'm reacting the same way I did when I heard the contention that the new bunkers at Merion will somehow evolve into the old White Faces again, just given the element of time....simply put, it's doesn't make sense.
If the latter were true, every course on the planet built before 1940 would have beautifully evolved, original looking, finely weathered Merion style bunkers.
If the former were true, topdressing practices would have assured that every course built before 1940 would have domed greens.
It doesn't make sense, and I would like to hear someone explain their contention that Ross's original greens were several feet lower.
