The trees that were on #7 should never have been planted but they usually just affected mishits. The bunkers affect the aerial shot to that hole in a marginal way; they just eliminate the intended runup shot . I wonder how the author heard of the "controversy" on #7 ?
I never imagined they would do the significant bunker work. That was a pleasant surprise and has brought Flynn back to life on several holes, notably #5 and #10. The fairway expansions are great throwbacks on #2, #5, and fine interpretations on #7 and #15.
