Time will tell, but this move seems strange. The pros were shredding it already. It's a course that can be overpowered length wise at present and without a complete re-do, she doesn't have much extra length in her. It's in a valley setting, so getting it dry and firm isn't easy, but it's possible with talent and mother nature's cooperation. The greens are its main defense, why tamper? To re- contour them for a few more pinnable options the one week you might run them at higher green speeds than normal seems like a waste of money. Guess they are shooting for a 56 to be posted next year.
I feel for Lester on this one. His work was lauded by everyone and he seemed very pleased with the contributions he had made. The facts will be presented in due course, but this whole lawsuit business, on multiple fronts, doesn't help a resort or ownership's reputation when trying to restore their pedigree as a top golf destination.
