I just got back from a trip to Pinehurst with the main focus to check out the New #2. I had the opportunity to play #2 last year and with the course still fresh in my mind, I wanted to check out the work by Coore and Crenshaw on the New #2.
I tried to take photos from the exact same spots I did last year in order to come up with a nice apples to apples comparision of the course. However when I didn't have a good applicable photo to use for the "Old", I borrowed from
The Sandhills Insider (which is in my opinion the best site for information on the Pinehurst area). I also have some older photos that I got from the Tufts Archives of some holes, which really make for unique comparing and contrasting. I'll post those as appropriate.
For starters, here is the tee shot on hole #1 then and now.
