Sandwich vs. Deal
Scott Warren:
Why?
hhuffines:
Are they adding any more fairway on the right side of #1? Not sure I like the change to 16...
Mark Chaplin:
Hart - IMHO 16 has too much slope to be a fair long par 4 green, attacking a par 5 you accept a little sport but not on a 4 when a long iron/wood could hit a hard downslope and go straight over the green. RCP's strongest shot is the third to 16. The opposite on 1, I think the fairway is being taken a few yards left.
Scott - I guess 3 years of LFQ. It doesn't really affect the members and tees are cheap to build and maintain.
Brent Hutto:
So next time I'm there, do I have to tee off from 30 yards farther back on #1. If so I'll just write down double bogey and save myself a ball or two. If the rough don't get me, the burn on the second shot (or third or fourth) will.
Wouldn't you know, after I finally have a couple of halfway decent rounds they'll go and toughen up the course!
Mark Chaplin:
Brent I was playing with a member the other day who said the course was being made too tough. I asked how many times he'd played off the 2nd or 18th back tees........none. It really doesn't affect the average member.
