My thing is I don't always have the time or ... patience to check in on a thread ongoing to see the progress. So I do slideshows for myself where you can get a feel for a course and round. It's just another perspective and not necessarily better or worse. Works for me. The pics are usually just ok. Not of the best quality because I'm not spending any time at all in snapping them. It's almost photo journalist like in nature. Plus I use a small pocket camera that can do a lot, but only so much. I can sometimes take 300-400 pics in a single round. Yes ... my lack of game tends to suffer as a result, but not always. Then I'll edit for the slideshow. The editing can get sketchy... I think I still keep too many in the end.
Anyway, Kyle's got photographic memory. I swear he does. He'll remember a round and course he played ten years ago and can recall this hole and that hole and ... he's played it only once! Wish I could do that...
Here's what I'll say about Sharp...
A LOT of MacKenzie is still there. A LOT... Just not very much in play because it's largely lying dormant and would need to be recovered. And I'm not talking about the two ocean holes others and I have mentioned previously. If you take a close look during the round and observe the old aerials, you'll see what I'm talking about.
I have no hopes of ever seeing what's still there recovered ... let alone maintained long term, because it would take a huge commitment. However, the crew is doing a better job from what I can tell. The course seems in better shape as of late.
Here's a little momento to wet the appetite... and things to keep an eye out for.
Have fun out there.
Bunker left of current par 3 15th (old 11th). Notice old bunker outline is right there... and compare to the close up aerial. There are cases like this all over the course...
