Paul Albanese used to chip in here on GCA.com from time to time. I hope he'd make an appearance to discuss this project.
Interesting to see the contrast of the first concept drawing from '26 and the aerial from '47. IN that 20 years, no real encroachment or hemming in of the course by trees appear. But those on the more recent aerial photos and from what you see on the youtube clearly show trees that have taken over the flatish appearing course. The aerial of 47 doesn't show any active water way, yet the concept drawing indicates at least surface drainage ways across the course, which was more in line with the techniques of moving water on surface in those days. But, most interesting is how Paul depicts with photoshopping in some bunkers that are no longer evident on #6, whil having to deal with the trees in the photoshopped projected picture of how it will look with the bunkers.
My question is whether they will go for the "full Monty" and get rid of the trees and like on #6, let the bunker placement in the LZ dictate the strategy rather than also have the trees be a major (unintended) factor on the slight dogleg?
BTW, it is Roseland Golf and 'Curling Club'. Those funloving Canucks know how to chase away the winter blahs...
