I remember wandering to the right of the 15th and noticing that the OB seemed arbitrary as there was only brush over there and perhaps a property line more than far enough back to not be an issue. Is only the underbrush being removed? It seems as if it can be opened up quite a bit. And if I recall the master plan drawing the bunkers are staying. Still a beast of a hole at 190-whatever.
John,
The property line between the course and the quarry actually runs right down the old hedge line. As part of the restoration, the club acquired the 0.1 acre to the right of the hedges to what appeared to be the property line at the rim of the quarry. That whole area will be cleared of the unmanaged growth.
The little bunkers that currently sit greenside right go away. The three bunkers that are greenside right , which will become greenside front left, her combined into one massive bunker. In describing it, 12 feet deep, vertical sod wall, Keith Foster chuckled and described it as "a place you really don't want to be"
We are really looking forward to the transformation of this hole. It goes from a hard, bad hole to a classic! Redan green pinable from 150 to 200 yards, firm right approach to allow a bail out - good stuff!
