The Country Club Renovation
« on: August 19, 2013, 10:17:56 AM »
Are we not talking about this? Was it just not as significant as I'm imagining?

Granted, I was in Airwalks during the '99 Ryder Cup, didn't have a drivers license yet, and was watching on a 30 inch tube tv. I don't remember a ton about the course. But what I do remember sure did seem dark, shadowy, and wooded, with corresponding shade-grown blotchy grass.

I thought the course this weekend looked great during the 17 minutes that NBC actually televised. If we can get a few more Oakmonts and Brooklines onto mainstream tv, it might get a lot easier to convince memberships to chop down trees.

I wished NBC broadcast more than an hour of live coverage yesterday.  Course looked great from what I saw.

There was some discussion of the renovation in Ran's thread about his course tour:
