I took a picture yesterday of the green and approach stripped of grass with nearly twenty guys working on it.
The changes to the putting surface are smaller than what we did on #6 two years ago ... small enough that we did all of the work with flat shovels and no machines on the green. Most of it was cutting out sand buildup from the bunkers at the edges [anywhere from 3-8 inches depending on the bunker], but we did also try to gain a bit more depth in the hole locations, basing our work on an RMIT topo map of the green from 1989. I wish I had an earlier one, but you go with what you've got.
For those who don't know the history, of the 15+ courses that Dr. MacKenzie "worked on" during his six weeks in Australia, 5 West was the only green that was built while he was here. He suggested it as a sample, sort of like he'd done on the Gibraltar hole at Moortown, so that Alex Russell and Mick Morcom could work on the construction with him and get a real sense for the bunker style in 3-D. Needless to say, Brian Slawnik and I have been pretty careful not to screw it up.
