I was at Streamsong Blue on Monday and Tuesday and paid particular attention to #7 since the pin was cut in the front left bowl on Monday.
My shot was in the upper right side and there was no problem putting down to this pin. Conceivably you could overcook the putt and putt off the green. The guy I was playing with hit a high cut that landed on the bank surrounding the front bowl and the ball trickled down into the bowl, no problem. I suppose that if he had been a really high spin player, he might have sucked it off the green, but how many retail players there could do that.
The bank in front of the green is still pretty bare and provides no rolling resistance. The weeds near the pond did prevent a ball I threw down from running into the water, but would have provided a tough lie inside the hazard line.
The saddle where the the water funnels off the green is maybe a yard or two wide where the sand top dressing is visible near the edge of the green. Given that small area of run off, it would not be surprising that ball would congregate in a small area. That area is near the dark area to the left of the red hazard stake. The dark spot is in fact a small washout where most of the runoff goes.
From the pictures it may look like the ball will funnel to the base of the bridge, but they don't.
I, for one, don't think that there is really much need for a fix here. Arguably all the greens at the Blue are severe and the 7th is in keeping with that ethos. I've played the course more than a dozen times and never had the ball run off in that area, so it's not impossible to keep the ball on the green. I'd hate to see some significant alteration to the front of the green to accommodate those that hit a poor shot that runs off.
By the way, kudos to Kyle and the gang, the greens were as firm and fast and true as any I've played in a long time. The 10th had some resodding at the front edge by the bunker but that's not really in play.
On two perfect warm windless days in prime season, there was not more than 35 cars in the lot at mid day. No doubt there were some players transported from the hotel, but it was surprisingly quiet. Maybe the $255 ++ green fee and $145 replay rate are tamping down play a bit? For us poor Canadians and our sickly loonie, two days of thirty-six hole walking with no caddie would have set me back about $1200 CDN. But since I can't walk 36 a day any more it didn't end up that much - although it is still very pricey.
From afar, there appears to be a lot of earth moving still going on on the Black, although I did see that the irrigation must be in as they appeared to be watering a good section of it south of #2 Red.
