If you were the czar at ANGC, how many trees would you cut on the inside of the dogleg on the 13th hole (i.e. to the left of the creek)?
None? Several? Or would you opt to cut a # of trees away from the creek and up the bank?
I ask because the trees overhanging the creek certainly seem to wall off flirting with the creek during the flight of the tee ball. Would it be more tempting/taunting if the golfer had the option of either using the right to left topography AND/OR taking a more direct/aggressive line off the tee? Also, if the trees were down, would the golfer's eye be lured left, thus perhaps making it harder to steer the tee ball away from the creek?
By chance, does anyone have some b&w pics of how the tee shot looked/played in the 1930s?
Cheers,
