MW said that she found the greens at Bulle Rock hard to read with their subtle breaks, whereas she found the greens at Newport much easier to read. She finished 6th in putting at Newport, so this could be fairly accurate. Also Stacy P put on a putting performance at Newport that still has me shaking my head.
Is this a characteristic of Pete Dye greens that distinguishes his work? Are there greens from, for example, Tillinghast that would be as difficult to read as those at Bulle Rock? Does years and years of maintenance and top dressing tend to remove the subtlty?
