What happened to the third tee box at CPC 16?

[Jordan Wall]

On page 55 in Shackleford's book, there is a picture with three tee boxes at the sixteenth.  I don't know if the third tee box to the left of the current two would change the hole, but does anybody know why it was eliminated?

Could it perhaps have been easier to use the small gap to run the ball onto the green from that tee box?

How much different would the angle be?

Cheers,
Jordan

Jordan,
My guess would be erosion. Look at the map on the inside cover and the picture on page 162 and you can extrapolate angles and distances.
