Good job Joe, probably should label #8 tee on the left and #13 tee on the right.
My thinking is to investigate adding a second green----the Blue green!---because the #7 tee cannot be moved back. The original intent on this hole has always fascinated me because, as Joe shows, there is plently of room to the #13 tee and it is up hill. My guess as to why Flynn chose to put the green in its present location is the knob of a hill which sits just short of the green and makes a three shotter instead of a long par four in his day. If a green were placed up there it would a challenging shot of at least 225 yards because the fairway crossing creek is 150 from the existing green.
Doug,
The approach would be blind. I'd be interested in Flynn info on other sites where he may have done something like this.
As for the MorrPaul bunker, I told those dunderheads it wasn't needed and it probably wouldn't be built like they wanted.
I think a bunker more to the right of that which could act as an aiming point for the blue green and catch errant shots directed to the present green would be neat.
Some have expressed concern that shots intended for the second green could end up on the existing green.While this is possible it is unlikely. People can't keep balls on that green now and they are trying to
What I'm wondering is what i are the factors to consider when thinking of a second green.
We have received some guidance against doing it; I'm not trying to be a pain here. It just seems to make sense intuitively.
And , after all, this is a golf architecture discussion group!
