William,
Did you manage to snap any photos of 14? I've been really curious as to even the widening of the green a few years ago? When I worked there, it was in it's original incarnation - one of my favorite holes on property. I am even more curious to see it's next iteration. 16?
It sounds like you didn't play today?
Cheers
Maybe a bit wider on the left than when you were last there...
If you primarily hit the ball left to right, this hole is not good for that.
love 14
on 16 the front left of the green is about 3 feet higher and the fairway bunker is gone at about 110 out
I wish they hadn't done anything to 14...but, if they did change anything, I wish the depression left was maintained as green to bring the left and long more into play on the approach. It would be a really neat two-tiered green separated by that vertical ridge.
Cheers
This fescue you are playing on. Don't need the green extended. Just hit it there and putt it.
Good point...except you can't put the hole down there if not maintained as green can you?!?!
Surprised you didn't consider that...how fun it would be, on occasion, to try to wedge it into a tight little halfpipe puchbowlish section. It would be a fun putt from on the original green, and a great recovery from either fronting bunker. It might also invite a more aggressive play from the tee from the better player even though the approach would seem easier, even from the low side of the fairway. I think it should be done and it would necessitate only lowering the blades.
Think about it. Having looped and played the course probably 30 times total, I think it would be fascinating twist to what people complain about and, remember, I loved the hole to begin with and thought it to be plenty "fair".
Cheers
