Pete,
I went to the scorecards and websites (for memory purposes!) and did my match of Duke vs. Finley. I'm glad I did, because I had forgotten that Duke had flipped the nines, and that #9 (formerly #18 had been converted to a par 5. You're right; that is a goofy par 5, which is a shame because it was a very solid finishing par 4 when it was the 18th, and still would be the better finisher of the two nines IF it was a 4.
I differed with you on only two holes, with a third that I can't completely make up my mind about (though ultimately I went with your judgement).
#2 I gave this to Duke; I've always liked that green, and the shape of the hole off the tee is deceptive. It looks like it ought to favor a draw, but doesn't really, and the best landing area for the tee shot brings the bunkers into play.
#8 I agree that neither par 3 is compelling, but I like #8 at Duke somewhat better. Semi-blind tee shot with a mid to short iron is very playable, and the recovery possibilities are much more interesting than #8 at Finley.
#18 is the one on which I just cannot decide; Duke is just two shots where you hit it as far as you can and hope for the best. It is a relatively boring hole with a relatively flat green on a very good piece of ground, which makes it a strange way to finish the course. On the other hand, Finley's #18 does nothing to stir my soul either. As a finisher, I guess I'd rather see a birdie chance to win rather than bogey to halve, so I'd have to give the nod to Finley's #18 on those grounds. The Finley green is more interesting as well.
Anyway, if I'm counting correctly, that puts Duke winning 2 and 1, with Finley winning 18 to stay 1 up on my card. I had a blast doing this; thanks for getting the thought process started! I will also readily admit that, given the much better nature of the overall terrain at Duke, there is much for me to think about vis a vis Finley.
