A new tee is about to be constructed.  In addition, a new bunker was built on the left at 240-265 from this new tee.

Robert:

It's not a new bunker on the left side---it's just basically a  restoration of the size of the old one which shrunk over the years.

Personally, I think the shape and look of that dirt piled there looks pretty cool. Maybe it should've just been left there and grassed over. Or do you think maybe I should tell them to put another pile just like it out in the middle of the fairway at about 290 and grass it over?

There'll be no Internet for me over there, Paul. The laptop is still in the box. But I'm pretty sure I'll be drinking something red over there.

Should I bring the dump truck driver who dumped the dirt in that photo of the Creek down to Newark to do his thing? It sort of looks like his clutch work was a little rocky which actually turned out sort of artistic, don't you think?

Paul:

On further examination and on second thought let me amend that. When I was a kid I loved to go to the New York Museum of Natural History and that mound of dirt in that photo above looks suspiciously like a dinosaur turd I saw at the Museum in 1949.

Is this tee sort of wedged in between the entrance drive and the front of 4 green? As TEPaul notes, the bunker is not new, but has shrunk over the years, and additionally it was hardly ever in play as it had become engulfed in trees.

Bill - the 5th is, of course, not a skyline green. Pat Mucci refuses to acknowledge that and has yet to make good on the bet I made with him on that very point 5-6 years ago.

Yes it is but it'll work fine.
