To the esteemed Mr. Jeff Fortson,
Thank you for the report and compliments.
This must be my week to connect with the Nationwide Tour, with the main event being played on my course up in Omaha, and a qualifier starting on my course in Newton. I know Champions isn't long enough for them. I figure if they use the back tees SCS will be. Sounds like they may not be playing it all the way back, but I guess they feel its their "right" to reach par 5's.
BTW, no 16 was as much of a direct copy as I could make of the Road Hole green, not an inspiration. I got the dimensions out of their yardage guide. No. 4 generally plays the opposite direction from No. 2 and 10. The wind would have to switch directions pretty quickly to have them all play into the wind on the same day. Typically, 4 would be downwind on the second shot, and you can short cut over the trees to shorten that hole up a bit.
I'll watch with interest.
Jeff
