The club has a masterplan from Gil Hanse. Just because Gil may have mapped out the removal of many trees, does not mean that it simply happens at once. Removing trees is a very nasty political battle that I have witnessed first hand. I think that they have done a commendable job up to this point and am certain that the tree management is not complete. This week's Oakmont experience should help many courses come to grips with their tree issues. As for the 13th, there is a false front and the green is well sloped---in the afternoon round, I landed 40 feet deep into the green and had a pitch and run back up to the middle all the way left pin position. As for the bunker work, hopefully, Gil is not to blame, but it was under his watch that the bunkers came in poorly and had to be rebuilt this past fall and spring. They were simply rebuilt with proper drainage and faces that will not turn into a thatch farm.
