Tom Paul, I tend to agree that certain hole corridor fairway cuts could be wider (the same thing could be said for that wonderful CB MacDonald course in Philly
) But given that the club (both clubs) has been committed to hosting USGA events every 6-7 years it may not be realistic. That said the following holes could be candidates.
#5-maybe both sides, although in both cases this would not provide better attack angles
#6**-always have felt the big dune on the right about 230 out off the back tee should have more right fairway, this would provide a better angle of attack.
#11-Slightly more room on the right although this doesn't create better angle.
#17**-Wonderful short par 5 with hogs backed shaped fairway, very difficult to hold, some more width on both sides might make sense, although given the length of the hole...
This all being said sometimes the slightly larger first cut actually prevents some balls from ending up in the real bad stuff. Maybe Ran can ask Bill about this??
