Pat-
I could post rebuttals for days/weeks/months and I am sure I would never convince you otherwise about Pebble.
Being that I am not a trained golf course architect I do, fortunately or unfortunately, look at everything through a golfers eyes.
I will never win debating you that a bunker should be 1.5 feet deep versus 4 feet deep. So I am going to take the Sarah Palin approach and say simply (very simply) those holes add very little to the course comparatively speaking. You realize you are in the drivers seat on this by making me try and dissect four very bland holes from an architectural standpoint. I am not foolish enough to try and pick them apart in an amateur way on this forum which is full of real trained and good architects. I will simply leave at this. Its kind of like porn, you know it when you see it, and those 4-5 holes simply aren't world class. Period.
