Another way to avoid the out and back wind problem is twofold.  First, create wide angle tees and second, create angles to the fairway rather than have the fairway join up near the tee.  Burnham does this very well and could do it even better as they have the land.

My good friend, when my ship comes in and I buy BallyB, it would be my great honor if you would agree to serve as house architect.

You would receive a guarantee of no interference and a no-trade clause. Lastly, I will put you on the payroll and pay you by the hour, not by the job. You will get paid the same whether you add this improvement triangle or not!

Happy Holidays,
Mark

Does that mean I could fix the Cashen course?

I'd probably do that one for free!

Paul, I've not played the Cashen Course, so I have no detailed knowledge of it. This is, therefore, not a leading question. However, if you were given the opportunity to amend the Cashen Course what would you do? More importantly, what would you have done to be given that opportunity?
