Greg,
In an effort to increase my meager 401K account, I'd be willing to wager those dozen golfers on their ability to break par consistently.
In fact, I'll package the investment and sell it, advertising it as having a guaranteed return.
I'm glad to hear that the fairways haven't been narrowed.
I'm aware that 7 has been lengthened to 600+ yards, it's a real deal par 5.
As to # 12, I must have missed a new back tee. Where is it located in relation to the old back tee. Same with # 13, the old tee box was cut into the side of the hill, where's the new one ? Ditto # 15 and # 18.
I know # 9 had a new, long, lower tee added, which I don't like, but, don't recall any significant length being added to the other holes as you indicate.
# 8 was also lengthened, but, not effectively.
What does the score card read from the back tees ?
I don't recall golfers ever hitting a wedge into # 12 green, that was always a solid, slightly uphill par 4.
Matt Ward,
Perhaps with all the new courses in South Jersey, the GD raters never ventured north of the Raritan Bridge.
Could you list the NJ top 20.
Hollywood and Mt Ridge probably have the best green complexes in the State. The movement in the putting surfaces at both clubs is spectacular.
Like WFW, I don't think you can have a straight putt if your putt is 8 feet or more.
I believe that David Eger raved about Mt Ridge, categorizing it as a top 100 in the country.
