Played Woking yesterday and noted something of a "master plan" sitting on the clubhouse table from Dec 09. Most was really to do with bunker resoration, largely related to poor performance of imported turf on the faces of bunkers near the greens and a debate about whether to return these to heather faces as most of the fairway bunkers still have. Seems there was an intentional strategy previously not to have heather faces on the greenshide traps - not sure why, they do look far better.
Anyway, a lot of bunker refacing seems to have been done, but not sure what it is, as it has yet to grow in.
Of most interest however was plan or at least a design for a new 16th hole. Move the tee back and left to behind the 15th green, join up the ponds into one large pond so that the tee shot pretty much skirts the edge all the way to a new green more in line with the others on the course. Largely a drainage issue, but also adding a few yeards and perhaps protecting that boundary fence as well, but also a deisre to get this hole, that was always a little odd, looking a little more appropriate. Spoke to an old chap in the bar, doesnt seem to be universal support for it, as it did seem to have a touch of Augusta 16 about it, so not sure whether it will go ahead.
Forgot who the designing firm was who was doign the work, I had a few wines by then
