Joe is so right , it's a great day for architecture buffs. . Pine Valley pretty much allows spectators to go anywhere that golf is being played , you really get a good feel of the shots the angles etc. , and its lots of fun .
For any of you first timers , try to get a get a good look at the design on #6 , #13 and #16, which all use angle so effectively as an architectural feature. Picture how you would attack the tee shot on 6 , realizing if you are a long hitter you must throttle down or risk driving it too far. Perhaps the course will be firm and fast , and even those who know the golf course well will be surprised how much different it plays . The second shot to # 4 , particularly for the senior division , is so intriguing, as trajectory is so important if its playing fast.
Don't miss taking a good look at the second hole , as its one of the most interesting greens on the planet. There are probably twenty really tough hole locations , even if you don't count the one they once used in the caddy tournament . The green is totally rumpled , but the genius in the design is that you can use the folds to slow down even the most pernicious of putts. Gotta run but would love to hear from anyone who attends this Sunday!
