White continues to surprise and impress, and perhaps impresses more because of the surprise. (Agree with my assessments so far or not - but are there actually, as GW suggests, some 140 modern courses better than DRW? Wow. If you guys are indeed playing these 140 better courses, you're even more blessed than i'd imagined.) At the 9th, again as you know just from pictures and descriptions, my mixed feelings about almost all par 5s are strongly mitigated by two factors/features I really like - the canted fairways and the fact that it is long enough to be reachable in two by only the longest hitters, and so there are no 'mixed messages' around the green as you see on many Par 5s that try to be provide more balance/choice. (My favourite par 5 I ever played, by far, the 8th at Crystal Downs, didn't provide this balance/choice either...and it is the only par 5 I've ever loved.) Red, with all its holes, is always good, the holes always draping just so 'rightly' and the plays/options/trouble integrated so well. Perhaps, in an opposite way, I've not been surprised enough and thus am not giving Red enough credit. Be that as it may, I give this hole to DRW.
So, after 9 holes, the PJP scorecard has DRW - 1 up.
