Terrific analysis and breakdown of one of the best strategic holes in all of golf. I'm going to check out some of Ron's other golf hole analysis videos. Thanks for sharing!

I've played there quite a few times and made birdies and doubles as well as an X so when I played it two weeks ago I was keenly interested in seeing it.   The changes done by Marzoff are well done.  They lowered the buildup of sand from the last 40 years on the front right trap.  Looks to me like they also changed the depth of the sand so it's not so deep. As a result there's a new possible pin placement on the front right.  They also squared off the green on the left. I posted some before and after photos on Instagram.


They also modified the butterfly green on 15 which allows for a right pin placement.
