Re: Island Greens

a pumping system can raise and lower the water height at will. the pic shows it a few inches below "full".
jeff, the pic doesnt show it well, but its a kidney shape. the green is no deeper in the middle than on the left or right. from the approach it is 3-4 times wider than it is deep.

But if you move the polehole closer to the front of the green, you bring the water into play more and make for the dramatic risk/reward choice. If the polehole is at the front, I can either chose to risk the water but put my shot close for the tap-in, or safely land back where the current polehole is now, but have a much longer putt to hole out. Or even lay-up from the back of the green if I must.
Seems to me that the polehole is at the center of the green and the absolute easiest spot on the island to hit, which kind of takes all the excitement out of it.

What you forget Jeff, is that this hole doesn't exist. The whole course is really a stage set in Hollywood.
