Nice! That long pin position in the trees on hole#4 is gonna play sweet. Has hole#7 been placed in the C pin yet? I think I've only seen the current B spot and the A pin on the right closer to the pavilion. No, hole 7 c-pin green needs additional clearing. Once it's cleared, tee shots, approach shots and putts will all be very intimidating due to the back edge of that green that slopes down the hillside toward the parking lot. How about hole#10? I think I've only seen the B pin on that. The fast green around the C pin is gonna be deadly. We probably will not move 10's basket to the c-pin anytime soon due to the current tee situation. It's difficult enough to card a par 4 on that hole due to the upward slope of the tees. Once we've back-filled and created some level tees, however, I'm sure we'll be playing c-pin! Where's the C pin on hole#11? To the right of the A pin and closer to the OB? Yes, you are correct. The c-pin green needs clearing and we need to rope off the OB marsh/bog area behind the green. My understanding is that the park director is concerned about erosion on and around this green, thus, 10c will probably only be contested during tournament play. I'm still eagerly looking forward towards longer pin positions on hole#13. The B and C pins are needed to make this hole a true pro par 4, even from the blue tee. I concur. Right now, hole 13 to the a-pin plays as the easiest par 4 on the course and both b and c pins will bring the scoring average closer in line with the intended design. In fact, last night I joked with Dan and told him it's not too late for us to go back to the original design for the hole (I can't describe it, you'd have to see it). Hole#15 is another one where I'm looking forward to longer pin positions that will likely make the hole easier because it makes the water less in play. Your statement is half-true. The b-pin is further from the water's edge and is located to the right of the current a-pin and just inside the treeline on the hillside. C-pin has yet to be installed, but it will be to the left of green center and possibly closer to the water's edge than a-pin. The strip of land between the water and hillside is significantly less wide, thus, a tee shot intended for the pin will have a much greater risk/reward ratio. The smart play to c-pin will be to shoot for the green center (just left of a-pin) and plan to putt for the deuce. On the flip side, I hope you guys never move hole#14 or hole#16 from the A pin positions. Those holes are über-challenging as they are!!! We will probably announce a work day (or weekend) on hole 14 following the PFDO. This hole needs a lot of work as it stands. Once it's said-and-done, Jeff, you'll be asking to play the b & c pins (I know you...)!
