Today Lasse Pekka the planner, and Kai the Head Honcho read the 11 page Review of the Project to Date.
Lasse Pekka was here to find out what had gone on since his last visit a couple months ago. A long list of adjustments had been discussed. These touch virtually every hole, and I broke down the work accomplished by the previous contractor during our walk through more thoroughly than could be handled in the Review of the Project to Date (For the full story you’ll have to read the upcoming book about the project. It’ll probably be Chapter 1.)
A few of the major changes:
- The bunker style will be changed from formal, deep, grass faced circular scrapes, to raw, natural bunkers, with edges like a broken down stream bank (actually like sections of the river here).
- The waste areas will be expanded by about double. Their management will be an evolutionary project.
- The 2nd-hole lengthened by 30 meters, the 3rd shortened by 50 meters. This offers an opening with a short par-4, long par-4, and short par-3 with a wetland left of the green.
- The 9th hole converted from a short par-4 to a medium-short par-3. It will be a spectacular hole, much better as a par-3 than a short par-4. I’ll have conceptual illustrations forthcoming in the not too distant future.
Gotta stop here…if I went on with adjustments the blog would go on for pages.
