Mike Clayton (5)

14 South.

I’ve seen well-struck shots land on the green short and left and then run back down into the deep bunker. I think if you can make good contact and hit a shot that lands on the green, you probably deserve to stay on the green. You certainly don’t deserve to end up in a bunker. That’s a design flaw with this hole.

15 South.

The green on this hole is another design flaw. All but the very longest hitters will be playing a blind 3rd shot to this green. Wouldn’t be a problem if the green was small, but this very long (from front to back) green gives no depth perception for the approach shot. This means that how close your approach shot is to the pin is again more a test of luck than a test of good golf.
