New Bunkers!

Anyone who played today probably noticedsomething different on #6 and #8 fairway.  Those bare areas will be the site of new bunkers.  The following is a synopsis sent to the Greens Committee in accordance with  Mr. Liddy's overall vision for the golf course.


"#6 – With a short Par five, I envision another bunker on the left side of the fairway to protect the best approach angle into the green. Coming into the green from the left is much easier, so I am protecting par by forcing the golfer to go right, where access is much harder. The second shot will either be to a small lay-up area or going for the green in two, where the golfer will have to negotiate a large tree, bunkers and a green complex not forgiving of errant long iron shots.

#8 – Another Par five that the golfer will have to adjust the second shot away from a new fairway bunker on the right. The current hole is played to a wide open second shot that has limited penalty or strategy. I envision a bunker that forces the player to either clear the hazard and lie closer to the green in two or lay-up for a longer third shot into the green.

During my trip I will walk the property with Superintendent Matt Boyce and look at the current bunkers to see if there are ways to improve the playability or accessibility while I am on-site at the Princess Anne."

The projected timeline will call for construction this week....drainage, new sod and sand to come next week.
