Abstract/Contents: | Describes renovations to Morfontaine in Senlis, France. States that "Tom Simpson's design at Morfontaine is [in] France is widely regarded as one of the finest courses in mainland Europe." Cites a "layout [that] had fallen behind the times" as a reason for renovations, stating that "for good players, there were far too many holes that were just a tee shot and a short iron, and many of Simpson's design features were just being flown over." States that "Morfontaine engaged American architect Kyle Phillips...to advise them on potential changes." Suggests that "the removal of encroaching trees has helped return Morfontaine to Simpson's vision of a course that can challenge the best while still being fun for the less gifted. The club plans to make further alterations to two or three holes, but...there is no intention to turn it into a modern monster." |
