| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Pine Needles Golf Course in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Discusses renovation of the course by architect John Fought for the 2007 Women's Open. Details the changes, stating that "the course's greens - which Fought describes as beign slightly less dramatic versions of Pinehurst #2, as many are crowned and have significant fairways - have been recontoured to match [Donald] Ross's original plans." Mentions that "extra length at many...holes has been achieved through new back tees, although the forward tees remain in position, allowing the golfer to play off Ross's markers if he so desires." Concludes that "playing firm and fast, Pine Needles doesn't feel like an unreasonably long golf course. Most greens are open in front, and the firm conditions make the run-up shot often a very sensible choice. The recontoured greens offer all the challenge the golfer might wish." |
