As for Colonial, I've been watching this weeks' tourney and looks like Colonial goes under the knife starting the day after the event. They've been mentioning some details on the renovation, NO yardage will be added, Gil Hanse is doing the work, they are bringing it back to 1940s when it was first opened, so should be interesting. They are doing major work to the 8th hole I understand, I'm guessing they will bring it next to the Trinity River there. Hanse did Olympic, Southern Hills, and many more, his redesigns are great, so I'm sure the course will need tweaked and bunkers reshaped, anxious to see the finished product. Colonials renovation wont be done until next spring, so cant start until then.
I have the green contours for Colonial, so there will be no more questioning the greens. Announcers just said it ranked #2 behind Detroit GC on putts made between 15-25' out of all the courses on tour last 20yrs, so it is a hard putting course, I didn't incorporate all the subtle breaks either. The greens book will give you guys the exact greens the pros putt on, should be cool. I'm going to start with this project and get used to the APCD again after a long break, takes me awhile to remember how to do some stuff. I'll try to post updates also
If everything goes well, I have a course I've been drooling over for a couple yrs now, but will leave that a surprise to see if I can finish these projects off. I know my track record has been sketchy lol, so we'll see
