you certainly captured the essence of that bethpage par 5. great hole and par 4 after it is a beast. too bad a local company and not tillinghast finished the greens. would have easily been tillie's best course otherwise. have no idea why RTJ jr never added some character to those pancake flat greens since he got the gig to modify the course for the Open.
Rees Jones did the work not RTJ, Jr . It was cheaper to bring the bunkers closer to the greens than to expand them towards the greens. See John Feinstein's "Open" for some good insight.
On a more important note, nice job with the sketches Vince.
