I am trying too find out where to putt the tee box for the 13th hole.
I got the information from Poohween0, and found it one a website.
Here are the changes they made for the US Open 2008
============================================================================================
I am working on the us open version off Torrey Pines whit the changes they posted on the website.
No. 4, 488-yard par four: The hole that runs along the ocean, the fairways have been widened out to the right, up near the green.
No. 5, 453-yard par four: The fairway has been widened in the drive zone, which should bring bunkers into play.
No. 13, 614-yard par five: If the shortest teeing area is used at 5390 yards, the fairway to the left, up against the canyon, is widened.
No. 18, 573-yard par five: A risk-reward hole, the fairway is widened out near the pond and wraps left around the pond.
Of course, the USGA did narrow a couple of fairways, the 612-yard 9th where three yards were taken off the left of the fairway in the third shot area and the 435-yard 14th where the fairway was narrowed up beyond the drive zone.
The Open is still seven weeks away, and thats plenty of time to start getting ready for the chatter about the brutal, 614-yard par five - if its played from the farthest tee, which would require a 250-yard carry over a canyon.
Davis said the 539-yard tee at the 13th will be used at least once over the weekend and that all three teeing areas (the other is 599 yards) will be used at least once.
But the 614-yard tee?
If we get normal weather conditions, itll play straight downwind, Davis said. But if we get any kind of precipitation or any cool weather and a crosswind or even a Santa Ana, I guarantee you wont see the tee marker all the way back there.
But i dont have a clue where to putt the tee box for the 3th hole, in the define tool it takes me in to the rock textures.

Ronbrug:
Based on the course diagrams shown in Golf Digest, Tee Boxes for both 3 and 13 are carved into the rock faces on these holes. See June 08 issue. Looking forward to your course release. When do you suppose that will be ? |

I am working on it right now.
There got me many changes, deep rough around the holes, and a first cut around the fairway about 7 feet width.
he greens will be set to run at 13 to 13 1/2 feet on the Stimpmeter for the duration of the Championship. The primary rough for 11 feet around the putting greens will be maintained at 3 inches. Outside of that, the rough will be grown to 4-5 inches (in contrast to the 2 1/2-inch rough running alongside the fairways).
i hope its gonne be ready by friday |
