Thanks Pete

I have sent the final to Andy. I have made #1 590 yards and also added the grasses to the bunkers as well as a few other fixes.

The Nitpicker has only one question...
Did you include Lional Ritchie's house?

No, the file is already around 215MB. I wasn't adding any more than was necessary

Not meaning to nitpick the "Nitpicker", are you asking about Lionel Richie's house or Guy Ritchie's house?

Jim

PS-Thanks Glenn for a wonderful recreation of this course!

Hi Jim-as they call him "The very rich" Lionel Ritchie...looking at Google Maps it runs the entire lenget of the 4th hole...honest...

I eake it back...he did include Lional's house! But you'd really have to shank your shot (it's a "hidden treasure")
Having seen that I will delete the nitpicks that I had prepared.
BRAVO!

If the course is already finalized, why would you not delete your nitpicks?

Did the "bump" in the middle of the 15th green get added to the final CRZ? I thought it was interesting (during the U.S. Open) that it had such an affect on the play on the green. I didn't see it in the beta..

The green is effectively divided into two sections thanks to a large bump in the middle of it. Players will need to land on the correct side of that bump — depending on the hole location — to avoid dealing with an extremely difficult putt.

Hi Bucks

The Nitpicker flys under the radar with PMs, rather than do them here-let's face it...this is one of Glenn's greatest, if not THE greatest works (although I''ll always have a "special place" for St. George's and as he and Sage can attest I was insufferable!)

I was the same way when Francois was working on Lambton (for those who don't know Toronto, Lambton is about a mile due east of St. George's...and has a hidden "treasure" that I still don't think anybody has found.

It's hard to comment on a piece of work like this...especially if you slice your tee shot on the 4th.
So the Nitpicker backed right off!

I still have notes if he ever wants to see them...but like I said, the "Nitpicker" tends to fly under the radar (he can sometimes be VERY nitty!)
...and with the price of real estate in LA they probably won't let him near the course ever again!
