Laid out my 16th, which is also the 16th at Merion.
Just elevations and temporary textures.
I do all the groundwork first, then go back and add textures and objects when all 18 holes are built, so we are a long way from seeing some trees yet.

I like the texture for this hole even though its temporary.

Been doing a bit more
Hole 1 is the 14th from Muirfield Village.
Hole 2 is the 15th from Pine Valley.
Hole 9 in the 10th from Riveria
Hole 16 is 16 from Merion.

Also, a quick look at 10th from Riveria.

Seems to be quite a bit of activity going on around here at the moment.

Love the 10th at Riviera! One of the best designs for a short par 4. You got the look of it down too David!

David! Forgive me if I'm wrong but shouldn't #13 at Augusta green be more wide then deep? Just an observation.

Working of photos and overheads, it comes out at that shape.

Dave! If you study the pictures closely of #13 you'll see that your creek is slightly off around the green and your green needs moved left just a little and tilted at a 30 degree angle. The last big elbow in the creek needs adjusted so it doesn't go that far to the left. The Masters is this week watch shots into #13 green. The first JPEG picture of the three seems most accurate. The flat JPEG seems off so I understand what your looking at. The 3rd JPEG its hard to tell the angle because the fairway isn't showing. Just trying to help
