Juniper
Par 3, 180 Yards
Original Intent:
"With the ball stopping either short of this raised area (back plateau) or off to the left of it, it is an extremely difficult job to get the first putt close to the hole."
- Bobby Jones, in Sports Illustrated, April 6, 1959
Significant Change:
- Pond filled in at front of green, 1959
Did It Work?
The cosmetic change has had no real effect for tournament play. Putting the tee shot on the proper side of the green is crucial.
