Well, gamesdecent , I took the dang bull by the horns and decided to throw your big sand berm in there and it actually works out really well to give the horizon some depth from the 8th over the ridge! 8 Green 9, shed, portapotty, sand berm! Closer-up...I also added the picnic table behind Chico From Midtown's tree: Had lots of questions on twitter about the 12th green's (lack of) size...but look, there's plenty of surface here. And layering for DAYS with 11 green and 13 green. "Holes that aren't holes" abound! Wait til the background gets planted and gives it some depth: The 15th green is another smaller one, but at only 284 yards and this little stone-walled pot bunker lurking, only the best drives will render a chance at eagle, with 6 always a possibility: The fictional 14th is a 3 shotter. This is the second shot landing zone and the "Indy" green. Speedy, indeed: Looking back on the Indy green in opposite direction, with 15 and 16 in the background. Lots of work to even start on those holes: And for the last one of tonight...KING is aptly named and beautifully sculpted by Mr. Petty, and I hope I do it justice on the planting. Had a hard time finding a lighting I liked and it's still not close to the very enhanced photo, but you get the idea:

My man jwfickett out here putting trash bins in the retention ponds to serve as overflow drains. And running them out a culvert into the creek. I had to do a little rock work around it. It's all in the details here.

Alright, gotta keep the fiends happy... The green complex I built for the first fictional hole, #10. Bunker and planting by jwfickett, and maybe the swale too? I can't remember, I know we were planning on putting a pot bunker there but we both liked the look of just the short grass pit of despair. This one is the postage stamp short #12, playing less than 140 yards tips to furthest pin. I don't think I did anything at all in this pic except background stuff like the retaining wall work where #10 tees went in. The back bunkers really mess with your depth perception from the tees. I'm pretty proud of the 16th. The Buck Club inspired "double platbowl" that utilizes two punchbowls at different elevations and a plateau shelf between them. Depending on pin location, the strategy off the tee changes as the two pins in the back bowl are blind from certain parts of the fairway. I left the green grid up on this one so y'all can see we still aren't playing around with these back 9 greens. I also like how the back of the punchbowl turns into the ridge we're putting the Sitwell 18th green in at, which you can see starting to be roughed in in the background, top-left.

Got my green thumb on and started planting some of the other holes on the front. She's starting to become very photogenic, if I do say so myself... Hole 1 from the picnic table: Hole 1 green: Hole 2 tee: Hole 2 green: Hole 5 tee: Hole 5 green: Hole 6 green:

I've seen him in Tennessee gear too so I know he'll approve of my orange and white checkerboarded attire.
