INTERESTING
ERIN HILLS FACTS:
The architects actually built 19 holes at Erin Hills, leaving an extra
hole as a way for players to settle ties without ever having to go
back to the first tee. That extra hole will be used for the WAPL as
the USGA decided to not play the par-3 seventh hole, which features
a blind tee shot. The seventh was designed after the Dell hole at
Lahinch (No. 6) in southwest Ireland and features a large dune that
protects the green. At Erin, just as at Lahinch, a rock is placed
at the top of the dune to show where the flagstick resides. The architects
also designed a Biarritz Green* at the par-five 10th.
*SIS
Contest: Be the first member to send us the correct definition
of a "Biarritz Green" and receive a nice prize—the first
ten responses will receive an engraved SIS ball mark. Everyone with
the correct answer will receive a gift. Send your answer to
Jo@shivas.org. Put Biarritz in the subject line.
