How Natives Should Look

/

Since most of you defended the silly hack-out native grass at Turnberry, I thought I'd give you a look at what I think is an ideal native grass look. And I'll get a shameless plug in for my friend and occasional design mate Gil Hanse's new course at Castle Stuart, where he collaborated with Mark Parsinen and Jim Wagner.

Some made the point about Turnberry having been closed for many months as an explanation for the density of the natives, yet these images taken by Bruce Wellmon (posted on GCA) are from opening day. The course has not been played prior to this round except by a handful of people.
