Olympic Club's 670-Yarder, The Aftermath

San Francisco media outlets focused on the addition of a 670-yard tee at the Lake Course and I guess most of us are just immune to the absurdity of such golf course expansion and the dreadful hypocrisy of governing bodies expanding the courses so they don't have to make the case for...doing their job.

So I talked to the USGA's Mike Davis at the Golf Industry Show about that reaction, which overlooked some bigger news about the course and setup touches which will restore 16's place while making 17 a better hole.

The item is in this week's Golf World Monday with a nice aerial of the hole, reminding me just how much of a dogleg it really is. And also how much I love Opens at Olympic Club.
