PGA On Kiawah Through The Green: "There is no clear definition of where such sandy areas stop and start."
/I'm not surprised that the PGA of America is playing the sandy areas at Kiawah as "through the green" since it has done so in previous events there. But what did surprise me was the explanation since the issue at Whistling Straits was somewhat similar.
If you're wondering how a course could play all sandy areas as "through the green," it's because, as the PGA of America noted, "the sand is natural to the surrounding terrain and in many cases there is no clear definition of where such sandy areas stop and start."
Dustin Johnson sure wishes they'd thought of this a two years ago.
