[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2986451, member: 70903"] My single biggest problem with Dye (beyond the fact that he overused railroad ties as his signature because he had no real construction vision) was that his designs didn’t truly allow for a recovery from a mistake it is like he thought if you didn’t find the fairway or the green on your approach - you should be given a penalty stroke as if the rest of the course is a red marked hazard a 20 ft deep bunker down the entire left side of a hole is one thing - hiding 5 ft deep grass moguls on the other side that required a high iron to get out so you couldn’t reach the green is another feel like many of his designs after Teeth of the Dog were kind of lazy and he just kept going back to making small fairways with impossible recoveries on both sides and raised greens with railroad ties at the end of the fairway for every course you see the same thing happening on Fazio Signature courses - if you were blind folded and dropped on the first tee of Dallas National, Shooting Star, Glenwild,.... they are the same golf course over and over just in different locations but then I guess that is what people are paying him to deliver [/QUOTE]
