Course Name: The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, South Carolina Notoriety : Site of the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches Source : Videotape of the the USA network and NBC telecasts JNUG Design: Ted Maiden (aka "MAKER") --------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE COURSE: I managed to get about 18 hours of videotape on the Ryder Cup Matches and thanks to USA Network and NBC and the Metlife Blimp for some great shots of what may go down as the greatest golf event of this century. It was truly golf at its very best. You will have to bring your thinking cap to this course. The greens are the fiendish creation of Pete Dye, the course architect, and are very undulating and hard to hold. Each of the greens was perched atop a mound and has steep slopes off the sides. I did not have access to a scorecard, nor a course layout. The blimp shots great, but cannot replace a good layout diagram. So, there are bound to be some technical errors in the design that I present here. However, I feel that I have captured the ESSENCE of the Kiawah Island experience. If you want to feel what Payne Stewart, Ray Floyd, Fred Couples, Paul Azinger, and the rest felt, then try this course with fast greens and the wind above 20 mph. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the scorecard as I built the course. The Ryder Cup was played with the length set at 3553/3550=7103 yards. I have added a few yards to allow for the JNUG software.
