---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the second of my JNUG courses that I have converted to JNSE.  I
have acquired additional source materials and have been able to produce 
a more accurate representation of the dunes around various fairways and 
greens.  I have also corrected several minor errors in the shape of the
fairways and made several elevation changes to show the mounding in the 
fairways.  You will also note that the back nine shows more of the 
adjacent holes.

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 
are 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.
