THIS COURSE WAS ORIGINALLY DONE BY SCOTT CHESNEY.

I was fortunate enough to have a friend send me the yardage book
which was very helpful in my adaptation. This couple with my respect
for Scott's work and having redone Mean 18 version led me to this.
I like to rework something that is good to begin with. You should
not believe that I don't like Scott's work. I love it. It will give
you a chance to look at the same course done a couple of ways. First
what makes the course is the outstanding background which is Scott's
The clubhouse was added by Lonnie Iris my design partner. It was 
reproduced from a photo we had and looks just like it. Most of the
objects were borrowed from various Chesney courses with the live 
oak and small willow mine. Hopefully these will convey the look and
feel of South Carolina.

Scott's version was far too simple as this is one of the hardest
courses to score on the tour. This results from trees next to and
even in the fairway. A couple of holes feature chute shots off the 
tees. I have tried to recapture the sand appearance of the style
used throughout the course. On the real course there are railroad
ties everywhere. Unfortunately these are almost impossible to  do
and yet have them look and play realisticly. They have been used
on a couple of the par 3's.

The green's are small and DYE and NICKLAUS (the course designers)
don't believe in three putts. Here's hoping you don't find one. 
Because many of the greens are guarded by trees, hitting them in
regulation will be a challenge. This course will definitely test
your ability to make all the shots. Nicklaus was quoted once 
"I get angrier here than anywhere else. This place is designed
for some shots I'm not supposed to be able to make and that's a
challenge. Then when I can't hit them, it just burns my rear up"
I hope you agree that I have reproduced that challenge.

Once again I would like to thank Scott for his understanding 
in my reasoning for reworking the course. I actually perfer this
to building a course from scratch as it allows me to concentrate
on enhancing without worrying about the basics. 

Unfortuately it was impossible to recapture the feel of the salt 
marsh on #18. This is one of the high points of the course and I 
could not find a way to do it real justice. A few effects still
elude us and I guess that is why we keep designing.
