New course in the works
Posted: November 22nd, 2010, 12:57 pm
I started a new course about a month ago. There's a funny story behind it, too... I decided to design a course in Alabama, drawing some inspiration from the RTJ Golf Trail. I searched for a bit on Google Earth and found a great, hilly site very near Oxmoor Valley, a RTJ design near Birmingham, AL. I wanted to come up with a name first so my librarie(s) would have the same name and eliminate the need to change the file names later. I settled on Ross Bridge, named after the road the course is accessed from. Here's the funny part, little did I know that there is a new RTJ course located on the exact same site...with the SAME NAME!!! I realized this after looking for pictures of some of the Trail's courses. My version of Google Earth does not show the course being there, just a bunch of trees!
So, my design is purely fictional, and hopefully as good as the real Ross Bridge! I designed this course to be played from 2 different sets of tees, giving you 2 different angles and yardages to most of the holes. The shots below are of #9. Black tees are "tournament tees", yellow tees are "pro tees"...
