Just another thought.
 

:chinscratch: If hole 8 is going to be removed, what do you think about moving tee of 9 back, out of range from drives on hole 10?:

Is there a line from further back?

<edit> there is, I went and looked.

Where are you thinking? If you put it back then another safety issue comes into play, the people that just threw off of 10 (8) coming down the hill in front of people driving on 9 (7). But if its safe to cross that type of fairway then I dont think that will work? But in the new layout it happens more than you think.
