Attached is the final redesign proposal.

Eric has some ideas about the alt pins and changing only the required holes. Only holes 2 and 15 pose problems where it is hard to find a good solution.

Moving up 2's tee closer to the rocks and moving the pin back and to the right some could work. It would add a buffer of 20-30 feet more in between the basket and the river and would point the tee more away from the river. This would, of course, point it more at 17's green, but that green is also easily visible from the tee.

The only solution I could see for 15 is moving the teepad up the path and maybe moving the basket a little deeper into the woods. This would turn a solid hole into a weak one, but would resolve the erosion issue without having to completely redo all the holes.

I've heard people suggest using 15's old tee, but that throws right over 14's pin and also still has a large risk of kicking down the hillside due to the angle of the tee.

A third solution would be to get the city arborist in there to allow us to clear some of the more unhealthy overgrowth back in that area that could let us make a better hole, but I don't think he has got back to Jeff yet. If we could do this we could definitely use the hole from DRO/C-Re's layout that is L shaped near the road, and it could also give the first solution a more viable green/fairway.
