how about changing the new tee for #1 into the tee for #11 ; changing the new tee for #17 into the tee for #1; and making the old unused tee for #1 into the new tee for #17...?
this would be a solution that would not have to 'grow', or be as obtrusive and expensive as nets, eliminates the issue of the #11 tee location altogether, creates three new challenging lines of approach (especially #11 and #17), could offer the possibility of a "b" pin location for #16, ...and could result in a whole new tangent of contention 
...but seriously, it could be a solution to a lot of issues....no? |
That would make hole 11 even easier.. hole one still boring and hole 17 a tough hole but with no real place on the whole entire course to bomb a drive. Hole 17 is indespensable.. We used to play old 1 to old 20 at the DRO. I would see weird kicks and bad shots fly at 18's green.. It's not a bad idea it's just not ideal imho.
The new solution should eliminate most of the problems except for newbies now hyzering into 16's fairway. an am pad should take care of that.
