Newport On Mike Davis
The Wall Street Journal's John Paul Newport profiled Mike Davis in his Saturday column. This tidbit concerning an alteration to Davis' initial hole plan caught my eye:
With the green speeds finally up to the goal of 13½ feet on Wednesday, Mr. Davis altered five of the 90 locations. "In every case it was to make them easier," he said. On the 18th hole, he moved one location a pace to the right because he deemed it unnecessarily taxing for players putting up and over a nearby ridge to stop the ball near the hole.
