An overly bold approach that kicks over or that hangs out too far right ends up in deep trouble. Strantz has provided bail-outs and alternate routes all around. The green sits on a natural shelf on the far side of a canal that traverses the fairway about two-thirds of the way off the tee. The fairway cants to the left, and so golfers face the option of playing close to the water, steering way left on their drive or threading a longer shot to a landing area that funnels down alongside the canal. Be careful of the canal.
Golfers share it with row boaters and small trawlers.
Mike Strantz' professional life has come full circle. And while Caledonia is his first solo project, it is by no means beginner's luck. Send it to Letters to GolfWeb . Copyright 1999 GolfWeb - A SportsLineUSA Company. All Rights Reserved.
