Donald Ross is turning over in his grave...

A flower bed was just installed behind the 4th hole at RICC to add color! Well, how about a Mary in a bath tub... or a koi pond, or 30 foot high statue of me with my pants on my ankles, shining a big hairy ass moon at all approaching shots.  All three landscape features would have an equal place in this landscape.


Just look at the picture above. The flower bed now dominates the entire hole, and in (not so) my humble opinion,  flies in the face of anything Donald Ross would want to see around one of his greens.  You don't have to be landscape architect to realize that changes to golf course designed by a world class golf course architect should follow the spirit of the original design parti.
