advice:"This golf
course is famous for playing longer than its 7,000 yards,"
Throne says. "All the par 3s are long, plus there are a
number of holes with forced layups, there are a lot of uphill
shots, a lot of risk/reward doglegs and a lot of trees. Get out of
the fairway and you usually are in a lot of trouble."
Throne on
Throne: "My top
assistants and most of my crew were here ahead of me and worked
through our extensive renovation. At this stage of my career I'm
certainly more of a delegator. I give my assistants a lot of room
to make the decisions that come up out on the golf course."
