Also, I find McBeth's complaints about hole 17's approach ridiculous. Hole 11 at the course Paul designed in VA has almost the exactly same approach (albeit on a longer hole). It's a tight tunnel for the last 80' of the hole, about 10' wide, and the saplings are so numerous that if you're in them, the only options are a FH roller or a vertical shot.

Timestamp where you can see the tunnel: https://youtu.be/hUFlaeRGQic?t=208
My attempt at embedding the timestamp, which never works for me:
Uhhhhh, those tunnels, and the woods lining them, only look the same if you think one is a scale model of the other or something. That New London tunnel is (SWAG) something like 4 or 5 times as wide, and the gaps between the trees are similarly 4 or 5 times as wide. The trees lining the tunnel in New London are probably 10 or 15 years more mature as well.
