Although they have remodeled some of the greens to better accept those, it's still crazy. The moisture will help that alot though, so I could see the scoring be a bit better, but I don't know that it will get to -8.

Never been lucky enough to go there. Still, as hilly as the course is and undulating as the greens are, the players hit the ball so damned far now that even a 7500 yard Augusta plays like a 6800 yard Augusta from 16 years ago.
