Restoring the 16th Green - Episode 2

Описание: In part 2 of this two-part series on the restoration of the Pasatiempo greens, through the lens of what was done to the 16th green, one of the most diabolical putting surfaces in golf, we pick it up as the core it out, modernize the drainage 16-inches below the surface, then they build it back up, reestablish the template, finalize the edit and then seed it and grow it in. You’ll see heat maps that indicate the changes to realistic hole locations on the 16th green, graphics over the new green indicating what’s happening around the green that makes it fair and fun, and you’ll see a three-month time lapse that shows the process in daily, weekly and monthly increments.

Months later, Fire Pit Productions was back at Pasatiempo when they reopened all 18 greens and recreated a star-studded foursome of professional golfers as they played in front of Pasatiempo members, leadership and the team who worked on the restoration. You’ll hear from Arron Oberholser and Roger Maltbie as they reflect on what the course is now versus what it was when they played it as their home course at San Jose State. And you’ll get final thoughts from Jim Urbina and Justin Mandon as they stand in the 16th fairway looking back on the project and the work they did to get it to the finish line.
