Any body ever play the USF course?
I was a student both day & night classes back in the mid '70s. This was before the dog-leg 14th was named the Claw. I heard a rumor that Nicklaus didn't think the course was a fair test. I always enjoyed that course as a real test of your golf skills. My best score? An 81 and damn proud of it.
Measurements of dogleg holes typically follow the standard playing path. A measurement of a dogleg par 4, for example, will begin at the tee marker and advance to the middle of the fairway at the dogleg’s pivot point. A second measurement is then made from the pivot point to the center of the green and the two measurements are added. Section 12-2a of the Handicap Manual advises course officials to select a spot approximately 250 yards from the tee for men and 210 yards for women if a typical pivot point cannot be determined”
