A 100-year flood wrecked this Spirit hole. Two years later, it might be better than ever

TRINITY, Texas — Stars have come and gone at the Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship at Whispering Pines Golf Club, and plenty of them have been big ones. The tournament, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, counts five former world No. 1s on both the men’s and women’s sides among its alumni. But this year, the biggest star might be a piece of the back nine that wasn’t even in play the last time the biennial event came to this remote corner of Texas, about 90 minutes north of Houston.

Now you’d never know it. In fact, the hole might be even more visually stunning than it was before.
