Terry said little tweaking was needed to transform it from a members' course to one for the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship.
"This is a golf course that doesn't need trickery to make it a great golf course," Terry said. "It is a great golf course."
A timeless beauty that for this week is a bit of a beast.
