You are wrong, there is no road to the tower, but there will be now

I can somewhat confirm this. I played Southern Oaks yesterday. The greenskeepers were marking that area (as shown in your satellite image) with blue paint. When I asked why, he said they needed to put in a new path for access to the radio tower.

Are they putting in a road or a cart path? Are there going to be cars or trucks driving out there?

Not exactly semantics when one says a ‘road’ and another says a ‘path’!

Who gets credit for this bright idea?

It sounds like what I'd call an "access way" for tower maintenance. Not an entirely novel idea, albeit not the best location for it. Considering the access way is likely to be used about 3 times a year, it's probably not too onerous.

Although, for a lot of the players I see in TV, it might impact their "roll up approach shots".

It's been used more than 3 times this week and its Wednesday
