SPDB,
A bet is a bet, and if there are no yardage makers, you've got yourself a dozen balls or dinner, or both.
TEPaul,
Thanks for the lecture and story, I'm sure someone found it interesting and germaine. I don't know who, but I'm sure someone out there, probably Jewish, found it interesting.
I'm sorry that you resent that I tend to support a fact based position. I realize that theories and assumptions can be so much more interesting, inconsistent and incorrect.
But, we each make choices.
So, at Atlantic, where there are no tee monuments, no colored flags, no red, white and blue markers, no pin sheets, where caddies and walking are strongly encouraged, it's about the architecture ? Rees Jones's architecture ?
Interesting theory.
If you would take off your C&C blinders, you'll discover that it's about Lowell Schulman's early influence, just like FH is about Ken's influence.
Architecture has absolutely nothing to do with accessories on a golf course. NGLA has directional markers on # 3 and # 16.
GCGC has warning directional markers on # 4, # 10 and # 17.
GCGC sprinkler caps have yardages on them. Are these items about the architecture, or the will of the owner/membership ?
Didn't I read a post of yours that said C&C also developed a cure for cancer, heart and liver disease, and the aging process ?
