Forrest...unfair you say
Sure, sort of, in your opinion. I don't mean to offend. I suppose what I suggested was captured more eloquantly, and politically correct, by RJ Daley in the post directly above mine.
It really has nothing to do with this 'particular' event. But it does. It has to do with every event. I would like to think that the 20 who attend this event, and those who are involved already, have an understanding of the 'betterment of golf'. Or how did you put it, "transmit to golf in positive ways". But, I'm afraid they will only understand these positive gains in relation to their own reality. Which, by the way, is a reality that is very different from my own considering these guys are plunking down 7500 bucks.
I take it you are going to be in attendance. Good for you, if I could I would too. But don't blow smoke up my ass that these guys are going to be talking about the need for more Rustic Canyons and Wildhorses because they are not.
It is not unlike many of the problems facing the U.S. as a whole. 10% owns 90% of the wealth. This is not me complaining or whining, it's the facts. Call me crazy, but when 90% of golfers and golf course architecture students/consultants/experts are not LOGISTICALLY ABLE to attend this event.......well, that doesn't seem to be a very accurate representation of those folks who are paying the bills.
