David Tepper,
Why not go to the club's website, log into that area and make a personal inquiry, if you're geniuinely interested.
Members of Alpine and Baltusrol were kind enough to sponsor my architectural get togethers in 2003 and 2004.
Many individuals indicated that while the symposiums were terrific, they really would have liked to have played the hostiing golf courses as well.
With that in mind and in light of Matt Ward hosting a winter event, I defered mine to this spring and thought that I would try to accomodate those requests by combining a symposium with a round of golf. The only problem was that no courses were interested in hosting an event, including golf, in season.
When I approached Roger Hansen with the request, he was kind enough to approve it. He was also instrumental in getting Bill Coore, one of today's highly acclaimed architects to attend and participate for the entire day.
Your comment/question is in the lowest possible taste.
This get together, like the others that preceded it, isn't about selling real estate, it's about golf course architecture, and in particular, this year, the architecture at Hidden Creek, and we're LUCKY to have Bill Coore available to discuss the golf course and answer any of our questions. Bill is traveling from Arizona just to be with us.
It's comments like yours, and others, that have convinced me that this should be the last GCA.com get together that I'll ever organize.
