Musgrove Mill in Clinton SC, I might be wrong but I'm thinking that Ed Seay and Palmer just did the routing and I"m not sure what the guys name is but one of the founders did most of the design work. I've played there many times and its a great test that most here would enjoy.

Does anyone know (Tom Paul, perhaps) if Ernie Ransome had enough input to the design of the Short Course at Pine Valley to qualify?

Or did Tom Fazio really do (mostly) all of the good stuff?

For those who've not played it, the Short Course is 10 EXCELLENT golf holes - any of which would be the best par 3 on most any "regular" golf course on the planet.

Sorry Chip,  I totally disagree with your opinion.

It is not as advertised, a "duplication of second shots on a number of holes on the regular course."

That's alright, Bill.

Lots of very smart people disagree with me - especially regarding golf architecture.

You're in very good company.
