There's definitely nothing wrong with playing the course over and over again Pat, but if you really want to study and understand how what you were playing over and over again got there in the first place you do what I did--you try to look at and understand that land the way Ben and Bill and Dick Youngscap and the others did before they built the golf course for you to play over and over again.
Just for posting this thread, henceforth, I will refuse to tell you what I saw and learned while you were going around in circles beating a little white ball into the blue Nebraska wild yonder! And what will you do or know then? Practically nothing. After a while I'll probably have to start lining you up on the tee and showing you where you're supposed to go next.
Try to remember, at least once every day, if it were not for me and the things I do and teach you and tell you about you'd be nothing as a golf analyst---a total zero in fact. Without me you'd be nothing. I am your master. You will never be more than a master student.
In fact I did find the Sand Hills "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", and Coore and Crenshaw's "Constellation Map" was the key and I ain't telling you one damn other thing about it from here on out. I even found the tire iron on "Tire Iron Hill" and you don't even know where that is---you duffus!
What were you doing when I was out there with that crew at 6am getting the skinny on the nuances of that golf course? You were in Room #22 snoring, that's what.
