You HAVE to show bias on this one...

« **on:** July 28, 2005, 06:51:10 PM »

The Stiles and Van Kleek thread got me thinking. If you could choose an architect that you would like to have your name permantly attached to, who would it be? Purely fantasy, and you risk showing favoritism, but who would it be?.....

Ross &.....?

MacKenzie &....?

Etc.....

I would speculate on some of your answers, but that would probably start the fur a' flyin'!

Have fun,

Joe

Nuzzo & Simpson

... and when we made presentations at green comittee meetings, we'd show up in two Rolls Royces.

If Coore & Crenshaw have the alliteration taken for the "C's", how about....

Smyers & Slonis

Nicklaus and Daley, cause I'd be so rich they could all go kiss my grits.

Dye and Hutto...

'cause he'd teach me how to drive one of them big Cats!

Well I'm gonna go for Kerr + Mackenzie, among other things because 'infinitesimal' is a vastly underused word:

"THE cost of the best advice is infinitesimal compared with the amount of money frequently wasted without it."

"THE amount of harm done by rabbits is infinitesimal compared with the good they do.
They keep the land sour and create the best golfing turf, with freedom from weeds and worms."

This is silly, but I'll bite. My obvious choice would be:

Kirk/Doak

I'll manage the boring financial and business details, and leave old Tom more time to create. Of course, I'll offer my unsolicited opinion from time to time.

Now what if Tom responds to this thread and says that Doak/Kirk would be his choice as well? That would be something!

Well, of course, John...silly is one of my predominate traits, for better or worse. I am actually surprised there are so many silly posters here!

Joe

p.s. I doubt managing the financials for the Ren Men would be very boring!

When Pete and Perry Dye teamed up with Bobby Weed a few years ago, their company, as I heard it, was called
Dye Weed Dye

Being more modest and practical, I'd happily reprise the Liddy/Klein team.

I'd like to team up with Els when he gets ready to design courses. I think we will call our firm Bert & Ernie.

« **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2005, 05:52:18 AM »

Although I'm sure it would not have enriched my bank account.

I'd go with Hackett&Walsh.

Think of all the great land I would have got to work with. Also maybe they wouldn't be in the top 5 in the country but at least my grandchildren would be able to afford to play them.

« **Reply #16 on:** July 29, 2005, 08:14:40 AM »

I would want to team up with Tom Paul, cause then we could be Paul Paul, or Tom Thomas or Paul Tom

.....

« **Reply #17 on:** July 29, 2005, 08:22:01 AM »

Flynn, Freeman

or Thomas, Tuco

Or you could be Paul, Thomas

Or you could be Thomas, Paul

Or you could each have cards made with the proper version of the name.

Moran & Moron

The latter would be me, obviously.

I'd just try to stay out of the way, but Kelly seems like he'd be cool to hang with on the site, plus he's local to me, and plus, I admire his work. If that's a bias, what the hey..

Raynor & Keever sounds pleasing to my ear.

Burbeck & Kelly.

Amazing. NOBODY picks Ross. Oh yeah, I forgot: He really didn't have that much to do with the 400 courses that are attributed to him.

Funny how relatively obscure Ross courses keep showing up in new threads and how they continue to host state open and amateur championships after all these years.

Sometimes I wonder why all the guys that "get it" on here don't "get it."

Mike

I don't want "it."

and the other good thing about our firm, Brent, would be that if I screwed something up I could always blame Tom: " oh sir, you are mistaken , that was Tom's fault...it's easy to do cause our names are so alike..."
