One of the things that astounds me on this board that it's always about private courses. Sure, I'm visiting NYC where can I play? - WF, SH, etc. Oh, yeah throw in Bethpage as the token public. I just don't get it. Yes, these are the best courses, and would love to play them, but when one asks where should I play? why does one presume they can get on to the most restrictive courses in the country? Guess my blood isn't blue enough. For the cape Captains is enjoyable among others but the courses in Plymouth -Waverly Oaks and Pine Hills are better.
