Ian Andrew goes it alone - Congratulations..

[Ian Andrew]

I just wanted to say how much I appreciated all the calls, emails, IM's and finally the messages left on this thread.

Probably the biggest suprise is the number of architects that I have spoken to who have been very supportive of the move.
and have offered there assistance.

To say the least, I didn't expect this reaction. I assumed that most wouldn't really care about a guy who expands tees and cuts trees, so thanks again.

I hope to see some of you this year.

Again thanks for the kind messages.

Oh yeah, we are always willing to help, assuming you stay the heck away from Texas.....

Yes, northeastern Minnesota is MUCH closer to Canada!  

Congrats, Ian.  Canada (and beyond) will surely benefit.

Scott,

You should know that any self respecting Texas would consider NE MN a far north Dallas suburb.....and Toronto a far north east Dallas burb.......just as Mexico City is a far south Houston suburb.

Of course.  When you left Chicago for Dallas years ago, it was just cross-town move, y'all.

[Jeff_Brauer]

Yeah, and I had to change the baseball team I root for - from the north side Cubs to the South Side White Sox........still root for Da Bears though, despite having a semblance of a pro team in this part of town who I actually built a golf course for!

Ian ....congratulations and please let me stand the two of you a drink and toast at the Pinecrest this march .

[Ian Andrew]

Paul,

Depending on how this goes, they may be the only two drinks I can afford.   Cindy's staying home this time, she holding out for Scotland.

Jeff,

Come to Toronto (north-east Dallas) - and take back your goalie......

[paul cowley]

Ian....thats not a problem....I'll just buy you two drinks and on the second we can toast her .

[Doug Siebert]

Good luck, Ian!

Sounds like we gaining one more minimalist....its becoming a landslide I tell you, a landslide!!  Soon all new courses will be fast and firm and the years of 1960-1995 will be looked upon as the Dark Ages of GCA!

Doug,

Once again you are up WAAAYYYYY past you bed time, my friend!  Get some shut-eye!
