Scott,
Thanks for the opportunity... isn't it rewarding when the pupil comes out from under the tree? I look forward to a round.
Tom D.,
Thank you.
1. You are right. I've tried to get lots of help... the owner is seeing things a little different. He sees a lot of people as costing a lot more.
Having Don is a great start. One he is great, Two he will help insure the vision for the course is carried out - if the owner never fully appreciates the details - that I learned from you.
I don't see the down side yet given some particulars including I have all the time I need to finish and see below.
2. We do have an agreement or a like minded thought that we would both like this course to do as much for me as it will for him. And you are correct it may be impossible - he does like his privacy.
I don't have a refined value for % of upstream projects that eventually come to fruition, but I think I have enough upstream that one will swim down by the time I'm finished with this one. And yes I do keep looking too...
I may not be swiming in the same channel as Great White - but I can say I did beat him out for this job - in an way - The client specifically said he didn't want GN for the project.
I also did place above him on another project - unfortunately I was still not first.
George - lets just say it is in limbo right now... Barney has already sent me my hillbilly tour badge at hopes of inclusions - just kidding - although I would be disappointed if he doesn't.
Voytek - Thank you. It is a good thing I haven't done a lot of shaping yet - because otherwise after my visit to the Old Course I would have had to redo everything...
RJ - I can honestly say I hope I don't run across any artifacts.
I would like to get a list of personal courses. T&L Golf had an artical a few issues back with a list of personal courses. On a couple were listed as full 18s.
Anthony - I did send that Ellerston article to my client some time ago - he doesn't have that much land...
Don - thank you - it was good spending the day with you yesterday.
