Geoffrey, you are certainly not alone in liking Trumps's Bedminster effort. 2 golfclubatlas sacred cows :) agree with you.

Scott -

What's the over under on when Huck passes me?

Taking the current stats into account, it should happen at about 4900 posts for you. 5 months would be a pretty good over/under.

Pazin's just a stain on the road.  Mucci is who I'm after.

Today is helping, gents.

Scott:  thanks.  And you're on to my goal.... reassuming the #2 slot at some point even with the 12,000 post out-take.  I figure it will happen some time in 2007.

 ;D

In terms of impressions of me based on # of posts here, hell if anyone from my job ever sees my name anyway in here I'm dead even with 3,000.  So there really is no reason to hide.

My boss walked by just as I typed that....

 ;D ;D ;D

TH,

What is your line? 'lying is a great last resort' or something like that? Boss, I swear, 3400 of those 3412 have come at home, I just started going on there to check on what courses I could get you on, figured it was OK at work, since it was business-related.

Huck, Version 2 is already ~117 posts from being in the top 15.  Early next week!   ;)

Glenn - you are right with me brother.  Lying ought to be kept for the most desparate of times, and that would qualify.

And Scott, you just made my day.  It will be quite more fun to watch myself climb the leaderboard.

How do you view beyond top 10?

In the members area, you can view the top 15.

Sorry for contributing to the hijack in the thread, so here goes:

I've admitted it before, but I like Stonehouse and Tot Hill Farm.

I've also admitted to not hating  ::) some of Rees' earlier work, such as Bryan Park (well, it's not that old) or Montauk Downs, even Myrtle Beach courses at Arcadian Shores or NLE Gator Hole weren't too bad.  None have/had Rees' Pieces or squiggly bunkers.  Montauk could be better, though, for that piece of land..... ;)

I've liked a fair amount of the Fazios I've played.

Good idea - back to topic.

Many here despise Poppy Ridge.  I wish it were more walkable, but outside of that find it to be a lot of fun.

Of course this is really too easy - courses I like that the rest of the GCA world hates.  There are tons.  I'll stop now.

Not only coming out of the closet...but I think that I might be wearing a dress!!  :-[

This one is a piece of cake...Thousand Oaks Golf Club in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Designer: REES JONES ::)

GCA Issues: Over reliance on downhill tee shots...lots of elevated greens offering no ground game options...not kept firm and fast...greens not contoured the way some would like.

On the other hand: Lots of very scenic downhill tee shots...nice variety of holes...lots of elevated greens making club selection and iron play interesting.

Enjoyed both of my rounds on this course a bunch.

Fire away!!

I played an Art Hills course near Lisbon called Quinta da Marinha Oitavos.

The only Art Hills course I have ever played, thought it was really good, really enjoyed it.

Afterwards if you had asked me I would have said Art Hills was a good designer, but from what has been said here I wouldn't know what to tell anyone about him.

Scott:

Let's get this clear once and for all:  I did NOT quit.  Never have, never will.  I came on here one day and my logon wouldn't work.  Emailed Ran about it, he didn't know why either - it was some glitch.  Hell my first thought was Ran had finally had enough of my drivel and pulled the plug on me!  

But I did not do it myself - it was a computer glitch.

In any case, I don't know exactly what the count was when I was delisted and reinstated, but it was in the 12,000s.  So at most I have 16,000 or so now.

I demand a retraction.  Hell I'm proud to be #2 and actually spent awhile trying to keep ahead of Mucci before I blew him out of the water.

 ;D ;D ;D

TH,

I think it happened when you left Clorox for your new job and the Clorox folks got hold of your computer... :o ;D

Huck,

I could have sworn last week you had something like 3000 posts.
WOW.
OK carry on, I love all of em
 ;D

Jordan,

Huck has something more like at least 17000 posts.  He 'reset' his count by quitting his old account and re-signing onto GCA on 18 NOV 2005.  Those 3409 posts are just in the last 8 months!   :o :)  Huck, care to share what your count was when you reset yourself?   ;)


EDIT:  Whoops!  Cross-post!

When you look at the top 10 poster list on the Stats page, 2 guys who otherwise would be on that list (both above me) are not there due to quitting, then resetting.  One is Huck (who would be #2 in posts).  The other would be in the #5 slot, above MC.

Eventually I will outlast all the old farts--errr, gents--on this site.
 :o ;D 8)

Paging Shivas.

RB Harris' Riverside in Janesville, a true muni that hosts an annual tourney and is usually shredded by even modest talents, mainly because it's short. Still, it has some nice design elements (funky canted fairways, some blind/semi-blind tee shots), a couple of unusual par 3s (the 95-yarder over the tree, the 180-yarder into the saucer green), a terrific half-par hole (the 450-yard 10th, played either as a par 4 from the whites or a par 5 from the blues), and that cool rail line running through the middle of it.

P.S. I also played the Brute at Lake Geneva for the first time this year, and it.....was.....not......that......bad.....

Hope this doesn't result in massive shunning at this month's GCA fest at Lawsonia.

I've mentioned Newport National a few times here, and never gotten anyone to bite too hard.  It's the only course I've ever played by the gca crowd pleaser, Arthur Hills, and it is one of my favorites (I've only really played public golf in the region) in New England.

I'm not sure if others here just haven't played it, or if everyone hates it, but I like it a lot.

I also enjoyed Pinehurst #4 quite a bit, and it seems to get ripped here pretty regularly.  It's no #2, but I thought the areas around the green were more enjoyable than anything else I played there (#7 and #8) other than the masterpiece.
