Jordan, regular golfers can see the course, and they appreciate it as well. Even a non-golfer can be blown away by Pine Valley; there is something there for everyone to appreciate.
As you probably know, once a year the membership opens their doors and allows any and all manner of people unfettered access to every acre of the course with only the greens being off limits. In return they ask for nothing except for a nominal fee to cover parking and a bus ride, all of which winds up going to the local Little League. With no ropes and few rules to restrict the spectators, one can easily find themselves standing alone with an entire hole to themselves, providing the opportunity to study the features of the course at their leisure. For one afternoon a year anyone can study every inch of Pine Valley, on their hands and knees if they choose. That is a gift that is much richer than a few hours on The Golf Channel could ever provide. I don't know of any other course that allows this kind of interaction with the public.
Glenn, I recognize that for many a trip to the Crump Cup would require a great deal of travel and that you'd like to see the course from the comfort of your home. That is understandable, but certainly not owed to us. (BTW, the trip would be worth it, the golf course is jaw dropping). I don't think we're owed the Crump Cup access, but I'm grateful that it is available. As for television, I am certain that it is not owed to us. Not to mention, I think the dearth of coverage only adds to the mystique of the place.
