The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pulls them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best.

If I say something bad about Tommy will you guys email or call him and complain?  Could we please have a list of people on this site I am allowed not to admire...Don't we have to mirror real life if we are going to tackle real issues or is this site nothing but a man crush dating service.  Do any of you guys really love everyone at work, at home or on the street?

John....hopefully most here know I am just playing around...I can only endure golf stress so much...but I don't feel I am OT at all....this is a good Golf site and I value the golf related contributors here...yourself included....who have put much thought and energy into making this site what it is.

Maybe I should have posted something like;

Donald Ross.

Donald Ross...Golden Age great....I like him.

I don't think these man crush threads would be OT if we discussed the individuals architectural tastes and why we think they are anchored where they are.  Tommy has played an equal few number of Ross and Fazio courses yet has very defined opinions of each.  I am more interested how that came about than some sixth grade cute nickname that might get me in his pants.

This goes for the entire series you recently created.  Sadly, somebody will eventually get their feelings hurt if we delve with any seriousness and we can't have that.

I would love to know your "individuals architectural tastes and why you think they are anchored where they are."

Love to know, really.  Would love to.

Anytime one uses penal I laugh.

If not penal than what?  Honestly, when I am four under I am a wreck but when I am four over I am at peace.  My life is much simpler playing more difficult courses.

I loved it when asked what league he played in last season, Charlie Sheen replied, "California Penal."

John -

what would it be like to be 4 under AND at peace? I'd imagine it would feel wonderful (as would life itself, if we weren't afraid to be happy).  But how will we ever even begin to catch a glimpse of that wonderful experience if we only play courses where we're sure to get "exactly what we deserve"?

I mean this seriously. I think a great golf course is one that holds up a mirror up (with flattering lighting): it reflects back to us (gently, unless we trifle with it) our wants and desires and egos and sore spots, but it ALSO gives us a few new options/ways of seeing and dealing with all that.

Peter,

I play very easy courses very often.  I just don't like it as much and end up shooting about the same because I am so scared of going low.

This is the same reason I am a great alternate shot player because it takes the burden of success off my shoulders.
