George B-
I could go on and on about SLCC - have been playing it for years - but thought Ran's review was right on target. That said, much of what was lost during WWII (bunkers, green shrinkage) is in process of being restored - this season has been much fun to recognize/revel in the changes - in addition to a full-scale tree removal program being underway. Hopefully when Ran visits StL in late Sept
, he'll have the chance to get back out for an update. (I really don't think my writing would be able to compare to that of the rest of you - so I'll defer....for now).
And as an aside, I was introduced to GCA by an SLCC member (who was simply excited to see the course reviewed) about 18 months ago. Subsequently, I've become enamored with the site and architecture / history beyond CBM (trip to Pinehurst this past Spring was almost spiritual). I've become far more aware of the nuances, subtleties, etc. of not just SLCC, but everywhere I play now. For that, thank you (again) Ran and the rest of you here at GCA!
