I will also preface that I love the blog, especially the writings in the architect countdown.
I'm young, and I certainly do not know much nor have the right to say much, but one principle I have growingly grasped over the past couple of years is that of site adaptation. It requires having an entirely clear head prior to visiting a site and responding with a design that reflects that site--its opportunities, constraints, look, form, and feel. I believe this to hold true to other design media as well, but in golf it is the most important, for the site is the most closely to its surrounds. I have a professor in landscape who says, "If you don't give any care to context, don't design this park--design any park. Just make up whatever you want and put it wherever you want." I'm going a bit astray here, but you get the point
I think changing the word "Will" to "Might" would change a lot.
