I am fortunate enough to belong to 2 clubs. One is an old Ross design which has suffered from many of the same problems noted by Ken at his club: shrunken greens and fairways, lost bunkers, too many trees. The net result has been an almost total loss of strategy. We are nearing completion of a restoration which hopefully will be reclaim the strategic values of the original architecture. My second club is a newer Fazio design. Contrary to what most on this site might expect, it is loaded with strategic architecture. Club selection, positioning for the best angles to attack the greens and, in particular, specific pin placements are critical. I am still discovering its nuances and while I expect I will eventually bettter understand her ways I also doubt I will ever have her completely figured out. Isn't that great?
