Thanks for the kind words Mike. When viewed together, Rolling Green and Lancaster really highlight the very broad scope of Flynn's talent especially the ability to create wonderfully strategic holes regardless of length. We were very fortunate to have Ron
Forse and Jim Nagle work with us on our bunker restoration project and we continue to consult with them. Like you, I'm looking forward to the time when our greens can be maintained at reasonably higher speeds on a consistent basis. Our superintendent Todd Bidlespacher has done a great job restoring healthy turf throughout the course over the last few years after a dark period and we still need to be somewhat careful with the greens this time of year.
With respect to Mr. Harris' question regarding the Highlands 9, it was constructed in the 1990's. Brian Silva was the architect. As individual holes they are enjoyable. There is however enough of a stylistic disconnect as to make playing the main 18 preferable if given the option.
I'm not sure where the Gordon attribution originated. I believe that William Gordon was Flynn's construction supervisor for holes 3 through 6 (constructed shortly before Flynn's death but almost 25 years after the original layout). I believe that they were involved in the modification of the 16th hole and possibly 2nd in the 1960's. They also created the Sunset Six course. Wayne Morrison is probably more knowledgeable than anyone else on this issue and I defer to him.
