You have designed the perfect course, now name the holes

[Tim Bert]

What exactly is my hole supposed to mean???

[Bill_McBride]

Melvyn, thanks, you could have named my hole "Glenmorangie!"

[Pete_Pittock]

Melvyn,
Does you course have a tiebreaker or a watering hole? You could probably name it after Huckaby 

Tom,
You want war? I hear the greenskeeper has utilized weapons of moss destruction.

[Melvyn Morrow]

Tom

War & Peace, but when you are willing to dispose of a book on MacKenzie
perhaps I was right about self.

You moan if I did not include you, you moan when I do – I will never get it right but being such a kind, decent, generous, amicable and lovable guy I keep trying. Although I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that you are a total lost cause – tell me again what game do you play, as I can’t remember - think you said it may have a vague connection with golf.

War or Peace – see you in Flavian Amphitheatre (The Coliseum in Rome) – Dye style – filled with water or the more normal sandy bunker state – the choice is yours but my gladius (sword) is being sharpened as we speak.

The alternative is just to remove your name form one of the most magnificent course to be found in the Universe - just no pleasing some people.


Tim

Bill

If I did call it ”Glenmorangie”, play would be backed up for days, first while you searched for your bottle(s) then sobered up enough to complete your round.

[Melvyn Morrow]

Peter 

Would Tom have such a thing as a tie, is he that formal? I certainly would not call it a sty or trough - that would just be totally unfair on Tom. 8

[Tom Huckaby]

Melvyn:

You're right, there's just no winning with me.

As for my willingness to dispose of a book on Mackenzie, heck I thought it was a nice thing to do.  Ian Andrews is a darn fine golf course architect and a fine writer as well and I figured he could use it more than I can, especially since he is having a hard time finding a copy.  Please do fill me in on how this makes you more correct in jibing me for self-importance.

BTW I wear ties for two things and two things only:  weddings and funerals.

Man we really do have to meet someday so you can see how horribly wrong you have me judged.  Peter can fill you in.  I'm pretty much just a fun-loving yokel.  That's why I tend to take issue with those who take all this too seriously and profess absolutes... know anyone like that?
 

In any case I remain as honored for the inclusion in course 2 as I was offended by lack of inclusion in course 1.

All the best, as always.

Tom H.

ps - not sure if you follow English football, but I am a rather rabid Arsenal fan.. and the events of mid-week and today have me in a painfully foul mood.  So please do bear with me.

[Melvyn Morrow]

Tom

 

Melvyn

PS When we meet due to my Scottish blood line you will have to buy the first few drinks, will give you that feeling of self importance OK

[Tom Huckaby]

Melvyn:

It will be an honor.

Self-importantly,

Tom

[Joe Bausch]

M2, I have no idea what your 2nd hole means, but to follow Tom Doak is some kind of honor.  I think.

[Melvyn Morrow]

Joe

To be named on my course - you should be proud. The hole is short & natural with no actual hazards by the Green – mind games as the Green is the trap.

Melvyn

[Pat Burke]

All the names I usually use for courses look like
@&#%$#&
#@*(&$%^#
etc

[Melvyn Morrow]

Pat

I hope you the maturity not to shout them out loud

[Pat Burke]

Pat

I hope you the maturity not to shout them out loud

ummmm    errrrrrrrr      Okay  sure

[Melvyn Morrow]

Pat

Wrong again, well I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but clearly in some cases it’s not advisable – banging my head against a brick wall – the youth of today – what can one say, perhaps it’s the case of just using the immortal words  “**** ***”

[Mike Sweeney]

Mel,

Sometimes it is not just the youth. 

JesII

Go to Hell

[Melvyn Morrow]

Mike

Regrettable, I am not perfect and frustration can surface (when it does I try to apologise as soon as I realise my mistake), but I hope never on a course with other players.

A little bit of Hell is good for the Tan, so I am told or is it just good practice for the future as I expect it will be my final destination.

[Mike Sweeney]

Melvyn,

Just go easy on us fat lazy Americans. I took a cart yesterday on  probably the easiest walking course in America. You will just have to trust me there was a good reason. I feel fortunate to have an owner that understands all sides of an issue/policy.

Cheers
