I hope this doesn't sound too corny, but I thought this was a good day to thank Ran for allowing me to participate in the DG, and to thank others for the great insights they share with the rest of us. It's rather remarkable to me that architechts like Mike DeVries, Tom Doak, Lester George, Jeff Brauer, Mike Young, Mike Nuzzo and others I'm forgetting, who actually compete with one another for business in the real world, are willing to discuss various issues and to provide us with their (mostly) unvarnished opinions about courses and designs. The same is true of other DG participants who do other kinds of golf-related work, whether it's working as golf professionals, superintendents, writers, or managers of courses or resorts. I have learned a ton from all of your insights, so thank you.
