Kyle,
Are you too having a case of some selective reading?
Go back and read what I've been writing--this time more carefully. I think I've made a pretty good statement regarding the DVD's worth. If Jay doesn't want to buy the DVD, that's his right. But don't critique it negatively when its worth is a great value to others. And that's where I've proved my point time and time again on this thread.
I don't want to come off negatively here, and this isn't an attack, but more of a reason why recordings of these architects are important, and most entertaining. Regardless of what Jay may or may not think its true value is. Jay on countless occasions makes inaccurate statements regarding clasic golf architects. If he had a video--maybe he would learn something from hearing it for himself? This way he could....ahhhhemmm...write the more accurate details.
(I could go into the Biarritz green stuff at Yale #17 for example. Jay threatened to sue and contact employers on the that one.)
Go read more carefully Joe Hancock's post regarding a profit in this--there is no BIG money to be made--this DVD isn't
Batman--The Dark Knight like Jay thinks it is. The cost to make the video; the crew, everything is more of a money loser if not a high priced gamble, and the producers probably knew that but wanted to do it anyway just so they could have it on tape. For me, once again--its all well worth it.
If Jay wants to actually critique this, have him discuss what he doesn't like so about the video, the angles, the music; the lack of content so then he can display his true discourse. But honestly his is a shoot-from-the-hip "don't buy it because its too expensive" critique that has little merit or accord for the trouble that went into producing it. You know, I've been accused many times about shooting-from-the-hip on this website, but at least I can back it up why. Instead he has to rely on Tom being coy that he doesn't like being in front of a camera for four hours!
Mr. Doak, we are ready for your close-up!
