I'll be playing a few Jeff courses this year! We had a brief discussion of Cowboys GC in 2005 that really never discussed the course. I'll also play Giant's Ridge (Quarry and Legend).
Yes, by the way, I did do a search on the site engine. The latest GR thread is here:
http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,36661.0.htmlLets talk some more about Cowboys and Minnesota...or other Jeff courses if you've played them, by way of comparison.
Who are Jeff's influences? What things set a Jeff course apart from the rest of the pack. If someone dropped you in the middle of a Jeff course, how might you identify it.
Jeff, the photo tour of Cowboys and the photo thread of giants seem to indicate they are NOTHING even remotely alike. Coyboys seems - as the cowboys thread indicates - like what Americans normally expect, lots of water, a little bit narrower, flattish fairways, and a mix of hazards. GR seems like it has dramatic undulations and wiiiiiiiiiide open fwys with huge, almost Mackenzie-like bunkers (at least from the pix). How are the greens at each.
What secrets should I be on the lookout for at Cowboys? Giants? Hey! You've Got a "Giants" course and a "Cowboys" course...any chance of rounding out the NFC East with an Eagles or redskins course?

How about my steelers?

Jeff, if "Randy Random" were to walk up to you and say "I can only play five of your courses what do you recommend," what would you say?
I know it's early to make plans, but the Fri-Mon before the PGA at hazeltine, I'll play Big Fish and Giants, so if you wanna tag along...
