Bradley:
Provoke him?? I taught him everything he knows about golf architecture. Don't you worry, I'm delighted to see him finally find his head with even NGLA and carry on this way as he's been doing with these threads. When he stumbles and falls I'm always there to pick him up and help him up and steer him back in the right direction. He knows that. I do less of that on these threads these days though because Pat has made good progress even if it's taken over a decade to get through to him. Mostly I just call him up on the phone these days and we talk it over offline and then he's more prepared to face the next day on these threads with some semblance of credibility.
I can't wait to get onto the next hole too----the famous NGLA Redan. For Goodness Sakes, Bradley, I taught Patrick what the traditional "Redan Shot" is. Previous to that he'd been trying to hit a big high fade over the mammoth "Redan" bunker. WRONG!
