Mark B's "recent" thread re: RM (Composite) and the contributions therein are a classic example of why I enjoy the GCA discussion group.

I also just have to visit Painswick next time I'm visiting family in the UK. Can't say I "appreciate it more" as I obviously haven't seen it  first hand - but the photo's and text of it in here have led me to do something I never would have contemplated otherwise.

Lincoln Park,
Jans National,
Lake Chabot 9 holer.

Just about any ratty, worn down, ill-maintained course that is full of quirk, unusual holes, and general uniquness despite its bad genes...

cough..cough...err...emm...excuse me young man??

Aren't we forgetting something?

Umm, ummm,

It's still amazing that so many people outside of Chicago know and site the Jans. 
H.P.S.

What: You proposed to your current wife?  You voluntarily paid taxes?  You bought a Prius?  You voted in the general election?  You bought a porno mag?  What?

I am still enrolled (as a matriculating student) in the Rihc Goodale School of Fine Architecture Appreciation.  Revisiting Painswick until I admit that it is the greatest course this side of the Channel (Rihc hasn't decided which channel) is a graduation requirement.  I Only ask that it be in the summer months and and on a fine day!  BTW - playing sandies at Painswick is a mandatory bet.

I think every round of golf is a little richer because of GCA. However Painswick and Lawsonia would never have seen my smiling face without GCA.
