And I got to eat some good Georgia grits for breakfast! Hmmm---yuck!

Tom - Grits are corn. How do you eat your corn? Salt? Pepper? Butter? The same with grits. You folks up North call it polenta... but, it's grits.

And it's GOOD!!!

Longshadow is one of those courses that sends you home thinking about the strategy you will employ the next time you play there. Not enough courses do that these days.

How's the water situation at Longshadow. A while back they were restricted to just watering the greens enough to keep them alive, with no water for the fairways. I assume that has changed?

Michael Whitaker:

They are? I didn't know that! I love corn, always have. Well, shit man, why did you wait until now to tell me grits were corn? You shoulda told me that about 50-60 years ago! If you had I have no doubt I coulda made grits a staple of the yankees too.

The 6th is so much better short.  That green is perfect for a par 3.7 or 5.4 but loses its greatness as a par 4.  I hope this serves as a great reminder to all that in a very short period of time, the architect's intent can be lost by poor management decisions.  It is a shame that, at times, folks project it toward the archy.
