A girl and a guy fall in love and then both of them die.

Oh, wait - that's a synopsis for Romeo and Juliet.

Sorry - wrong thread.

Michael:

You think it’s funny but I think it’s true. If someone did not give Tom MacWood a brief synopsis of Merion and its history he would have virtually no idea what it was about. How would he never having been to it or knowing no one there?  Does one really have any idea never having been there and just reading newspaper accounts about the place?  ;)

I don’t think so.

The same is true of Pine Valley, Myopia and North Shore---other clubs and courses he claims to be some kind of architectural expert about even if he has never been to any of them and knows no one at any of them!

Go figure but I doubt you need to go that far to figure out MacWood! ;)

Synopsis - Whatever happened back then obviously worked because Merion East is one of the world's very finest golf courses.

I won't give you a synopsis of the thread, but I will provide for you a neat web page I created a couple of years ago that documents the first three US Am's at Merion, as seen by three Philly area papers.  I have called it "MerionWeb", and it is here:

And I suppose you're gonna claim that Shakespeare wrote it?

That's a laugh. How could a guy as young and inexperienced as Shakespeare have written "Romeo and Juliet"?

"Love's Labours Lostt," followed by "Romeo and Julie?t Seems bloodly unlikely to me!

Dan,

Exactly.

What the hell did Shakespeare ever do before Venus and Adonis anyway?   Do you think they would have actually commissioned him to write that in 1593 without a single critically acclaimed work his credit?

By the way Dan...

I did receive your package in the mail.   I remain hungry from viewing the contents.

Golf history can be quite interesting if you just let your favorite legends go and allow the truth to take you where it will.
