Three putt,
I too think Friar's Head will be something special, but not just in the golf course, in the practice range and short course as well. It represents to me, the most complete, quality facility I've ever seen, with nary a detail left out.
I hope, unlike many clubs, that control, and the decision making process remains vested as it is.
With respect to Atlantic, how would you compare the two raw land sites ?
And, how would you compare the environmental constraints, or lack of constraints effecting the design of both golf courses?
With the wonderful fall, winter and spring, Friar's Head should look great, I'm anxious to see and play it in finished form, especially on a windy day.
