Re: Golf Course Architecture is so much like Archaeology

MM,
What you are forgetting is that there are 7 or 8 times more golf courses in the US than in the UK. We have wonderful, lightly maintained, very earthy, challenging courses right on up to the full-blown cart tracks that you so despise.

We have courses that play firm and fast and courses that play soggy. We have something like 12 weather zones, you have 2 or 3.
 
We have courses that are being recognized ( and well ranked) not only for their wonderful architecture, but because their gearing themselves to play as neatly as the best seaside courses in your neck of the woods.

We have courses where the culture is mostly walking, we have courses where most players ride.

We have 26 million different souls playing the game in this country, of course it's going to evolve with some aberrations (if you were an archaeologist you'd see that in your digs).

We have the world's largest golf business in this country and it may encompass much that you dislike, but we also have a golf culture that prefers something else. The former is more prevalent, the latter has an ever increasing number of players joining it every year and that's mainly due to the incredibly good information networks that exist here.

So Mel, you keep plugging away, and if you ever understand that you can attract more bees with honey you'll end up doing more good in the long run.

Smooth move Melvyn.  Who's missing the two-pack of Titleist's now?  :P

Jim

You totally misunderstood what I said and think its all about America. I am sorry to advise you that the world is much larger than your country.

I have no comments on America, my only interest on GCA.com is Golf.

I deleted my topic because your post totally missed the point and I am not going to waste my time with you.

So well done, total censorship at the stroke of a keyboard, first step to world domination.

Melvyn, I don't know what the first post said, but Jim's response is so interesting, I hope you put it back up. Cheers!

Melyvn,
Just a reminder, those cameras you see on every lamp post and rooftop in your hometown ARE  looking at you.  ::)
