[JNC Lyon]

We'll give Kalen some William Harries designs from western New York...guaranteed to convince anyone to give up golf!

Westwood CC.  Front nine = world's most flat golf course.

[Tim Bert]

I sent auto picks to Jim but will post since I am here.

Rees Jones

MPCC Dunes
Pinehurst 7
Reynolds Plantation

my understanding is that Rees did significant enough renovation at MPCC to receive some design credit there. If that is not the case I will switch my pick to Raynor but you will all suffer as I will have to go throug the tedious task of reviewing all of the Raynor courses previously selected before making my decision on the other two courses.

Team 10 & 8 Yo' Ass

Rd. 1 - Thompson - Highlands Links, St George's, Banff Springs
Rd. 2 - Thomas - Riviera, LACC - North, Bel Air
Rd. 3 - Hanse - Castle Stuart, Rustic Canyon, Boston Golf Club
Rd. 4 - Hackett - Carne, Eniscrone, Waterville
Rd. 5 - C&C - Dormie Club, We Ko Pa Saguaro, Chechessee
Rd. 6 - Braid - Brora, Nairn, Deal
Rd. 7 - Whitman - Cabot Links, Sagebrush, Blackhawk
Rd. 8 - Ruddy - The European Club, Rosapenna (Sandy Hills), Ballyliffin (Glashedy)

Considering 42 courses were off the list when I got my first pick I'm stoked with my diverse and groovy list. There are a few great golf trips here. Still bummed that TBert, Dell and Mr Miller snagged some of my babies before I could grab them - good work lads.

[Mac Plumart]

8 rounds is good for me as well.  I've got to get a move on to be able to actually play all of my new courses before the year is over!!!

In all seriousness, I've got my round 8 picks...but I've got to leave in about 15 minutes. 

I'll wait that long and then post...I know this is out of turn, but I think it keeps things moving better then sending in autopicks to someone who may or may not be availble to post them at the appropriate time.

Anyway, if someone objects...simply let me know and I will avoid doing this...but since we are not playing for anything, or at least any money, I don't see the harm.

Nevertheless, let me know if you object.

Good job Rob! May I be your friend? Shall we head to Ireland first, or Canada?

Mac - you just stole my last picks! Jay Moorish was going to be sleeper of the century with the 2nd to last pick of the draft! I like your style!

[Jay Flemma]

Jaeger, I respectfully dissent.  I have a much better sleeper than that!

[Jaeger Kovich]

I wait patiently!

[Garland Bayley]

Mac - you just stole my last picks! Jay Moorish was going to be sleeper of the century with the 2nd to last pick of the draft! I like your style!

To think that one of the 31 flavors made it this far is surprising. Anyone know if you covered the other 30 flavors.

Ummm...Did Lester re-design the old white?  I thought restorations don't count and that Old White would still be  raynor?

my pix in a minute...

[JC Jones]

Ummm...Did Lester re-design the old white?  I thought restorations don't count and that Old White would still be  raynor?

my pix in a minute...

Are we giving Sunningdale to Colt?  Palmetto to Mackenzie?

[Alex Miller]

I'll take...

Robin Nelson: Wind Valley golf club (private course), Kau Sai Chau, and Mangilao


I'm exhausted

[Jay Flemma]

Actually I find both of those odd too.  I'm afraid I'll have to call you on it.  Old White is NOT a Lester George design...it's a Lester George restoration.  I think you should try again...  Maybe Rock Manor or provincetown or something...

I wanted those Axland and Proctors, but maybe I can work a trade for one of them...
