Matt  I cannot thank you enough for the incredible photos and descriptions you gave us on Sand Hills. Your effort is truly a work of art for me!  Wonderful photos and descriptions of every hole giving me chills and actual tears streaming down my face near the end of your work! 
I have been very fortunate in my golf life to play many of the very best courses in this country and across the pond, but nothing has ever been seared into my heart like Sand Hills has since those wonderful 3 days in 1997. We arrived on Sunday at noon and walked 36 that afternoon, walked 54 on Monday and only 18 before departing.  What a journey!!!!!!!!!! It forever changed my golf life.  And, we all new that we made a huge mistake by leaving for our homes in Texas and California and not playing until dark. We should have played all day. 
I do know for a fact that many who play there simply do not GET IT!  My group of friends did get it and as we thanked Jim Kidd, head professional, my voice cracked a bit and he told us that {You guys get it).  Sand Hills is much more than just a golf course. It is one of the most incredible pieces of land on this earth and thank the Lord that Bill and Ben were the men who nurtured this magnificent golf course to life. 
I kindly thank you for this post and the amazing thoughtfulness you put into it. I hope we meet someday and even better, at Sand Hills. You have brought alive those incredible days for me and I will always be grateful! After the 13 hour drive home that Tuesday night I got in the shower and cried like a baby. Not much else in this life has made that happen.
Thank you Matt
Chris Sorenson

Reading this post has shaken me to my emotional core. Not even Titantic or Old Yeller has had this type of effect and I’m currently back in bed with a half gallon of Friendly’s Rocky Road and a beach towel to dry my tears. People think golf is just a silly game but in the end it just tears your heart out. First Kylie Kardashian having her baby this week and now this. It’s just too much.
