Two cheap Confidential Guides
« on: August 02, 2010, 09:52:40 PM »
...here...http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=the+confidential+guide+to+golf+courses&x=0&y=0

I guess $300 is cheap, considering the $1600 & $1800 ones at the end of the page.

its all relative, I suppose.

I think I'll follow George Pazin's advice and interlibrary loan that sucker.

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

I was reading a friend's copy and was amazed at how few of Tom's comments fall under the heading of incendiary.  You could probably come up with no more than ten of the "this course is a disaster" ilk.  The two that stand out are his disdain for Jack's blowing up of St. Andrews Golf Club in New York and most anything Desmond Muirhead created.

Jason,

My name is not George Pazin! :D

And I am not as good looking as he is.

Nor am I as diplomatic. Do you think someone as diplomatic as George would write something as undiplomatic as try interlibrary loan! DUH!

They're just teasing each other, Ron. I think Garland did recommend the interlibrary loan, and JC simply mistook one geek for another. And JC of course likes to joke around, as do many of us. :)

My advice for anyone is to simply find a fellow GCAer who has one and ask nicely. Mine travels all over, currently is hanging out in north Jersey. He travels more than I do...

Big drivers and hot balls are the product of golf course design that rewards the hit one far then hit one high strategy.  Shinny showed everyone how to take care of this whole technology dilemma. - Pat Brockwell, 6/24/04

Has anyone ever heard of any libraries that have the Confidential Guide in circulation?

There was a thread on that a while back. Many libraries do, or so it would seem from the thread.
