Who said this about which course?

"It kind of looked like there was this beautiful piece of property, and there were some holes that were just like, 'Let's just get it in there.' . . . Maybe they didn't spend enough money moving earth initially.  You just never know."

So much interest in this!

The same person also said, about the same course, "It just looks more finished. . . . What a beautiful display this is right here on 18, and before I don't think it had that charm, that polished look."

Like, um, Bernard Darwin?

Not.

But I have no idea of the answer.  I hope it was someone speaking on TV, and not actually writing it down that way.  Somebody talking about Old White at The Greenbrier?

No correct guesses yet. 

Last quote from the same person about the same course:

"There's more than a few players that played here [before] that will think, 'Well, we don't want to go back there,' . . . But there's a whole younger generation that never knew [the course before], and they might come back and say, 'Wow, what a great course.'"
