Melvyn,
Perhaps you ought to ask Ulrich to clarify his position, without coming across like an ass.
Does it have to do with it being a different era?
While I type you've probably already edited your comments, but show me please where Melvyn is being an ass. I just don't see it and I don't believe Ulrich took it as such.
"I was not aware Old Tom Morris wasn't a player".......Melvyn writes.
This coming from a man who is related to Old Tom.
That's what I call snarky....smart assed....
Keep your head buried in the sand, Eric, if you wish, but NOBODY......don't NOBODY ever say anything about Old Tom Morris without clearing it with Melvyn first.
Because Melvyn is the authority on Old Tom, and how golf OUGHT to be...
You didn't seem to have a problem with snarky....smart assed comments in your post to Chris Johnston on the Dismal thread this morning -- so why the bile here? Surely you don't think we've forgotten how you feel about Mr. Morrow.
Okay Eric Smith.....now you've got my attention.
I don't find anything about what I said on the Dismal River thread to be snarky. It was the truth, and sometimes that hurts.
I think Chris Johnston got on the soapbox that is Jack Nicklaus design and spewed corporate schtick.
My problem with that is this isn't the place for it, or at least it didn't use to be. There have been enough instances cited over the years that have me firmly convinced Jack isn't the type of designer who "digs in deep." He doesn't spend a ton of time in the field, he doesn't visit nearby golf courses to see what they are up to.
His associates might......but then call it like it is I say!
But I digress. My point is, spare us that kinda talk around here, will ya Chris Johnston, it's insulting to our intelligence and it's not something we are interested in hearing. I get all I can handle of that sorta stuff from Golf, Golf Digest, The Golf Channel and innumerable fish wraps selling housing, balls, clubs, golf memberships, etc...
