Having just read "To the Nines" by Anthony Pioppi with the wind blowing at 25 degrees facing north, and awaiting my Tuesday flight back to Florida, if we get out of Philly.
This is a great book. It may be the answer for the future rebuilding the game with fewer holes to maintain, and a shorter time to get around the course of play, and back to home with the family.
My best to you and yours, with golf on my mind.
