"Tiger is apparently a golf course architect trying to launch new projects around the world, yet he knows nothing about the most critically acclaimed golf course built in the UK in the last couple of years. The more I hear from Tiger now, the less I like him."
John Lyon -
In case you had forgotten, Tiger has had a few more important things on his mind over the past 12-15 months than keeping tabs on what golf courses have opened around the world! (winking, smiling face if I knew how to post one!)
My guess is the majority of the "celebrity pros" fronting GCA-shops (Nicklaus, Palmer, Player, Faldo, Kite, etc.) know little if anything about Castle Stuart either.
If you recall, someone posted here that Jack Nicklaus was asked what he thought about Sand Hills, which he surely must have visited given all the time he spent at Dismal River, given how widely acclaimed Sand Hills was as one of the best new courses built in the U.S. in the past and given how close Dismal River is to Sand Hills. Nicklaus responded that he was pretty busy and could not manage the time to go see Sand Hills. If he really cared, don't you think he would have made the time?
Heck, I doubt Tiger even knows who Melvyn Hunter Murrow is, which is truly remarkable given MHM's sterling "golfing pedigree!"
