Chip, if you are at the site next time stop and say hello. I have only met a couple of people face to face who post here. In deed I was on #15 and today I spent time on #17. I have a, somewhat self imposed, gag order on posting regarding the Prairie Club, but I would say this: "JU NIN TO IRO" A Japanese saying that is interpreted as Ten People -- Ten Opinions. There is a tremendous amount to take in at the project and just looking at it may be very different than playing. Also the weaqther conditions will change daily, if not hourly, making the course play differently. Regarding the road - I don't see it as a huge issue. Judging a course by a road that is not even on the property seems a little nit picky to me. I tried to count the cars that I saw today and that was three.
