Hello All,
My name is Mark Saltzman and after years of reading the boards on GCA, I am excited to begin contributing. I am a stock trader from Toronto, Canada, a 2 index and a proud new GW rater (does that mean I have people who don't like me already?).
I am a member at Bigwin Island GC (Lake of Bays, Canada), National Pines GC (Barrie, Canada) and the CC at Mirasol (Palm Beach Gardens, FL).
Seems like the thing to do is to list my top 25 played (in no particular order), so here goes:
Merion
Oakmont
Victoria National
Pete Dye GC
Harbour Town
Pasatiempo
Sea Island (Seaside)
Kiawah (Ocean)
Wolf Run (Indiana)
Cascata
Bethpage (Black)
Bandon Dunes
Pacific Dunes
Walton Heath (Old)
Sunningdale (Old)
North Berwick
TOC
Carnoustie
Royal Aberdeen
Old Head
RCD
Waterville
Lahinch
PGA Catalunya (Spain)
Barona Creek
Pebble
Bigwin Island (my home course)
...and I must admit I played these courses before I developed any interest in course architecture, but when I played them, I just didn't get why they were considered to be so great (a few more CGA'ers likely won't like me now)...
Aronimink GC
Medinah (No. 3)
Cataraqui GC (Kingston, Canada)
Valderrama
Anyways,
Hello All!
