Steve,

Thanks for the info, I wonder how much of the book is devoted to the architecture and it's history.

Many club's histories are light when it comes to their architecture.

You may recall that there was a lengthy thread debating Ron Prichard's restoration of Aronominkl, specifically, a debate regarding the original plans versus the "as-built"

Does the club's history delve into that ?

I'm lucky enough to own a copy of Pine Valley: A Unique Haven of the Game with a kind inscription by Mr. Finegan. Can't wait to see the AGC book.
