A number of years ago, when I was on a circuit through the architects, one design house said they had 120+ courses "on the drawing board"   :o

You think maybe they were yanking my chain a little? ::)

This philosophy would have it that the optimal number is however many will fit into your bank account.

One architect claimed to have 74 projects in certain phases of development...then stated it was too many...but by how many would have been the question I'd have asked if I were a journalist present.

It seems the golf press (except for a couple journalists) believe more projects, even scores of projects, being on the run, designing courses at 30,000 feet is an indication of being a quality architect.

Some analytical journalism...

Tony,

After my discussions of the past week, it looks as though we will be doing those 4-5 courses in 2003.  Maybe time will prove you right; but don't bet against us, because we have some spectacular properties lined up to work on!

Tom Doak,

Care to clue us in yet on where they are?  Do the 4-5 include the ones in Texas and Oz?

Tom...I won't be betting against you guys.  I hope you keep producing and elevating standards.  As I stated earlier you can attract quality help with ease today and you're most likely getting more offers and are able to select the properties which excite...the benefit of focusing earlier.  

I'd also guess you kept your mind busy war-gaming those projects in waiting and your hands pretty busy writing during those down periods.  Bad things...I don't think so, though working in the field is infinintely more fun and exciting.

Jim has probably forgot this, couldn't spot me in a police lineup but I was at Cypress floating out greens and tees ten years ago as well as doing other assorted jobs.
