Not sure what you can take from this, but it's an audio of Hackett...

Hi Jack, thank you for this.  Hope I'm that fit and clear at 86.  Didn’t he go on to St Patrick’s after that?


I've only played a few of his courses (all now with changes) and I like the routings, he gives that sense of a journey.  However what I take to be original greens seem to me uniformly flat and simple.  Is this a fair comment?
Let's make GCA grate again!

Hi Tony. I'm not sure if he designed St Patrick's before, and it was built after? I don't know, really.

I think the greens in Carne are a bit uninteresting, to be honest. I'm no expert, but they could do with a bit more movement, but not overly so. I think they could make great improvements to the course with some green changes and bunkering...
