Just heard that Phil Young has accepted an invitation to participate in a radio interview and debate with Matt Ginella of Golf Digest on who really designed Bethpage Black. 

If anyone is interested, the time and place is tomorrow morning on Anthony Scorcia's golf show on WGBB Long Island 1240 on the AM dial.

It is on from 8-9 am. You can tune in by means of the internet on their homepage at

Debate?  ::)
This is why The Golf Channel can't put on an architecture show. :)

Rick,

Is Matt G a disciple of Ron Whitten?

Steve,

I cannot answer that question... :-X

May I say this though...the Dark Lord of the Sith, known to us as Darth Vader, will Not Be Happy with anything less than Young's head delivered to the Emperor's Death Star on a plate.  :'(

Turned it on at 8 am.  The gospel preacher with the previous show was running long!

A brief summary would be much appreciated.
Big drivers and hot balls are the product of golf course design that rewards the hit one far then hit one high strategy.  Shinny showed everyone how to take care of this whole technology dilemma. - Pat Brockwell, 6/24/04

Tillie designed Bethpage Black :)

Honestly, Phil gave great evidence by using Tillie's other courses' features as a pointer to similar features at BB.  He was amazingly good, using courses that few outside this website would know about (I know I sure didn't know about some of them).

Wonderful job, Phil!

Now that Jedi Phil has beaten the apprentice, when can we expect him to take on Emperor Whitten?
