I live in DC, but can't make it next week.  Also would be happy to host when the weather gets nicer -- if folks would be ok with a well-conditioned but over-treed Arthur Hills renovation!

Manor?

Jeb, when I read this my thought was, "Thanks, Carl, that really narrows it down."

That was the point!

I had no idea Arthur Hills worked on all of these. Guess I need to get out more  ;)

It seems like we won't have a quorum for 3/7.

How about March 20 or 21?  State your preference.

Art got the work at Chevy Chase Club becasue he was already in town working on Bethesda.  One of our lead Members talked with those in charge at BCC then called Art and talked with him.  That was it.  It started out as just a visit and evaluation but quickly went to a full Master Plan and ultimately a complete renovation.  Mr. Hills got into the D.C. market at just the right time and nearly cornered the market on renovation / restorations.  He also got to build a few new courses.  Whatever you think about his work you must give credit for his ability to saturate the area.  I have to believe that this is a unique occurance and you would be hard pressed to find an equivalent situation with another Architect in a large metropolitan area.  I think the work at Chevy Chase was a bit different in that I don't think you can be on that course and see anything that screams Arthur Hills.

Sean:
Agreed about Chevy Chase (though I've only played it post-renovation), and that also seems true about a lot of his work here -- i.e., that his "renovations/restorations" to existing courses have been better received than his original work.

Either date - 3/20 or 3/21 - works for me as well.  Looking forward to it.

50-50 for me. I may have a school match depending on whether I make the roster.

Well... it seems we won't have a quorum Monday. My travel plans have changed yet again so maybe try March 21st?

I believe Hills also did the renovation of Belle Haven in Alexandria and also did work at Woodmont.  It did seem to me that there was often a common characteristic in the greens with 3 distinct pin locations and flat bottom bunkers.
