Mike:
Who exactly are you talking to?
This is the site that put together an exhaustive list of affordable golf courses.
This is the site that begs for brown, but understands its not possiible everywhere.
This is the site where its a badge of honor to bring up the little town course in butt-fo wherever that cost you $15, ran fast and firm and was a blast to play.
This is the site of Sean Arble's latest UK find, of Joe Baush's Cobb's Creek, of Dan Moore's Spring Valley, of Mac's Rivermont, of RJ Daley's Wild Horse, of my Shepherd's Crook and yes, of Jeff Warne's Goat Hill.
This is the site where we talk about golf, about golf architecture and about the good and the bad of the game, instead of mindlessly just playing it. I won't go as far as to say we're all enlightened, but I think we would like to be.
With all due respect, there's a lot more reverence to the concept than you allow for in your last post. And if your problem is that we talk about the same handful of courses, I don't think there's anything wrong with using a few prime examples to emphasize a broader point. We're more likely to understand an analogy using a well discussed course than one that only a handful of us have seen.
So instead of complaining we don't know anything, why don't you stop telling us how ignorant we are and start trying to teach us. I think you'll find that we're probably all closer to being on the same page than you think.
