Jaeger,
Pine Valley wasn't the product of a collaboration.
Crump figured out most of the design and sought input from independent architects who stopped by and offered their thoughts.
Colt, Tillinghast and others were consulted with, but, in no manner, shape or form was Pine Valley designed in a collaborative effort.
Tom Doak,
I understand the value of imput from knowledgeable, dedicated associates.
It can certainly add to the quality of the finished product.
But, someone has to decide what ideas are discarded and what ideas are implemented.
And, that someone is YOU.
YOU and YOU alone are responsible for the artistry that goes into producing a playable golf course.
Jaeger's concept was along the lines of a formal committee, collaborating to formulate a design.
While their might be some tangential benefits, compromise often dilutes and mutes the creative process.
I never saw a statue commemorating a committee.
There always seems to be a single guy, riding his trusty mount.
