Margaret C,
It's difficult to ascertain rgkeller's perspective until it is identified, so I'm puzzled as to how you didn't overlook it, when you didn't know what it might have been, until it was identified.
I merely supplied some information and rendered my opinion on where his perspective might be.
Neither did I comment on the merits of either opinion, his or yours.
But, I have noticed, in a good number of threads, that the players who must compete on the golf courses we discuss, rarely have their perspectives put forth.
All too often, spectators put themselves and their views in the position of participants and their views.
It's refreshing to hear from a competitor's viewpoint, one who has the task of negotiating the architecture and course set up, rather than those who are confined to viewing the architecture and setup from outside of the ropes.
In the ultimate, golf courses are designed and built to be played on, and I enjoy hearing the viewpoints of those who play those courses during competitions.
rgkeller plays at a golf course known for its very wide fairways and extremely deep and difficult rough, so it was interesting to learn his perspective relative to Oakmont's setup.
