Ok, details are as follows:
The afternoon of the 21st March at Villanova will begin at 1 PM, and lunch will be provided (more than likely catered by my wife).
There will be four presentations, each 30 min max in length and leaving time for questions. The speakers and their topics are as follows:
Ian Larson: the restoration of Culver Academy (Indiana) and sustainable golf in combination with GPS mapping.
Ron Prichard: compare and contrast early vs late Ross designs, and proper bunker construction
Jim Nagle: what makes a good golf hole, using examples from six courses he's been involved with over the years (CC of York, Lebanon Valley, Concord, Bedford Springs, Tavistock, and Northampton) that somewhat fly under the radar.
Lester George: a case study on pace of play using the Independence Golf Club.
This is a very interesting (sorry Peter P!) line-up of presentations.
I anticipate the official proceedings winding down late afternoon, then those that are interested can join me for further discussion and some libation of choice at Susanna Foo's just down the street in Radnor.
Let me know on this thread or by an e-mail if you will be attending. There will be a modest fee to cover lunch expenses.
