Notable Courses 1994-99
« on: May 12, 2015, 07:52:56 PM »
Hello,

I seem to have a black hole in my usually chapter and verse memory about certain things, and that is occurring right now as I ponder:

WHAT NOTED COURSES...GOOD, BAD, UNIQUE, LAUGHABLE...WERE MADE IN THE YEARS 1994-99?

What were the major works of this period? It seems like a strange crossover time, when the current tides were fomenting but some ridiculously overblown, overexpensive projects were outdoing one another...but what were they?

cheers

The only way of really finding out a man's true character is to play golf with him. In no other walk of life does the cloven hoof so quickly display itself.
