Progress?

[Jon Wiggett]

Mike,

I am not sure the choice of sites is so black and white as you put it. I think ODGs often had sub quality plots to work with but that golfers were more open to blind and semi blind shots as well as not expecting a new course to be like a mature course.

Jon,
There were some bad sites and some bad courses but IMHO there really was o fairway shaping until the 70's and forward.  Everything before that was usually minimal...
