Unfortunately, in my opinion, GC's Architecture Week has become a thinly veiled (and perhaps not even thinly veiled) marketing campaign for a select few resorts/destinations and modern architects. I'd much prefer a true debate and discussion of history and a chance to see the work of some lesser known architects as well as the big names. I'd also like to hear more substantive discussion of the interplay between architecture and greenskeeping/turf maintenance. Instead, it seems to focus way too much on shilling from Matt Ginella for 2-3 select and prominent destinations.

Although nearly everything on Golf Channel is just some sort of advertising. Every single one of Ginella's stupid travel segments are one giant commercial. I'm as excited as anyone for Sand Valley, but all of the canned shots, fly by shots, and idolization of the Kaisers makes me want to puke.
What happened to the Jones brothers? Did the reunion get scrapped at the last minute due to old wounds?
