Met Golfer

[Phil Lipper]

For those that live in the Met Section (NYC Tri state area) the Met Golfer this month is entitled The Architecture Issue. It has some good articles in it, a very good article about Lido, and one by Tom Doak about what makes a great green.

I guess not logging on for a few days combined with a slow mailman is not a good combination.

I am shocked at the lack of discussion of this magazine. With that I will start with the cover and ask: What the hell is that? note: Let's go through this page by page, the issue is that good, advertisements included.


Cover: What is it and why does it look like blueprints for a Chinese hotel?

pg 0-1 Kiawah Island. Is Mike Vegis still with the resort? If you could either retire to Charleston or Pinehurst which would you choose?


pg 2-3 Red Ledges. Why or why not?

I liked this from the Doak interview:

"I once told an associate that if he made the green look as different as possible from opposite sides of the fairway, that would be a great start to an interesting hole."

Bob,

Does that eliminate the Raynor templates?

[BCrosby]

Probably not his point. I'd bet what he said was what he meant to say and not something else.


Maybe Tom will chime in and correct us both.
