Thank you, Adam (and Chris - I'm not on facebook, so your link helped).
I've read a lot about Askernish over the years, but I hadn't seen it until now.
And now I think I understand why so many of you love the place.
My goodness. I'd never have believed it - that a golf course could so beautifully function as a golf course while not looking like a golf course hardly at all.
The game and the architecture 'stripped down' to the barest essentials -- and yet seeming to prove that nothing else is actually necessary.
Funny -- it makes even Ross and Colt seem like fuss-pots and busy-bodies, never knowing when to leave well enough alone!

PS - it's hard not to think/say: given land costs and the environment and sustainability etc, if we want a viable future for golf we'd better start looking back to Askernish.
