In another thread Tom mentions that when the market gives mixed reviews for a new course, where some absolutely love the course and others absolutely hate it, signifies that the architect is taking chances. Couldn`t agree more and for me taking chances is usually the results of something new or unconventional. The road less traveled! Not a good idea to do if your trying to break into the market and without a doubt if you already have a strong reputation you can get away with more and be forgiven by some. For the rest of us it`s risky and one must constantly evaluate, when and how much. First, you must be fortunate enough to have the confidence of the clientele to allow your creative juices to come out in your work. There is a time and place for everything in life but there is more involved and lots to consider before coming out of the box and you must be prepared if it`s something new, get ready to be hammered. If it’s well thought out, you may gradually get the acceptance, if not, expect and accept changes! I am told the Eifel tower was built for the world fair and the organizers and powers to be hated it and at one point in time, the decision was made to remove it after the world’s fair! Paris, I believe is the city with the largest quantity of tourism in the world and the first thing that pops in to my mind when I hear the word Paris is the Eifel tower. It will be interesting to evaluate Trinity Forest the new C&C layout in Dallas especially if there is lot of Love/Hate evaluations. The same happened with TPC of Jacksonville the first ten years but I still think it helped Mr. Dye`s legacy. What will the professional say following the first Bryon Nelson and how many changes will be incorporated over the next five to ten years. Can`t wait to see it in February that’s for sure.
