I haven’t posted much over the last couple of years but certainly many different topics have tempted me to get back on GCA.com
1. How ridiculously good did LACC look this summer during the event (Curtis Cup) held there??? I think it’s so amazing the job Hanse et al did, they truly restored a gem. A unique gem at that methinks, LACC must have one of the the most schizophrenic routings in the history of GCA. Incredible. I am totally jazzed for the PGA event coming there in a few years, I think it’s a major!!!
2. What say the Treehouse regarding Alotian Club? I see it rated pretty high in some fish wraps. As more and more images come available it appears quite spectacular. For one, the views from elevated tees are tremendous. The issue I often have with hugely, ackwardly elevated tees is the propensity for lost balls is increased. But Alotian Club seems DAMN big. Massive. Shatloads of turf. Net sum of all parts? Seems like a new pinnacle of cart ball! Rob Rigg is pissed!
3. Did I see a picture of Huckaby in the thread about Wolf Point? That’s tremendous!!!
4. Anyone care to comment on Tiger Woods first design?

5. Is there going to be a 4th course at Streamsong?

6. With Doak, C&C, Kidd and Hanse mostly dominating the designs at Bandon, Cabot, Barnbougle, Streamsong and Sand Valley, will Mike Keiser PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE see if he can get Pete Dye to step up and throw down at one of these mega resorts. Just 18 holes for us to enjoy? I think it would be a masterful move.
7. Will Rory ever win another major again? I legitimately feel with the arrival of Spieth and Thomas on the scene, he might not.
8. Does anyone have any images to share of the tree work they’ve done at Pine Valley?
9. As a big fan of Tom Doak, what am I missing about his Saint Emilion course? I’ve been drinking a lot of Burgundy the last couple years and am struggling to see the genius.
10. Did Trump actually improve Turnberry? From what I’ve seen I’d say yes. What say the Treehouse?
