I think John's analysis and suggestions are correct. We do this on a limited scale based on what our golfers are willing to pay for. Our focus is affordable golf. We do what we do with that in mind. I'm neither proud or embarrassed by it given that our golfers don't really know the difference based on their experience. We provide a fun course and game, which is what they require, and don't do much more than that given that our soils and bones are better than most. We do OK rather than superb as a result. Could we do better? Of course. But my delusions of grandeur of creating a golfing masterpiece have been eroded by the hard knocks of operating a course that is fun to play and makes a few bucks. That's hard enough. I admire and support those dreamers who want to promote a greater vision of what golf can be, as I have, but remind them its a simple game among friends, played outdoors, in nature, in the elements, for fun. We could do this on a goat ranch.
