Maybe it’s my working class roots showing, but give me Old Money (like England-old money), a shabby clubhouse, an (un-restored) Doak 6, and a membership that doesn’t give two hoots what *anyone* thinks of their club every single time.

Great quote. I'm envisioning Rye GC on a Sat afternoon.  Although Rye is probably closer to a Doak 9.

Olympic had the same type of person. In the end he wrecked the course, most of the members hated the course, he was fired and now they don't know what to do?


I suspect Gil will build something everyone can enjoy.
