Sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled comedy programming, but it's interesting to note how nearly every person at that table has played a major and integral role in improving, and likely turning around, some of our better courses here in the NY-NJ-PA metropolitan areas.
One can merely look at the direction places like Yale GC, Sleepy Hollow CC, Sunningdale CC, Paramount CC, Cobbs Creek GC, Hackensack CC, Ridgewood CC, Vineyard GC, Mountain Ridge CC, Garden City GC, Hollywood GC and Winged Foot have all gone over the last decade and safely attribute much of the progress to folks part of this very motley crew.
I would like to take this space to congratulate everyone there for willing to be an activist in finding and preserving the very best golf possible at their respective venues.
