Great or successful?

“if the prettiest tree in a forest of pretty trees falls down, how do we know it was the prettiest ? And how many more trees do I need to cut down to get a Doak 9 ?”

A lovely blog post. And the end is the clincher:

-Tasmanian Feel
-Tasmanian Values
-Showcase the Tasmanian Landscape

Hard to deal in absolutes, but for a good majority of destination courses, I think you could substitute 'Tasmanian' for the local name of where the course is being built, and you'd be off to a strong start. For example, for the new Cabot St Lucia, I would hope the course would highlight the St Lucian landscape, the vibe and feel of the island life, and embody the values of what makes the place different to anywhere else. That's what will keep it from blurring in with the other 'great' modern builds, and give it something it can own and be proud of.

This 7MB video appeared on my YouTube feed.

Made 5 months ago and a sponsored travel piece but having visited the site myself a little while ago it’s still indicative of the wonderful location and various aspects of the course.

Enjoy - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pkHG_JCeDNg

The course as seen in the video piece is much more green and grown-in than when I visited during a very parched and dry March.
Gonna be a bit special.

It looks like King Collins will be designing the second course at 7 Mile Beach.
