is Pasatiempo also sandy?   


No, it's not.




I have little doubt his design concept for ANGC had much to do with anything other than budget.





Actually I think it had a lot to do with Bobby Jones' wishes, although MacKenzie was also doing his public course at Bayside in NY about the same time.

Well, we know the club struggled initially, so maybe the light bulb went on in Jones' mind first.  I don't know, but we all know gca is marketing, and Mac would never say "it cost too much money."  He would use the Pete Dye mantra of never admitting you are wrong, and its just the way you wanted it, which often leads to a more pleasing cover story.


That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Jeff curious what you mean in reference to PD. An inside joke by those in the industry?
