Del Paso CC-Fowler? Soon to be redone?
Jeff Goldman:
Tommy or somebody,
I have read the comments about M. not agreeing with Fowler's principles but respecting him etc., as well as others here talking about the spirit of Fowler, but can anybody tell me what those principles were? I.e., What kind of courses did he build?

SPDB,
I fear that the "concept" of what is transpiring is escaping your grasp.
If a club is about to embark on what Kevin Keeley quoted as a
$ 10,000,000 project, and if that project will plow under 14 of the 18 holes, is it safe to say that the core and soul of the golf course is being destroyed ??
A simple YES or NO will do.
Consciously or subconsciously you've adopted a defensive position related to Merion, because to agree with us regarding Del Paso, would force you to agree with the likes of Mr Naccarato when it comes to Merion.
Hence, I understand your resistance and reluctance to see the heart of the problem.
Mike Hendren quoted something I wrote, perhaps you should re-read that quote in the context of Del Paso and Merion, there is a common denominator.
SPDB:
Pat - You've truly lost touch with reality.
If I have taken the same view of Del Paso as I did of Merion, it is because I am a sucker for consistency, a concept that seems totally lost on you (e.g. I'm totally unfamiliar/I have all the facts).
Why are you referring me to Mike's post, when it only quotes a post that appears right above it? Flattery? Self-importance?
You and I are talking about two different things. I'm not talking about the substance of Del Paso's project, so I don't know why you keep asking me about it.
Patrick_Mucci:
SPDB,
For a brignt guy, you're either in denial or just not grasping the issue at Del Paso.
Could you answer the question I posed above, it's very basic and only requires a YES or NO answer.
Thanks.
P.S. I still owe you dinner for our Merion bet,
the question is, will you collect before you lose
The Creek bet on the 5th hole skyline green, especially
now that the winds have blown the leaves off of all of
the trees ? ;D
SPDB:
Pat - If you read my post #78, you'll see that you and I are talking about two different things. I'm not going to get into a discussion about the merits of the project at Del Paso when I know so little about it.
I question whether you even read my posts before you respond to them. ???
Pat - with the windstorm of the past week, the 5th at the Creek may now be a skyline green. I've given you aerials, which are all you need to determine line of sight. What do I get when I win?
