I've always felt gca would move on in some form or another. Once you've seen ten CC minimalist style courses, why see 11? Same is true of my work, Faz, you name it.
You see it in Gil's work, I think, edging away from true restorations to incorporate their best principles in a new way. And, I think I see it here in the photos. Again, it's the 5th or 6th course in the region and it has to be unique somehow, which I think they are doing. A little Doak, a little CC, even some Jim Engh muscle bunkers in there to create something pretty unique.
