Geek Culture and Golf Course Architecture

[MCirba]

Cirba, that whole story you just created is about as believable as the McKenzie drawings that emerged a few years back.  This feels like a deep fake created by a tech consultant, who will soon claim this is the origins of Top Golf.

Mike,


Let's get Bausch and Frey and go play the mythical Kieffer Masterpiece.


I've been to the top of the Harris Hill mountaintop and I've actually seen the promised land with my own two eyes!


Ira,


Now that you mention it the resemblance is startling.

My geek meter runs high for weird architecture. So I guess seeing courses is more important than the history. I used to be much more into history, but that itch has been slowly fading. I reckon a veteran 7 is about right.

There was a time I was in the 8 or maybe 9 range for this.  But in the last few years, I've cooled to a five, but if a conversation about golf ever pops up, I right there to talk about the GCA.  It doesn't happen too often, but when it does I geek out.

So an 8 or 9 in polite company then.

Charlie,

I think a plausible argument could be made that the best thing about GCA events is the chit chat and breaking bread together with like minds even more-so than the actual playing of golf. Or maybe that's just me cause i'm a high cap.
