Ian I've got to ask - who's the bloke in your photo doing the "Vladimir Putin on holiday" impersonation ?  ;D
Niall
That is me. I guess a self portrait of sorts.
Admittedly, it's not the best face I've ever done. ;D

As with other architects, just how much does the list of his best courses differ from the list of his best sites?
Boston is not a great site, too steep in places, very rocky and split by a road.
It's my choice over all of them and I've seen more than most. It's great achievement.
Boston speaks more for his skills than Oohoopie does. Harder project, high quality result.

Tallgrass was my favorite course on Long Island.  If only it could have held on for a few more years until the Covid boom...

When I learned Tallgrass was closing, I headed up to play it in the last week of operation with my golf pal Matt Frey.

Here is how my eyes and camera documented the course:
