My issue of Links hasn't arrived on the frozen tundra yet, as it comes in by dog sled. So, I'll reserve judgement of the article content and spirit in which it is written until I read the whole thing. However, as one who now has had the distinct and unique pleasure of spending time playing golf - evaluating courses built and in consturction (Barona Creek, Riviera, Rustic Canyon); dining and benefiting from the generous hospitality with the great one; I would have to say that outrageous is not the right word - although "passionate and opinionated" maybe. Drunk is not the right word; diet coke addict or wine connoisuer - maybe. Penniless perhaps, but an man of many riches and great worth...My wife subscribes to all of the above and finds the man charming to boot! Which worries me in the same manner as it would if he were "the good Dr.", Alister MacKenzie his own rogue self...
