Title: GolfWorld (May 4, 2009 issue) Editorial
Post by: Dan Herrmann on May 02, 2009, 10:55:01 AM

Did you happen to see the May 4 GolfWorld editorial?  It was written in response to criticism of the '09 Golf Digest course rankings.    golfclubatlas.com was mentioned in the first paragraph as a place where folks disagreed with the rankings.

It went on to say that the public can vote on golf club "facilities" if they want to be heard.  At the present time, the 'Mink is the #1 private in that poll.

I wanted to note this because I think it shows that many outside the Treehouse are lurking and hopefully enjoying/learning from our discussions.  Personally, I think it's pretty neat.

Aronimink in Newtown Square, PA

I'd vote for Saucon Valley- 3 really good courses, neat clubhouse and facilities.

"the 'Mink is the #1 private in that poll..."

Well that certainly proves that 90% of all sales of Golf World are in the area surrounding the city of "brotherly love."  ;D
