TEPaul,
Starting tomorrow I'm going to have plenty of time to lie down.
I think those on any committee who are really interested in golf course architecture will have a desire or thirst to learn as much as they can about architecture without being force fed, or led by the hand.
And, I genuinely feel that the blend of conditioning in conjunction with the maintainance meld is by far the most important item that a committee member can focus on.
A green committee studying architecture somehow implies that changes are about to be made, and I find that more than a little scarey.
I do however, firmly believe, that a smaller committee, is usually a better committee.
I also find that a committee of one, takes their responsibity far more seriously than each member of a larger committee.
But, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
