Bandon, good golf but bad....

[George Pazin]

I just don't understand why that if Wild Horse is soooo great and soooo cheap more people don't go there as a destination.

Because in the real world - which, admittedly, few people on this site seem to live in - there is a finite quantity of this thing called time.

Re: the rest of the thread, if there's one thing people are more subjective in than anything else, even golf, it's food (rightfully so).

And one man's great service is another's poor service, because different people value things differently.

Bandon consists of three strong courses.
Most resorts have one strong course and what the Scots call  relief courses.
Dollar for dollar Bandon is the best resort in golf.

What I can't understand, for you East Coasters, is why you don't hop across the pond to play the Scotish courses instead of the same approximate flight time out to the Left Coast?

Mike - our man Brent Hutto has postulated the same thing, saying he can get to Scotland in the same time frame and at pretty much the same price.  Others have mentioned the same.  Bandon does remain primarily a west-coaster destination.

Or at least it should be... jeez one really ought to see the real thing before he sees approximations, as great as the approximations are.

Occasionally - just occasionally - Thomas Huckaby Esq. displays a perspicacity of practically preternatural proportion. (Wednesday night is a 'dry' night in the Bonnar household!)

Of all the quotable quotations I have encountered here, this is possibly the most surgically accurate description of WHY you all MUST visit these shores at some point in your architectural education.

Thank you, St Thomas - I am presently assembling my file for when I lobby for your beatification as the replacement Patron Saint of this nation. (emoticon with halo here).

FBD.

OK, I have rarely had greater audible yuks from this forum.  That was classic.  I can see it now... St. Thomas Huckaby of Los Angeles (birthplace)... patron saint of chunked wedges....
