Maybe getting this kid on GCA will clean it up a bit

I wonder what he asked McCumber that he didn't know?

Happy New Year

Great quote:

""I favor the Strategic and Heroic schools," Cody says. "I used to make a lot of Penal courses, but a Penal course is easier to play than a Strategic course. The Strategic school is one of my favorites."

Mike,

I actually prefer Cody's earlier work     Great story..

What a neat article.  Someone from GCA should maybe get in contact with the Carroll family and see if they'd let him have a look at our humble site here.  Of course, if he's truly as GCA-obsessed as he sounds, it might be a 24/7 thing for him here.  It almost feels that way for me sometimes and I'm twice his age!

[Adam Clayman]

Reminds me of how Forrest started.

Looks like the journalist knows less than than Cody.

Ten-year-old boys who are fascinated by designing golf courses with the right amount of water hazards, pot bunkers and risk-reward holes don't come along very often.

What's a risk reward hole?

I would bet he's already found it.

Cool article!

Remember, we do want him to do his homework...GCA.Com can wait.

I did the same thing when I was 10

Think Tiger has a new definition?

Actually this kid is me about 43 years ago, but I didn't start until age 12.  I remember my dad used to get his shirts dry cleaned and kept the cardboard backing in a drawer so I could use it to draw on.  I even built a box to model holes out of clay.

Actually, I still have the doodle pad by the bed and fire off various conceptual sketches many nights.  If the dog is in bed with me, I tend to draw more dog leg holes.....

Buy the kid a tractor and who knows - Pete Dye reincarnate.  And by the time he graduates, they may even be building courses again.

Bet the kids at school fight to sit at his lunch table.

Just like they fought to sit with most of us.

He would probably learn more if GCA's waters remain muddy.

That was me not too long ago!

I thought people lost perspective when the waters were muddy.
