Fine Golf website

Just stumbled across this.  Seems pretty interesting.  Wonder if any of the UK guys are familiar with it and have color.  From the website they say they have a 3-fold purpose:

"To raise the profile of ‘Fine’ in comparison to ‘Target’ golf
To encourage golfers to support their local Club Greenkeepers to follow Jim Arthur’s Sustainable Principles
To share information about Fine courses that have the “joy to be alive” factor."

Jud put Lorne into the search engine and you find a recent thread where he enjoyed A Round with Arble

Jud someone else figured out if you go sytraight to Search it just searches in that thread.  You have to go to the Thread listing page to search them all. Since then it's worked better for me!

Lorne is creating what I believe is one of the best golf web sites going.  I especially like that Lorne has a purpose other than touring his reader around lovely courses.  I have a lot of time for Lorne and very much look forward to dragging him out to Kington.  Below is the link to a tour of Lorne's home course.

Sean,

I'm afraid we could use Lorne's crusade more on this side of the pond... :-\ It looks like the site has quite a bit of potential and I will follow their adventure....
