Dan,So what day have the scheduled summer for this year?
I don't think you're entirely bias, Pat ... there are plenty of things to like about Town and Country. I don't want to say too much about it considering I was walking and studying the course last week on "official business"! I'm saving my opinions for the committee and Board!The history at T&C is awesome ... the first golf played in Minnesota, Robert Foulis' involvement and residency there, etc. Some of the perceived "quirks" of the routing are some of the features I found most interesting, too. Playing up and over stuff - like at 4 and 6- is an old school style of routing reminiscent of many of the great old links, like Royal St. George's and Prestwick for example, where shots were played over big dunes. Having big stuff like that in the way was "more normal" during the late 1890s than it is today. Many contemporary golfers think such features are odd.The par 3s at T&C are very strong, and varied as well. And, 13's a mini-, mirror version of Calamity at Royal Portrush, if you can image all of the trees on the left (and the cart path there) gone! Pretty cool hole.
