There is a definite divergance in the manner in which golf courses are discussed on GCA. With the exception of Tom Paul and Pat Mucci, none of us on here are of the age to have gotten to know the likes of Flynn, Tillie, Ross, Maxwell, et. al. on a personal level - nor were we given the change to interact with them on such a forum.
