Please join me in welcoming new member David Dimartino.

David is a rare breed....A Jersey native with strong ties to the Cornhusker state. He has recently been named the Head Professional at Common Ground in Denver, and I have already begun to lobby him for a GCA event there this year. Priorities people! ;)

David's keen eye for architecture has been the cause of many late nights for the both of us. I'm glad he is among us so that I may argue from afar as well.

Cheers David

David Demartino:

Welcome to the GOLFCLUBATLAS.com DG (Discussion Group) where every day is like a barroom brawl in Dodge City on a Friday night just after the cowboys got paid.

Please accept my advice and try not to take the contributions of some on here seriously. Some of the posts on here are about as air-headed and vacant as most of the minds of the dancing girls and hookers in those saloons in Dodge City on a Friday night. Best example of that would be one Patrick Mucci and about 98.2% of what he says on here.

Totally agree,
I usually don't rate course difficulty by the amount of balls lost, however by the end I was searching the rough and trees for extras.  Great test of golf.  Some of the most unforgiving rough I've ever played out of.

Good luck to any kids playing college events there!!

Garden City
Hackensack GC
Manhatten Woods CC

The list could go on forever!!!
