Link is here:  http://www.golf.com/golf/courses_travel/article/0,28136,2040590,00.html

I presume that a guy who writes travel golf columns for GM will have no trouble getting on any of these courses.

I've played 6 of the top 10 he hasn't played & I'm just some 'git' from Australia. He's just not trying hard enough.  ;)

But can I trade those 2 for his 1,423?

I wonder where he got that line about FH being the CPC of the east? Was he at Mountain Ridge back in Sept.? Odd he calls the potato field, woods.

Prairie Dunes?

That just shows a lack of effort. (same with Shadow Creek) I could've swore Loren Roberts won that one. But, all I recall was his amazing 62 on Sunday.

I certainly relate to Mr. Passov's taste in golf courses  :)

It's more a list of places GM, or whoever he's working for, hasn't sent him yet.

I've played four of his 10, but am languishing some 700 GC's behind on his lifetime list....

I can't believe you represent Golfweek magazine and can get away with insulting Joe like that.  Joe is simply a great guy who loves golf course architecture trying to earn a living sharing his experiences with guys just like him.  I thought the article was the exact kind of educational piece we all believe is necessary to promote great work.  Few golfers have heard of all ten of those courses.

note:  My brother is married to Joe's sister.

I'm sure he is a nice guy. But if he wants to see those courses he could obviously go play them with just a little bit of effort, regardless of who he's married to.

It's an interesting list. It looks like he has a very good taste in architecture judging from it. His articles in Golf always tend to give pretty good advice.

List of magazine listers....

Passov in GM
Whitten in GD
Klein in GW

Who are the other writers for listing?  Does LINKS magazine have a go-to scribe?
