"Just take the covers off." Anyone want to take a stab at who said this and what course he was talking about?
I have just returned from what I thought would be a boring, routine business dinner. Much to my surprise, the coolest gca discussion broke out, and I'll give you the details over a few posts. It has a little inside baseball, but none of it is inappropriate. All of it is good gca talk that I think you will enjoy. (There have been threads about"gca-blank stares" where gca geeks like us bore others, right? Well this was one of those RARE times when my conversation partner just fed the fire!)
As a quick backdrop, when the casual conversation turned to golf, the guy across asked me where I played. When I named my course, he said: "Ah, a Charles Banks course, want to hear a great story about Banks?" Of course I did! Well, the guy tells me he is third in a line of four generations who attended the Hotchkiss School, and he proceded to tell me how Raynor and Banks met. He was so enthusiastic and launched into the story so fast, with other people listening, that I could not determine at what point I should interrupt to mention that I am a MacRaynor-Banks junkie... It was like a guy telling his best joke and you know the punch line. At what point do you jump in? I politely let him finish and then we moved on to discuss his course, where he was once president.
"Just take the covers off." What a great line.
