Some of you confuse happenstance with narrative. Golfers in a live sporting event are not contestants in some damnable reality show; there is no hack producer to manipulate (post-facto) their actions to serve what is charitably called a story. So the story of a golf tournament (if indeed there's a genuine one there, and not simply a fist pump and some tinkling piano ) will emerge -- or not -- independently of the field of play/the architecture. The only question for me then is whether the golf course as golf course, in and of itself, is engaging and imaginative and bold (in its way) and unique; and Sawgrass is all of that.
