Made my most recent ace at TR a few years ago. It would not be enjoyable to me for everyday play if only for the 9th and 16th holes, but it's probably perfect for what it is - a slightly off-path destination course near a major golf destination.

Ah you rat finks, just when I think I'm out you keep pulling me back in!!  [Pacino (me), in Godfather III (the TR thread), in regards the forces of darkness and vice (you and Mike and AG)]

I can't say it better* than Kant's categorical imperative: "Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become universal law".

Peter

*Actually, I don't mean that. The truth** is, years ago when i first joined gca.com, I found myself wondering how and when i might ever get a reference to Kant's categorical imperative into a post....and then suddenly here was the perfect thread!

** Actually, it's not the truth at all, I just made that up on the spot, and never wondered how I could get Kant into a gca.com thread.

If you want to see quirk, originality, fun and greatness look at the Ballyneal thread.
