Gets a pass? PV is not a Philly course?
Colt is persona non grata. He comes in somehwere between TO and the guy who cracked the Liberty Bell. And he did get his grubby hands on other Philly courses...Huntingdon Valley not to mention the very large role he played in designing Merion.
McGoverns effigy will be spared, unfortunately his elderly daughter will not....she'll will be given the waterboard treatment, with Philly wannabe TE Paul riding that board sporting very large eye-glasses, a singlet bathing suit and singing in a British false setto.
Tom MacWood,
I frankly do not find the humor in your post where you deride Tom Paul and Mother McGovern mercilessly.
First, if she set her mind to it, Old Lady McGovern could kick his ass back to Newtown Square for implying that her sonny Jimmy took all those Ross bunkers and turned them into sub-divisions! She also said that her Jimmie didn't care all that much for that drunken lounge lizard Flynn either, as Jimmy was a true teetotaler.
Second, I've heard Tom Paul sing often, and given his years of smoking I find it preposterous of you to imply that he can hit the high falsetto notes needed for proper waterboarding torture. Once more, MacWood, you jump to erroneous conclusions without all of the proper facts. Your research on Philadelphia has more holes in it than swiss cheese, frankly.
Just because you've seen it written in the society pages of the Main Line Times that Tom Paul is regularly spotted in a singlet as he cavorts in the local neighborhood, and just because he wears glasses to read and detests old lady McGovern doesn't necessarily mean that he waterboards the old bag, Tom. I think that requires a real leap of faith that you've neither proven herw, nor convinced any of the rest of us, except perhaps your entertainment lawyer friend Moriarty.
As far as Harry Colt, if you've known all along that he designed Merion, I wish you had just come forward with it. You would have saved us all about 80,000 words each of typing at each other, and we could have gone back to our more meaningful lives of protecting Philadelphia from the regular onslaught of historical revisionists, fey golf architect groupies like Whigham, and speculative left-coast liberals who masquerade as seeking the truth.
Yo...you guys want the trute? Come to Philly and we'll give you some trute!
