I'm still not entirely certain of how the selection process works, but if for some reason there are people left who wish to golf and I have a spot, I would be happy to share it with someone who wishes to play alternate shot.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

George: We're setting up a couple of groups right now, you are in, I'll get back to you when things are finalized -- probably tomorrow. Jerry

Anyone know roughly how much the home lots at Hidden Creek are selling for? You are welcome to IM me with a reply if you have a 'ballpark' figure. Thanks.  

David Tepper,

Why not go to the club's website, log into that area and make a personal inquiry, if you're geniuinely interested.

Members of Alpine and Baltusrol were kind enough to sponsor my architectural get togethers in 2003 and 2004.

Many individuals indicated that while the symposiums were terrific, they really would have liked to have played the hostiing golf courses as well.

With that in mind and in light of Matt Ward hosting a winter event, I defered mine to this spring and thought that I would try to accomodate those requests by combining a symposium with a round of golf.  The only problem was that no courses were interested in hosting an event, including golf, in season.

When I approached Roger Hansen with the request, he was kind enough to approve it.  He was also instrumental in getting Bill Coore, one of today's highly acclaimed architects to attend and participate for the entire day.

Your comment/question is in the lowest possible taste.  
This get together, like the others that preceded it, isn't about selling real estate, it's about golf course architecture, and in particular, this year, the architecture at Hidden Creek, and we're LUCKY to have Bill Coore available to discuss the golf course and answer any of our questions.  Bill is traveling from Arizona just to be with us.

It's comments like yours, and others, that have convinced me that this should be the last GCA.com get together that I'll ever organize.
 

David Tepper,

I understood your inference from the get go, and it was anything but harmless.  

If you were sincere, you wouldn't have come on this thread and posted your inquiry, you would have gone to Hidden Creek's website or contacted them directly, and obtained the information privately, especially since the likelyhood is that noone on this website knows the answer to the question, including myself.

I know what's in good taste and what isn't, and your phony inquiry wasn't in good taste, so stop trying to play the innocent victim.

It's not that I'm not going to participate, I'm not going to organize and sponsor open get togethers.  You're the personification of the old adage that it makes no sense to cast pearls before swine.

If you guys want to snipe at each other back and forth, please do it via IM offline.  Imagine you are a first time visitor to the site and see this as the first thread... (as I did tonight).

If anything qualifies as being OT this is it.

Mr. Mucci -

Your ignorance of my purpose or intentions is truly profund. For you to imply that I was somehow casting aspersions upon or making insinuations regarding the motivations of any of the parties involved in Hidden Creek or the staging this event is both mistaken and appalling. It is astonishing to me you could draw that inference.  

For a person who claims to know what is in 'good taste,' it may very well be time for you to take a refresher course.

I assume most of the arranging in being done privately, but I'll state publicly that we have four for golf:

Chehansky
Wood
Kirk
Sandor

See everybody on the 16th.  I'll try to arrange a back transplant between now and then.

Either Mr. Tepper is interested in property and then he would have approached Mr. Hansen directly or he is not interested and just wanted to start an innapropriate discussion.

It is wonderful that Mr. Hansen has opened up his club (with thanks also to Pat).  I am anxious to read the reviews on the eighteen holes (concerning design features) that is a requirement of play, I can then compare to Ran's review.  That will be an education for us all.

I am also in need of a game on the 16th. Currently, I am a rather shaky 15...which means I have no idea how I will play in two weeks since I haven't touched a club in two weeks.

Mike Policano, George Pazin and I will welcome a 4th.

These are modified from last week--

There are directions posted on Hidden Creek's web site.  
For those coming south on the Garden State Parkway and following the "From GSP Southbound" directions,

as of end of last week, there was construction on Mill Rd.  

As an alternative, IF MILL RD IS CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION MONDAY MORNING-

those coming from the north may exit at #36, follow the ramp around, make a right on Fire Rd., and rather than make a right on Mill Rd as per the directions, keep going straight on Fire Rd., follow this several miles to Zion Rd.

Make a right, go under Parkway, and continue on Zion Rd past McCullough's Golf Links (on left), straight through traffic light.
Continue, cross over English Creek Av, and Asbury Rd. will be a short distance up on the right.  (There is a small church on the right)  

Make a right here, and follow road to end.  

If this is confusing, PM me and I'll give you my cell# to walk you through the steps.
