Mike,
I am out on a limb here, but I am talking about Shaker Run which was built a while ago and Longaberger which I am guessing Hills put some of his own quality time into. I understand and normally your advice would apply, I am just not sure that it does so here.
John,
I don't know what a critique is, at least not by that spelling. I assume it would be easier to be one though, than a golf course architect. You are correct the land does play an important part and all the more reason he doubled Longaberger, if not tripled it. Do I think I could do better? No, of course not, my 8-year old niece on the other hand, maybe. If Arthur Hills has such tremendous talent, why is he waiting till his 70's to use it, I see no evidence so far, unless you mean talented as in able to bs owners into giving him the keys to a ferrari and allowing him to bring back a minivan.
