BTW, John, how do you know about Deerfield?  Were you a New England boarder too?

I played in a small GCA outing with a graduate of Deerfield who was then attending Richmond..as in Spiders.  I am however a member of Hotchkiss...so my ties to eastern boarding are not without merit.

Thanks Bill, I was getting worried that you were going to show up in your 18 wheeler next  ;). Those fitted hats are nice though.

These might qualify as "good", because I know they aren't great.  The City of Minneapolis has municipal courses named Theodore Worthless and Ghettobrook.

Not a boarder, but lived in 'Sou' Deerfield while a member at Crumpin-Fox.

Bill,

How do you feel about the use of links when referring to Pacific Dunes..

I think it's appropriate in both reference to the land and style of course. What's the case for it being inappropriate?

Bill,

It was my understanding only from hearsay that the landform was not links under the strictest definition....

I don't know the geological history of coastal Oregon. Pacific Dunes is as much of a links as anything I've ever seen in Scotland or Ireland.

I tire of hearing Bandon Trails being referred to as "Trails"
