Must attend to Henry as well as the stuffed cabbage. More later, in the meantime, here is the teaser . . .

Prout's Neck is a charming, gorgeous, unspoiled course. Four greens are practically on the beach. That's all I am going to say in public.

Michael,

Do you agree with Barney and The Ticket that Stiles could be the most underappreciated architect of his time.....What influences do you see in Stiles work at Prouts.....

Mr. B -

Who or what is The Ticket?

We are blessed with much Wayne Stiles here -

Prout's Neck
Riverside (Portland municipal)
Brunswick (9)
Bath (9)
Boothbay Harbor(9)
Rockland (9)
North Haven (9)
Wilson Lake (9)

To this eye, which is so uninterested in golf course architecture that it did not even enter the writing contest, the courses are barely distinguishable from those of Donald Ross other than -

1. The bunkers are slightly more "flashed up".

2. The green sites are slightly less natural looking.

Michael,
Thanks for the pretty aerial and the concise but revealing
comment about Prouts Neck.
Are Brunswick and Wilson lake fun to play ?
