Folks,

Someone sent me the following linked article in golfdom about the Faldo/Smyers collaboration in Iceland.

That was one hellacious beaver.

I re-read Ran's interview with Steve Smyers and he certainly sounds like someone who has the sensibility to design a great links course.  I don't think I've played any of his courses.  He seems like someone who is steadily rising in the business; has he not had great land to work with in the past?  I looked at the website for his Lochenheath course in Michigan--it seems to have potential.  At any rate, it'll be interesting to see what they come up with in Iceland.  And what Faldo creates at Bartra Island in Co. Mayo.
