My favorite quote in the article is:

"Today, the modestly stark layout ranks No. 12 on Golf Digest’s list of 100 Greatest American courses and No. 1 among modern courses (those built after 1960) — ahead of such gems as Whistling Straits, Spyglass Hill and even Castle Pines Golf Club."

Wow, Sand Hills is even better than Castle Pines!!!

What does "Volia!" mean?

What is the elevation at Ballyneal? Are there altitude effects?

Big drivers and hot balls are the product of golf course design that rewards the hit one far then hit one high strategy.  Shinny showed everyone how to take care of this whole technology dilemma. - Pat Brockwell, 6/24/04

Yesterday I received a gift package of Omaha Steaks from an unrecognized name. When I finally figured it out, it was from a gentleman that I met at Ben's porch who was traveling as guest with a separate group last summer at Sand Hills.

I was able to make an accomadation here in NYC for his traveling family. It was not a big deal and I had completely forgotten about it.

Thus, when people are making decisions about a memberships at Ballyneal, they need to look beyong the architecture and realize that you will neet some special people at places such as Ballyneal and Sand Hills.

John,

You lead a charmed life if you are worried about a couple of farm hands taking a pot shot at us.

I live 4 miles from 9/11 and my son's old school was housed in The Jewish Guild For The Blind building which probably had 4 or 5 bomb threats when he was there. Trust me, I am not worried about a couple Cornhuskers putting the "spicy sauce" on our steaks!! I am not George Costanza!

George : Why did you refuse the package . Everybody loves a package .

Jerry : I don't know it was weird . Crazy printing . I don't know who it was from .

George : What do you think it's a bomb ?

Jerry : It's not totally impossible .

George : Oh the ego on you .

Jerry : Why can't I be bombable ?

George : Who's going to bomb you . An airline for all the stupid little peanut jokes .

Jerry : I suppose you think your bombable .

George : Hey . There is a couple of people that wouldn't mind having me out of the way .
