Paul, After I learned Lawson wasn't a golfer, building it for his high society friends, I immediately assumed his intentions were to piss them off. Peronally, I couldn't agree more with that motive. Seeing how someone handles adversity is most telling, especially if you are dealing with other more serious matters.
Just so you know, I have not been to Green Lake for many years. When I played the course, it didn't look as it does today. There were tight fescue reddish looking, hardly irrigated very narrow fairways w/ relatively sparse rough. It was a very natural and evolved look. These conditions were a part of that initial impression.
I'm gratified to hear she still has teeth.
That is what you are saying, right?
