Personally, I'm in a quandary as to why this was misspelled many times by such intelligent people.   ;)

Tom Huckaby,

That's a perplexing question.

We'll have to be more careful and LAUNDARY our language.

Those familar with the work of Macdoanls/Raynor understand they created artificial features, but their genius was in maximizing a sites natural attributes. You are the only person I know who disagrees that M/R utilized natural features at Yale. And the two are not mutually exclusive (see the Raynor paradox thread).

I never commented on the playability of Altlantic, I only commented on the potential of the site - directly quoating the developer Schulman. You took exception with him too. I've never commented on the playability of Hollywood.

More examples of mis-imformation that you have no hesitation in spewing, which does nothing to further the discussion.

In the spirit of preventing this discussion from becoming rancorous and in the full knowledge I can descend to duffer status at a moment's notice (or sometimes with less warning than that), I am only too willing to volunteer to be the experimental guinea pig at NGLA to determine whether a golfer of such credentials can recognize a quandary when presented with one.  Furthermore, in the interest of advancing the body of knowledge, I will provide detailed pre-shot ruminations, play by play of my ball's career (I nearly said flight but realized a duffer can't guaranteee flight) in the general direction of some hole or another, and then a lengthy post mortem of the divergence between my intention and execution.   Use of a full blown Appalachian accent will be added only with an appropriate surcharge.

Steve,

The wonderful thing about NGLA is that if presents a challenge/quandary to every level of golfer, yet, at the end of the round, most view the previous 18 hole experience as having been a lot of fun.  And that I think is due to the genius of the architecture for every level of play.

If it were within my power, I would grant every serious GCA'er two round's at NGLA, and Tom MacWood four.

Tom MacWood,

What quandry does the "duffer" face on the 1st and 18th tees at TOC ?

As far as I can tell there is no quandary, which if you read back through this thread is exactly the point I was trying to make. The duffer doesn't need to be faced with a quandary, the goal should be to give him an easy route and an occasional thrill.
