Not OT - Brad Klein Yearend Architecture Column
« on: January 01, 2008, 11:44:13 AM »
It’s a new year and already I’m messing up by posting a link to Brad Klein’s yearend piece for Golfweek, which deals with – yes, it’s true – architecture.

Not to hijack this thread, but when do y'all receive your Golfweek ?  I seem to get it about a week after the cover date.  I'm a relatively new subscriber and this just seems a lot different than the delivery schedule for monthly magazines.  Normal?  Or is my mailman taking his time reading my magazine  ;)

Klein lists Coore and Crenshaw as one time outsiders.  Is there any truth in that statement as I have always considered them as two of the classiest guys in golf.  The quote:

Indeed, if there’s one indisputable trend for the year, it’s that along with Hanse, one-time outsiders such as Tom Doak and the team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw have become, if not mainstream, at least accepted within the fold as respected bearers of a tradition that has found a secure niche.

Even Doak and Hanse are Cornell graduates and recipients of prestigious architectural scholorships.  When were any of these guys outsiders?

If you are a developer trying to sell a house, they would not be the first pick and most of golf development over the last 10 years has been housing related.

Compared to Fazio, Nicklaus and The Jones to a limited degree, they are still chump change in terms of volume.

This is all stated with the understanding that Brad writes for a larger audience than 1500.

Mike,

I forgot that without Golfweek the world would have never learned of Sand Hills or Ben Crenshaw.
