Happy Birthday to Bill Coore
« on: December 19, 2009, 08:45:02 PM »
I will do him the favor of not trying to figure out which birthday this was.

But, I just spent the whole day with Bill and our Florida client on-site walking through 36 holes of golf.  I'd have to say it was one of the more fun days I've ever had at work.  Now we've just got to be patient through a few months of engineering and permitting, and we're going to have quite a project to build.

Can you disclose where?  And did I read it correctly, 36 holes?  Is that 18 each or are you collaborating on the entire 36?

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

I am sure Bill Coore will get more birthday love from the treehouse than poor David Kidd - it all went in the wrong direction after the Castle Course was brought up . . .

Happy Birthday Bill - congrats on Clear Creek Tahoe in 09 and all the best for a wonderful design year in 2010.

Happy Birthday to Mr. Coore.  I'd love to see him on this site more.


Tom,

No one will ever accuse you of not being a savvy and viral marketer.  The little tidbits keep getting better and better.

Glad to hear that after all these years of seeing amazing sites, work is still fun.  I hope I can say the same one day.

Judging by Ryan's tag line, he needs to be put on the Dye archie descendents tree.

Happy Birthday Mr. Coore.

Morgan:

With no disrespect intended to Tom Fazio, but our client would not be happy if these two courses were just as good as the two at World Woods.  This is going to be a fairly large and expensive resort, not to mention the public face of a large company.  They need it to be great.  And though I really like the Pine Barrens course at World Woods, it would not drive sufficient traffic to the resort contemplated here [which is why there isn't a resort at World Woods].

So, no pressure, we just have to build the two best resort golf courses in Florida.

Hmmmm.....very interesting.  I was on a flight from Charlotte to Miami on Friday swore I was sitting two seats behind Bill Coore.  I was close to introducing myself to see what his name was but decided I was mistaken.....then I read this thread.  Things that make you go hmmm

Sounds to me like someone in Florida is envious of the Bandon Resort! "If they can do it in remote Oregon with awful weather much of the year, why haven't we managed it here in Florida?"

I hope you and Bill do a great job Tom. That way we can keep all the riff-raff and their corporate jets out of Oregon. ;)

You know, a variation on the old Tom McCall (former Gov.) sentiment. "You can come to visit, but don't stay."

Tom,

So if the clients want something akin to Bandon, let us in on the secret.  Does the site lend itself to greatness?

Mr. Daley,

I appreciate the shout out.  I have since relocated in both airframe and location.  This youtube link is a great five minute overview of what I get to do everyday now training our new pilots.  I mean it when I say that I enjoy time on a great golf course just as much as this.

Standing offer for any architect on the DG.  Let me help dig a bunker, and I'll get you down to the Rio and in a formation.

That's nice Ben. What do they have to do for you to get them back home again? Which military golf course do they have to do the free remodel to?

That is better than my offer to Tom to build bunkers for free with my soft lawyer hands at the new course.  How dare you one up me >:( ;D
