Over the years I have expressed my passion for golf course architecture to my parents a hundred times over. Tonight my Mom drove over an hour to Beulah MI to listen to two men, who she has no doubt heard me bring up many times, discuss GCA to a uniformed crowd at a small church. I'm not even sure how she found out about the event; I was shocked when I heard she attended. She thoroughly enjoyed the discussion, enough to have jotted down some notes that she would later share with me over the phone on her way home. In addition, she got to meet Tom, Mike, and Double Barky Sparky (aka JC Jones), enabling her to finally put a few faces to names and stories. She now wholeheartedly wants me to buy a piece of land that will one day house a great golf course...
This is one proud son!
Sounds like it was a great conversation; wish I could have attended.
