This doesn’t mean that I believe OM is a better course than NGLA (it’s not).

I know of your passion for NGLA - what makes it "better" for you ?
Architecturally, I think NGLA's Alps, Redan, Short, Bottle, Leven, & Punchbowl holes are all better than the ones at Old Macdonald. The first at NGLA is also a real favorite of mine. Some holes at OM are better - Eden, Sahara, possibly Hog's Back(if I got to play it downwind) and many others are comparable in quality. I've refrained thus far from doing a hole by hole match play between the two courses, but just hole number by hole number a quick count has NGLA winning 4 & 2.
The experience of playing the two courses does feel quite similar, especially if Mike Keiser follows my suggestion and makes gingersnaps & peanut butter available at the turn house. 
Thanks John
I concur with a lot of that - was interested as to your take on OM v your favourite course.
Could it also be said that the similarities with NGLA and OM continue. In a cheeky sort of way - surely the lone tree on 3 at OM could be considered iconic in the way the windmill is at NGLA ? OK the later isn't in a line of play but it dominates the landscape in a similar way ?
