As usual following Martion is never easy as he says everything perfectly.
So to start with I agree and second everything HE said.
Wonderful event, great quality fo service from all at the club, food was marvelous and everybody was so courteous.
It was great to finally put faces to names from this site and the level of knowledge and depth of conversations was very inspiring, it is a reminder of how just wonderful a site this is or at least can be most of the time, we are luck to have this site and the cative involvement of prominent architects like Tom, Frank et all to help us learn!!!!
What a treat to play with two guys fullyin the field in the forms of Frank and Patrice two wonderful Gents who were so gracious in sharining their thougyts as we went around the "tightened" Rennaisance course.
Like most others oplayibng, it woukld have been great to see and enjoy the playing corridors that Tom had planned, but that been said it did give the opportunity to see how else it could be set up, as for a Scottish Open for example
It was certanly set up in an unforgiving way, but I really enjoyed the challenge of playing it that way and now relish the chance of seeing it the other way in the future.
Hopefully I will post some pictures later, but suffice it to say another masterpiece from The architect, in superb condition bar the potential of the poa, but itis early days in the summer yet, so that may take care of itself with time, providing they get some heat!!!
I enjoyed he flow of the course, rare once changes have been made to an initial lay out.
A great mixture of holes shapes, directions, good variety in respective hole lengths of par3/4/5 a real treat.
The stretch from 4 onwards is spectacular and that is not to say the first three are not good holes.
The two opening tee shots on this occasion were VERY challenging but #4 is a veryspecial hole.
Thaks again Tom for providing anothe canvass upon which we can drool, to all the staff at the club and the folks at the Duck!!!!
