Watching the Donald accept his primary wins in Mississippi and Michigan.  During his speech he mentioned the Trump Doral course and said it's a "Nicklaus course."


I know Dick Wilson was the original designer, and Greg Norman and Ray Floyd tweaked, and then Gil Hanse did the most recent major remodel. 


Question:  How can Trump credit the course to Nicklaus?

[Keith Phillips]

Not what he said - he is at Trump Jupiter right now, the former Ritz Carlton Club, designed by Jack.

Assume he was thinking of Jupiter...so many best in the worlds, so hard to remember...

[Tom_Doak]

Maybe he's trolling for Jack's endorsement, now that Jeb is out of the race.

[Peter Pallotta]

Assume he was thinking of Jupiter...so many best in the worlds, so hard to remember...

And you're one of the few around here who can appreciate this. With so many under-par rounds to your credit, how do you pick out your favourite? Me, I remember mine very clearly...

That's the most charitable description of Ray Floyd's work at Doral I've ever seen-it was quietly "untweaked" in the years after-
 Greg Norman redid the White-took it from tranquil if not nondescript and friendly to awful and unplayable.Now a new office development.

Did anyone else see Golf Channel's informal survey of pros ranking the 5 tour courses in Florida?   It was in order of "favorites" and Doral finished last.  In order: Valspar, Sawgrass, PGA National, Bay Hill, Doral.

You know I'm a diplomat!


Actually I only played the Wilson original - a solid course.
