It is

[Steve Lapper]

Very wise and shrewd move!


All three are immensely talented and critical thinkers seeking the very best product possible.


In today's global workplace, having several "equals" available to clients at any given time should serve to attract more business as well as produce better results.


Makes a ton of sense. Good Luck!!!

[Greg Gilson]

Thanks Adam. I was unaware. is/was that common knowledge? I have not read anything down here about Mike moving on/out?

[Greg Gilson]

BTW, I wish those at CDP & OCM all the best for the future!

[Adam Lawrence]

Thanks Adam. I was unaware. is/was that common knowledge? I have not read anything down here about Mike moving on/out?

Apparently all their clients have been informed in advance of this announcement. I was told that there would be a public statement from OC(C)M on Monday, but for whatever reason that didn’t happen

[Carl Rogers]

I wonder who will have the final word on what goes where?

The aforementioned collaborative efforts should be a big plus for the industry. If I remember correctly weren’t NGLA and Pine Valley the results of a group effort?   Best of luck to all involved.

Should the PV NGLA  collabarative examples exist with the caveat that the courses came into being, outside of the usual market place pressures?
Or is that the only way true excellence can exist?
I hope there is positive synergy for the 3.

Great combo platter of spirit, talent and salesmanship!

Great combo platter of spirit, talent and salesmanship!

The surf & turf of golf course architecture!
Maybe I'm showing my age, but don't kid yourself: the surf & turf meal was -- and is -- something very special. What more could anyone want? You get surf (shrimp, scallops) and you get turf (steak - say no more). What else is there? What else could a group of fellas (especially) need in their dining experience? And everybody loves it, this epitome of middle class luxury: Americans, Canadians, Australians, and even the British!
This is very good: an American, a Brit and an Australian, working together. 'Here you go', it's as if they're saying 'have a lobster tail with your filet mignon'.
Very appealing indeed.

A three man dream team, the three amigos, three musketeers, three tenors, Tinkers to Evers to Chance!  All the best and looking forward to see the projects which will certainly be outstanding for the benefit of all us golf geeks.

[Brad Tufts]

So where to in Ireland?

Isn’t Frank Dutch?

[Marty Bonnar]

TLA’s are so much more grammatically satisfying than FLA’s.
Good luck, guys.

[Peter Pallotta]

Ah, darn - my apologies, Frank.
I did know at one point that you're Dutch, but I conveniently let myself forget it because I don't associate Holland with surf & turf, and so I needed you to be British for the conceit to work!
Best wishes
Peter

SO happy for the se gents...their collaborative efforts are something to be very excited about...I heard the news on property at Kingsley last weekend .Surely that is an omen of some sorts.
Great news fellas
