What’s the public FL course?  I’ve tried to research   Am I correct that it’s still undisclosed?

Ten courses I'd most like to see before it's over.  Assigned probabilities of playing to the right:


ANGC                     <10%
PVGC                        25%
Oakmont                   25%
Merion                      25%
Sand Hills                  25%
Fishers Island            10%
Royal Melbourne         50%
Kingston Heath           50%
Tara Iti                       50%
Ballybunion                75%


I'll be lucky if I get to play even one course on this list. Need to get to Ireland!!

You are correct.  I've disclosed all of the project info these clients want me to disclose, for the time being.

Why not Praia Del Rey in Portugal instead of the other 2? I thought it was the best course and landscape I saw in Portugal.


I have never been to Portugal and have a bunch of different recommendations there from different people.  Troia was on the top 10 ever list of an old acquaintance, and though I presume that was nuts it has been on my mind the longest.


It's odd how some people's notes about the courses sound as if they've already been there and made up their minds about it!  I should have just listed Morocco and Portugal as places and left it at that, since there are a bunch of possibilities in each.  My favorites in Asia were rarely the ines I had expectations of.
M wife is making me go to Portugal next summer and has graciously given me permission to play 3 courses in Portugal over the 10-12 days we will be there. Troia is one I will play! It's looking like the other 2 will be West Cliffs and Praia Del Rey.
And, my bucket list is way more than 10 courses.

The worst part of my recent trip to Scotland was the fact that I had to watch The Bucket List out of the corner of my eye on the airplane. I don't think I have ever seen a more cynical piece of bourgeois claptrap. They should have just called it Product Placement. I played some dreamy courses in September but I don't keep a vision board or a morbid bucket list . . . I just take life it as it comes.
