Peter...it is more than just showing more the second time. It is continuing to show more on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 50th, 75th, plays. For that, we should jump for joy, do cart wheels, and travel half way across the planet to play golf on these courses.
And when Bart says the maintenance meld is crucial to bring out the courses potential, he is correct.
In fact, that reminds me of a post by Jim Urbina. I was babbling on about how important having a complete team dedicated to achieving greatness in a golf course was...and he concurred. But it wasn't just the architecture team, it was owner, members, super and his team, architect and his team. Everyone needs to understand that course and what makes it great and what it need to make it great.
These types of teams, courses, and experiences are what us architectural nut jobs are looking for and attempt to discuss on a daily basis.
IMO.
