Thanks for all the feedback, it's great to finally hear how the book reads after having it in the works for a long time.
Craig,
Sorry I didn't see your question until Slag pulled this thread up. No submissions yet for the hole canvas's offered in the book. Perhaps I need to get the awards listed on my web site (and a deadline!?).
Lou,
I knew you weren't criticizing the CP book, I was just apologizing and complaining about something that bugs me about the Cypress Point book! I do agree with you that a book looking at courses in various eras from similar positions (aerial, ground shots, etc...) would be great. I have flirted with such an idea, but everytime I start comparing photos, the modern versions of the holes often tend to look neglected. Calling attention to that is a good thing, but I've always assumed the courses featured wouldn't like that much, which wouldn't help book sales.
Jeff,
Gil is very patient man! I'm glad that the RC chapter was of interest, I waivered on whether it should be included.
Slag,
I don't think they'll be building the Good Doctor Returns course at Pendleton anytime soon. There's currently a fight over that land and something to do with training hours and enviromental impact, imagine what the locals would think of golf there! I'm sure if they did build a course on that land, the Defense dept. would call in a big name that their pals at Kellogg, Brown and Root recommend!
Thanks,
Geoff
