Really??? So why did they bother hiring golf course architects. Why pay Arnold Palmer, Nancy Lopez, Hubert Green and John Mahaffey to design courses. They could have just planted some flags in a low-lying cow meadow to drain water and "speed play". Full disclosure---are you even a golfer---not play golf, but a golfer????
