In all the executive courses we’ve played since last fall, I’d say 85% to 90% of them were perfectly playable, especially considering the caliber of play of a lot of the folks who play them.There were some—a few—exceptions to that, but if I were a gambler and had odds 85% in my favor I’d be living in Las Vegas rather than TV.

Sure, some courses could be better. But keeping things in perspective, even the worst courses here look pretty darn good when the conditions of the courses where many of us hail from means that they are hip-deep in snow for half of every year.

All things considered, we have things pretty darn good here in TV.
We are a country of declining expectations.

To paraphrase Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of mediocrity, is for good men to say nothing.”
