I've seen a few courses that have tried to replicate the playing conditions of a links course, notable Streamsong, but trust me ... they're nothing like playing Royal County Down or Ballybunion.

BTW, did anyone happen to attend the PWAC Meeting this morning at Seabreeze, that was mostly about the Executive Golf Courses?

There were about 50 people in the audience, along with a representative from each District. It was like student sit-in in Jr. High School, protesting that the new peanut butter in the lunch sandwiches, is chunky style and not smooth. Almost 2 hours of golf talk, without a substantive or knowledgable suggestion or comment ... PWAC reps included. The PWAC reps (in most cases) were woefully unprepared to discuss golf or the District's proposed budget.

At least the majority of District staff comes prepared and listens .... I'm not sure how they find the patience.


The Villages never ceases to amaze me.

The Links in Maine is miles from the ocean. Didn't think that was a prerequisite...especially for a 55+ retirement community?

The latter half of your post reminds me of a congressional hearing! Woefully unprepared and the staff holding up poster boards and whispering in their ears like a ventriloquist!
