I'm not huge fan of "manufactured golf courses". The Robert Trent Jones style. He moved everything around, to create what he wanted, as opposed to using what was there (Ferncroft & Ipswich, for example).

I do think they did a great job of "manufacturing" Streamsong, but the whole story of how that came about, lends some credence. It surely isn't a "Links Course" but Coore-Crenshaw did a spectacular job (as always) of creating a masterpiece when they did Red.. (I think the Blue course is awful, but the Black is kind of neat, although different and odd in some ways.)

This thing about "Links" courses when there's no ocean, is a bit like calling the courses in TV, "Championship" courses. I guess you can call 'em whatever you want, it doesn't make it so.

I prefer courses that look like they just naturally arrived, which is why I play Tierra Del Sol most of the time and if I go off campus, I don't go to Juliette Falls, but prefer some place like Black Diamond.

There's some course west of Worcester, MA, where they replicated a bunch of famous holes. I've never played it, but some folks like it. Golf courses are like women. Some guys like .....

... oh nevermind.

(Maybe big doings this week, regarding LIV/PGA. Jimmy Dunne resigned from PGA Policy Board this afternoon. @radaratlas2 says John Henry's plane landed in Teterboro earlier today and Yasir Al-Rumayyan is headed there now.)

I heard Rory will be in those meetings as well...
