They finally chose an architect and will begin construction...

Mr. Gil Hanse! The unlikely candidate but none the less very exceptional choice!

Congrats

If the golf course I'm on doesn't have a windmill or a random draw bridge in the middle of it then it's just not worth being there.

Golf isn't even a real sport, and should not be at the olympics.

The only time I saw someone break a sweat at a golf course, was when an old fart, in pink plaid pants and a yellow shirt ran after some kids that stole his ball from the green of the 17th hole.

Another 60 Mi down the crapper.

Oh, I can assure you I've done my 18 holes, more than twice. I realize my 12 handicap doesn't compare to your negative handicap.

Where and when I grew up, in order to belong to the group, as you so adamant put it, playing golf, cricket, field hockey and tennis was an absolute must, and just like you are still illuded, I was illuded to thinking that things like this mattered.

Golf is a day out for those with nothing better to do and people that consider themselves important.

I've even played a stint of Polo. No that's a sport for real men.

I'm not requesting any explanations from you, rather, once again, you've managed to ruin the party with your negative attitude. And it just so happens to reflect your regular attitude, you must make your friends proud. How can they account for you and explain your ways a dinner parties or a box social?

As for golf, I won't bother trying to 'convince' you it's a perfectly good 'SPORT'... As you've assured me it's not going to happen, thanks for letting me know!
