yeah, well good use of work time.

the people on golf club atlas are pretty out of control.

i can’t deal with the guys that are too into architecture. the basics, ok, but these guys that run around worshiping Seth Raynor or whatever, I can’t deal with.

the picture is Fisher’s Island, actually.

I just wasted an hour at work re-reading reviews from the golf club atlas. The people who write that are such spoiled brats, I am insanely jealous of them. Oh, yeah, Maidstone is great, second hole sort of reminds me of the 17th at St. Andrews, but you know what courses are really fun are National Golf Links and Fisher’s Island. . . Screw you!!

So where is the new picture at the top of the page from?

DUUUUBBBSS! thanks:) crushingly awesome answer. i hearted my british isles golf book selection from the “new books /coffee table” section of my local library last fall. forget the names, not the awesome images.

i would look so good sipping tea at those courses. not so much teeing the ball. is that a term?

AND DUBS, you’re my new brave blogger hero!

i heard you’d be on Mike Missawhatever his name’s yesterday, and so i listened too…and you really took control of that conversation, man-handled Missawhatever like a back and forth with BK.

YO YO…i was so proud…i felt like i was vicariously part of a great Philly moment.

this is when i’m proud to be q, q of 3-puttnation…nice job, way to put yourself out there. i would have been speechless with anxiety…

I’ve seen some pics of Pinehurst. It looks great.

There are so many good courses, it’s got to be tough. You could probably make an argument for all 100 to be in the top 20.

It would be amazing if you could bring in a critic from another world or something, someone who has never seen the courses, never heard of them and then re-ranked them.

I believe in Pine Valley, but if it was built 5 yrs ago what would it rank?

You know, there is also a computer game called Links that you can download for about six dollars now. It has many of these courses available for free download–Augusta, Pine Valley, Merion, Oakmont, Pebble Beach, etc. All created by users of the game (hence the free part) and pretty realistic looking renditions.

I’m surprised Pinehurst is not in the top 20. I’ll be curious to see if they move up after the renovations open.

so you’d fall over yourself to play all of them except whistling straits? that seems reasonable. and, I’d never heard of the Alotian Club either (assuming you didn’t) but you’ll love the pictures.

Q–Kimberton’s course is on the fabled 724 or whatever that road is about 10 minutes from your favorite Staples.

This is America and we do everything the best so why worry about some cow pasture in Ireland?

I kid because I love.

Yes, these are just American courses. There are World Rankings as well and you would see some courses from Ireland scattered in there, but Augusta and Pine Valley would probably still be No.1 and No.2.
