Yeah, the 2nd shot is great. I love that valley and the trees in it. I think maybe we're saying the same thing.

Now that Sloppy guy is a team player.

It always interesting to see which holes people pick as favorites. I've had high hopes for #14 all along, and I've always liked #12 a lot, though that one...

Another good point. People may indeed feel better about their score relative to par, but I'm not really concerned about that. What matters is that they enjoy the experience and want to come back. ...

As far as I know (Mr. Sloppy has been very good about giving me work updates), there is still a lot of limbing to do on the course, so they probably haven't yet cut the high limbs on #6.

That's...

Well, people can have fun discussing this one.

To me, the Red tees play a par 65 for Red level players. They certainly wouldn't be considered 65 for Blue level players. And the landing areas...

Mr. Sloppy, let me make sure in case I wasn't clear: within ten days I will have hole lengths for you. I would do it today, but I'm on the road. Signs will be there before the end of the month.

Let's hope so. It's about two hours north of New York and two hours south of Albany. They definitely get a lot of campers, corporate groups, church groups, etc. from the NYC area.
