I miss a green for example. I'm already upset. When I find my ball in the bunker, I'm really upset and when I find my ball in the bunker I'm really upset and when I find my

ball in a fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg fried egg

fried egg lie I'm about ready to run off the golf course. So, What do you think the biggest myth in golf architecture is?

I would say that our predecessors were somehow much more talented than the current group of architects.

And by predecessors you mean, what?

Any architects choosing the Golden Age architects.

You know, there's a myth that they were so incredibly

amazing that we should go back and do everything that they were doing. And I still think

that's true.

Most industries evolve but do you think that the best courses in the world are the old courses like the same rankings which show?

I would say for the most part because they got the very best sites and they had no

constraints, they had no environmental constraints, they had no one over their shoulder. They had no housing projects. They got the very best sites in the world, like Cypress Point for example, and that's, you know, it shows because they're some of the greatest golf

forces but if you gave you know any I would say you know any, any of my, the group of architects in our group I would say, David

kid, Tom Dope, Gil Hans, you give any of these guys that site, I would argue that they would do a better job.

It's interesting because a lot of times people will say, well, I don't know if I'd come up with this.

But not necessarily, they wouldn't come up with that, but they would come up with me something differently.

I agree. They'd come up with a better 18th call for Cyprus point.

They'd come up with a better first call for Cyprus point. And coming with a better first toll for Cyprus point.

I think the 18 toll at a golf course is overrated.
