Hi Everyone,

Glenn, Leo and Myself are going to attempt some more courses together. We want to make sure nobody else is working on them and if you are, please let us know.

Those courses are in no particular order.

TPC Twin Cities.....being worked on now
TPC San Antonio......
TPC Craig Ranch.....
Torrey Pines North Course.....

Sage, Glenn and Leo............

That's very good news.
Ian

Don’t forget TPC Rivers Bend

...and my services are always available!
BTW I just found out that TPC has taken over 3 adjacent courses in the Toronto area.

In regard to Torrey Pines, North Course as I commented previously this course is only played either first or second round of The Farmer's Insurance tournament. Looking at PGA Tour schedule for 2021-2022 these courses stand out moreso than Torrey Pines, North Course as several other courses I would note have hosted PGA Tournaments for several years or for Wilmington Country Club in Delaware it is the site of a playoff tournament. Also the US Open played at The Country Club of Brookline will have a short par 3 newly added into what used to be a combined configuration as to how course has been played previously making the course already designed here in Links obsolete.

Shriners Children's Open---TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV
The RSM Classic---Sea Island Resort (Seaside), Sea Island, GA
The American Express---Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta, CA
Wells Fargo Championship---TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, Potomac, MD
U.S. Open---The Country Club, Brookline, MA
Wyndham Championship---Sedgefield Country Club, Greensboro, NC
BMW Championship---Wilmington Country Club, Wilmington, DE

Also have come across information that despite Torrey Pines, South Course that usually hosts the old Andy Williams tournament in San Diego way back to around 1970 when there was a sand trap and not a pond in front of the 18th green and has hosted a couple of majors, notably Tiger's 2008 US Open that this course barely is rated in top 200 list of best courses in the USA.

Here is documentation about the pond being added in 1975.

That would be Leo Allen, also known as Gator---I believe and not me. I tried to say Torrey North would not be as good to design as several courses I noted on this year's schedule.

We also have Jasna Polana partially done.

Gene,

When you quote other people's posts, it doesn't come out right. I suspect that this is because you have BBCODE disabled in your User Control Panel. See the image below.

Andy, Just to be clear about the top 2 options---should they be on left or right side. All looks good to me with quotes that I did responding to Sage and correcting milwsteve with him thinking somehow that I was working with Sage and Glenn by his post made.
Thanks, Gene
