And people wonder why Westie and Mini Mac don't want to play there..... fairground golf with about as much class and depth as a pool of urine on a snooker table :yellow card:

Failing to see how the 17th at Sawgrass is uncool, have been there and I like the place

Purely on the basis of his rating scale for golf courses. I really dislike that!

His scale was never really meant for public consumption but rather a few of his close friends. He put the original book together for around 6 friends and then the existence of the book was leaked. So he had to put a limited number of edited to market through a small publisher.

So would it not make more sense to judge a golf archtect on the courses he has designed and worked on. For example

Pac dunes
Renaissance
stonewall
apache stronghold
cape kidnappers
stone eagle
rock creek
barnbougle dunes
common ground
old macdonald


I think you will agree that those and a few more make him a pretty innovation architect, are some of the cool? well i would say so but is anyting cooler than the sheep ranch?

the fact that it was a private thing that leaked meant he knew it wasn't cool and as a result he is himself uncool for rating something on a scale that he wouldn't want made public in the first place.

I think it was more to do with causing offence in a very sensitive industry. Is it not a little cool that he was willing to say what others wanted to say.

Not when he wanted to keep it to a group that he knew would likely agree with him.

That's cowardice in my opinion.

your last comment makes no sense as he did in fact allow it to be published for a wider audience. If you knew anything about doak you would see that he has no issue with speaking honestly and ruffling a few feathers. In fact it is surprising that you do not even know the first thing about him yet have such a strong opinion on him.

he has to be cool within the world of golf.

then why was the book something he only published to his 6 friends first and then in limited quantities to a wider audience after the system was leaked as you put it

Is this not a prime example of you engaging in a debate of which you have no knowledge of the subject matter. Read up on Doak and get back to me when you know something about the man. Given your personality i think you will actually find that you like Doak and what he stands for.

unlikely. I have a dislike of anyone using an arbitrary rating system on anything according to their own agenda.

Then what architects (living) would you put in the cool box? In golf cool terms at any rate.

GWS... Only difference is this is rating is by committee rather than by decree.

Nah, but I think Mark Clattenburg should ne added though, for thinking a forearm smash by Rooney was not even worthy of a yellow card!

Fergy is always good entertainment though, I must say my favourite part of last nights match was the clip of him jumping up to simulate a header only to see it come off Rooney's shoulder and almost hit the corner flag! Doh
