Well said Hal. It’s inconceivable that Fowler isn’t named in the same sentence as the greats you mentioned. Even if he’d designed Walton Heath alone, he should have been accorded the same status as Fownes, Crump, Neville and Grant, but his list of courses, new and redesigned, stretches far beyond WH.

Most likely. It’s 12 hours from L.A. and the game starts in 13 hours. that’s cutting it close… I’m on a live chat with the Time Warner guy re. PPV cost. Stay tuned…

Very nice write up, Hal. Is it too late for us to get on plane destined for Wellington? It’s going to be quite lively in New Zealand, this weekend and next, to say the least.

Cheers, Sean. Be careful what you wish for, because I do travel a bit and one is always in need of playing partners.

This piece wonderfully captures what a university match is like in England – much more about making and maintaining friendships than about winning or losing. I hope you write more articles on golf in England. If you do come over and need a playing partner for the odd game in an odd place, please do contact me.

Hal: I knew your Dad through the monthly No Agenda Club and he and I hit it off immediately four years ago. We talked a lot about your outings on the golf course and how proud he was of the way your life progressed both professionally and personally. He loved being with you and playing golf with you. I never had that honor although we talked about playing at my Club- The Milton Hoosic Club (1891) – redesigned by Willie Park Jr.in @1893. I would love to have you represent him and invite you to be my guest there in the near future. I am a cancer survivor, my brother has three primary cancers and your Dad did. That was part of our bonding. He was a special man. MY best to you and your Mother in this time of saddness. Paul

Hal
Very sorry to hear about your father. It hits close to home as my father is very close to your father’s age. A good reminder to cherish the time we have left. Very touching article.
