  Didn't Icon say a while ago that there were absolutely no plans to do any more 'best of's' ?

  I recollect something stated of that nature, which is AOK, however, a great number of the holes in the collection have other pin locations available for use that could "mix" things up a bit for a newer adventure  ;-}

  Ya, right, and the lovely putting views that go with them. It isn't like WGT has already demonstrated how lame the effort has been so far with 2nd pins. No thanks.

  The whole idea came from wondering what is going to happen between now and next Open. Since WGT has decided to sit on an already canned course in Pebble Beach, utilizing something they already have makes sense and the 5 latest courses could really produce a decent challenge course. Mommy's optional.

  Ha - perhaps you have too much time on your hands to be day-dreaming about such a notion. But you do have a habit of coming across a bit sour and negative about most of your dreams. ;-}

  No thanks,Jim.

  Maybe you should start dreaming about TPC at Sawgrass :)

  I would like to see them scrap the best of courses.

  I just don't the feel and look of playing 9 holes spread over links courses, water, etc.   I like the feel of playing the course itself.

  Plus if developing the best of takes any time away from potentially developing more courses, fixing bugs, responding to customers, etc. then it isn't work it.
