yankee, i understand exactly what you are stating. and i also know that your "bashing" wasn't that at all. it's a matter of taste on what type of course you like to play. personally, i like the tahoe ctth and would prefer THAT course to be at the top of the list. i live in the mountains so that makes sense. i love the courses we have here with the rolling hills and trees etc.
i didn't think you were cutting down on a course that has so much history and tradition but were just giving your opinion. we could sit here all night arguing about which is better, BP or KI. but i think what we all want is more variety. even if it isn't our own preferred course. :)
