I played it shortly before it became private. What a waste for the mere mortals amongst us, because Van Hagge did a great job. <br />If you can't get on Morfontaine, nearby Chantilly is an equally great course, also designed by Tom Simpson (minus the heather and the boulders).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-42323046570704812952010-04-21T17:12:07.641-07:002010-04-21T17:12:07.641-07:00You should try to get on Les Bordes.

It might not have the history of The Old Course or the tournament and exposure of Augusta Natinal, but from an design point it is peerless. I have been blown away, and I have played most courses in Europe and the US on Your list.

The editor notes that George was able to send a "fawning" email the club secretary. He got on this way, but only because the secretary recognized his name as former editor of Golf Magazine, which ranked it in the top 100. This strategy is highly unlikely to work for a mere mortal. George also notes that of the 450 members, only 12 are Americans.Top 100 Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16730165824981497579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-3678346332489013152007-10-15T17:52:00.000-07:002007-10-15T17:52:00.000-07:00I accept all opinions...but I think your "generali...I accept all opinions...but I think your "generalizations" about americans are going to get you alot less readers than any of those made about the French....just making a note...if you want to keep up your readership you may want to seem a lilttle less anti-american and pro-french..unless thats what your after of courseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-20643876194723134112007-10-13T19:55:00.000-07:002007-10-13T19:55:00.000-07:00Fascinating write-up and I am somewhat surprised t...Fascinating write-up and I am somewhat surprised that this high-and-mighty course reciprocates with any club, anywhere.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154956167715851929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-37109360886619283482007-10-13T08:59:00.000-07:002007-10-13T08:59:00.000-07:00No, didn't get on through the George V, but that's...No, didn't get on through the George V, but that's a very good thought, may have an outside chance of working.
