Muirfield Village is nice in the modern way but the edges have been filed down over the years and it is on a nice piece of land. Jack also did a ton of residential work over the years. Nicklaus also designed many courses that favored a high fade, which was his shot and p-oed this hooker. <br /><br />But, look up Dismal River is Nebraska's sand hills. It is near the perfect Sand Hills by Coore n Crenshaw. Jack made it too hard to begin with but softened some of the edges. Really great course and I'm going to play in a tournament there this summer. Tom Doak is almost done with a second 18 out there so I can't wait to compare and contrast.

His one non-golf book was about P.G. Wodehouse.<br /><br />Wind who came from a Jewish suburb of Boston would be an interesting figure to use to study the topic of Jews and country clubs. There is much heat but little light available on the subject today. I found a statistical study from a half century ago that's pretty interesting.

Is it a Ralph Lauren-style appreciation?<br /><br />Back in the midcentury-modern days, Yale was the home of Modernism and Brutalism, i.e. Louis Kahn and Paul Rudolph. Now, gay Jewish Yale is the home of one of the leading old-WASP style architects. Who knew?
