		<title>BALLYNEAL FLYOVER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I thought fans of the course might enjoy this quick flyover. When I was there in July, the place was very firm and fast and just about the most fun you could have on a golf course this side of Scotland.

		<title>MUIRFIELD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had obviously heard great things about this course. One friend who has traveled all over chooses it as his favorite in the world. While I would not go that far, I do believe that it is one of the best I have had the pleasure of playing and easily in the world top 10. [...]]]></description>

		<title>MACH DUNES- THE DMK TAPES III</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this third and final part of my interview with David McLay Kidd about Mach Dunes (part 1 and part 2, here), the architect refutes one of my and others&#8217; main criticisms of the course- an unwieldy routing with lots of blind shots and long transitions between greens and tees. It was my thought that [...]]]></description>

		<title>AERIALS GALORE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last winter I began a golf course archiving  project that originated while I was trying to create a detailed image of the  Yale course from the 1934 Connecticut statewide aerial survey. I was  able to create a high-res file from images on the Connecticut state  library&#8217;s website by stitching together 144 images into a .tif [...]]]></description>

		<title>MACH DUNES- THE DMK TAPES II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the second part of my lengthy discussion with David McLay Kidd about his new course Mach Dunes in Scotland (Part One, here). One aspect of Kidd&#8217;s perspective on the course that I really respect is his bravery to put a product out there that he and the rest of the team knows has [...]]]></description>

		<title>SAGEBRUSH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sagebrush was on my short list of places I wanted to get to this year, but after seeing this video, it has jumped to the top of my list. I spoke with Richard Zokol this afternoon and he let me know that USGA is going to conduct a case study on Sagebrush&#8217;s firm and fast [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mach Dunes opened in July of this past year at roughly the same time as Castle Stuart to the north. Neither is in the heart of Scottish golf touring area and so few if any have played them both. I did make it out to the Mull of Kintyre a few weeks before it opened [...]]]></description>

		<title>A CALL FOR SANITY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Paul Newport wrote an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal last weekend that should be read by all who are concerned with the golf industry. He highlights a few clubs who bucked the trend of lavish and garish clubhouses and points to them as the way to go forwards. Here&#8217;s hoping.
