@Evgo961 @BillyGNippers I don’t say that lightly- it actually has some character and variety compared to other Fazio features and the property certainly does for Texas and especially Houston.

With that being said, I’ll add that it was the first course I caddied at- for a few years. Great place.

@BaileyDano @bschneider126 We don’t repaint the Mona Lisa cause “that’s not what Da Vinci would come up with today.”

Or rebuild the Empire State Building, etc.

Sand Valley has just officially opened its sixth course, Commons — a 12-hole, par-45 walking layout inspired by the village green tradition of the Scottish Isles.

@Weatherhack Sedge does not have different fairways than the other courses. The whole resort is fescue fairways and bent grass greens. There are a few tees out there that are over seeded with bluegrass to combat the size of them and the traffic they receive but its fescue fairways.

@gcamagazine @OriginsGolf @harriskalinka Was with a board member’s son the other day and they’re estatic with your work here at La Rinconada! Told him it’ll be fantastic when you’re done with it and a major change from what it was! Can’t wait to see more pics and the finished product, Todd!

@Otey71 @garrett_TFE I mentioned this to @Top100Rick 6+ years ago. It’s a travesty he’s still designing courses.

[Zane Ellis @StretchZee]

@garrett_TFE It will be a great day for golf, communities, landscapes and many other things the day Tom Fazio isn’t designing golf courses anymore.

@Keith_A_Robel @CraigCPratt @Sand_Valley @KemperSports @GolfDigest @GolfMonthly @MattGinella @BryanTweed16 Anything at The Gallery is fantastic- not being hyperbolic.

Best cafe around—anywhere.

Have you ever been to Caffe Reggio?

Almost 100 years old, Caffe Reggio feels frozen in time with its marble cafe tables and Renaissance-style paintings.

Caffe Reggio, 119 MacDougal Street, nyc

@Top100Rick Great work from @shaper13 for Beau Welling & Tiger.

Introducing the Commons logo.

A welcome addition to the family.

I’m glad Darren wasn’t in charge of approving Bandon Dunes, Sand Hills, Sand Valley, Streamsong or any other remote golf development.

[Darren Rovell @darrenrovell]

This is going to be a fascinating bet to watch.

Trout's bet is that high net worth golfers will get on a private jet and fly anywhere to play -- even to Vineland, NJ (45 mins from Philly, 2 hours from NY).

[Zane Ellis @StretchZee]

@Top100Rick Is it a great tradition, Rick?

[Zane Ellis @StretchZee]

@MidwestGolfJake @MattJZimmer Some more pics of The Commons!

@AidenEJK @BOMsqwad Also— Aaron judge would’ve been the last MLB player to touch the ball before it went outta play. A lot of worse balls you can get or $55 to spend!

@TimGavrich I had one I couldn’t miss with— even with through driver yips with it around 2017– could still Henrik Stenson laser the 3W. Walked in the caddy shack one day- picked up the headcover that was still on it and it the head was broken off…. Never been able to hit one the same since.

@AramLeighton8 Stock market wasn’t the only thing that crashed in ‘08 apparently
