Askernish: "This was and is golf in its purest form. Raw and wild."

Criticizing a golf course is like going into a man’s family. The fond mother trots up her children for admiration. Only a boor would express anything else than high opinion. So it is a thankless task to criticize a friend’s home golf course. ‘Where ignorance is bliss ‘tis folly to be wise.’ It is natural one should love his home course. He knows it, and with golf holes familiarity does not breed contempt, but quite the reverse. C.B. MACDONALD
