What a well presented piece this is:

I see the Shivas Irons Society as nothing more than an income stream for Stephen Cohen

Look like some interesting articles. The 'presentation' is needlessly complicated. I've not seen this application before and I'm an IT guy.  8)

Hmm, this GCA crowd can be pretty tough.
I don't even know who Stephen Cohen is - so I can't really speak to that one way or the other.  I don't really see what is complicated about the 'presentation'.  I found it to be very easy to navigate and to me it looks great.
But everyone is entitled to their take on various matters - so be it.

I didn't mean to be critical of the content. The actual pages look cool-retro. I do think the 'mechanism' or 'viewer' could be streamlined. But as you say to each his own.

Being a student of true gravity, I am, Tom

I'm happy to see they included my favorite article ever written about one of my own projects -- "Golf at an Undisclosed Location", by Hilton Tudhope.  It's about The Sheep Ranch, and he gets it just exactly right.

Tom, thank you for pointing me to the article.

It is beautifully written and expresses the pleasure of his experience wonderfully. To me it sounds like how the game must originally have been played. No sense of par, just the competition between people to see who could get the ball in the hole in the fewest shots and where imagination and strategy could give one person an edge over the other.

Truely inspiring, I hope that I will one day get a chance to play at least one round like this.
