Mr Anderson,
If you should return to Wilmington, NC, I would suggest that you ask some local players about the quality courses available. Porter’s Neck CC, River Landing, Carolina National and all of the courses at Saint James and Ocean Ridge (10 courses) are excellent layouts that are kept in great condition. None of them is more than 40 minutes from Wilmington.
I agree that some of the courses that you played are run-of-the-mill courses that lack character in some respects. However, a little more use of your engineer-level intellect would have resulted in your finding better courses at your disposal.

Angry-

Thanks for the response. I appreciate your pointing out my spelling mistakes – I admit, that is not one of my strong points.

As far as “ripping” your course, I’m not sure where I ripped Beau Rivage specifically. Mr. Mull at the Star News called the course “tricked up”, not me. I didn’t like the course primarily because of all of the out of bounds throughout the course.

By the way, I don’t claim to be a “pro” – not sure where you got that. I’m just a guy with an opinion – that I put my name behind. And as far as self-righteous, well, I’m not the one bent out of shape and intolerant of somebody’s opinion.

Hello Mr. Anderson,

I just wanted to point out that while you are ripping our home course over at Beau Rivage, you failed to spell the name correctly, demonstrating just how observant you are. New owners, a family of them, took over this course almost three years ago, and if you had played here before that time, you would have had a fair comparison to make. They have tirelessly renovated the course and clubhouse in pursuit of excellence and all it takes is some self-righteous “pro” writing a rather “uninspiring” blog to tear down the efforts of good people. Get a life pal. And please stop misspelling your blog titles.
