Message: [QUOTE="The deacon, post: 4159451, member: 11559"] Yes, Blakeon18, I've been forever thankful Art chose Williams over his perhaps glossier options, a couples of Ivies and the Air Force Academy, chiefly 'cause Taconic's been our go-to course around here (I live two hours south in CT) for so many years. Art at 75 and I at 72 still make the trip 20 times or so a season, sometimes combining it with visits to the Clark Art Institute (art lovers will know of it) and/or, during the summer, the Williamstown Theatre Fest (theater-goers might well know of it). I have played the Orchards twice, back in the early '00s and again maybe 10 years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. is every bit as good as you say. The 18th there is one of the toughest holes around. We also attended that women's U.S. Open in '04 for the Thursday, Friday rounds... it's a great walk! Taconic is the more difficult track (especially since Gil Hanse got his hands on it in 2009) and is always on the MGA's and USGA's watch list for hosting big tournaments. We've recently gravitated to playing a hybrid course playing some middle tees and some senior tees... a painful decision but realistic. Tony, if you're still reading, I don't know how people on the Boneyard communicate other than by meeting at games (we met at the Arkansas game and briefly talked golf), but I'd certainly welcome you as a guest at Taconic... Blake, too, depending on your level of interest. We have the Huskies as a common bond in case golf doesn't go well. Taconic goes something like $240 for a transient player, and considerably less for a member's guest. [/QUOTE]
