Botox makes women angry + gives them perma-resting bitch face AND ultra-left Geoff rage about the King. 1. Fazio builds mostly unwalkable courses — so you never see push-carts or cost-per rounders. Automatic GOAT status for that alone. 2. He is the OG of hiding cart paths. 3. He’s been given less than ideal pieces of property on many occasions and turned them into art. 4. He gives every owner EXACTLY what he wants each and every time - no gimmick holes ever. 5. The only people who turn down rounds at his clubs do it for show and already get their rounds for free. 6. He’s never built 90 yard unmowable carnival greens with 7 troughs for people who carry Mackenzies, listen to Grateful Dead + walk barefoot for *sick* Instagram retro pics. 7. The King never puts eyelashes in bunkers, so chops don’t lose balls in them or have to take an unplayable - which is exactly what Geoff described as, “landscape design architecture.” Having talked to other architects at length (because they love to hear themselves speak) or short bursts (because they have eccentric personalities), Tom Fazio is the funniest, most down to earth, not full of himself or his opinion, architect in the game this moment. He recalls holes in detail from 30 years ago like I can recall Jimmy Buffet lyrics. He is engaging. Sharp as a tack. Absolutely loves the game and STILL plays fast as shit at 81. If Billionaires stop what they are doing to listen to the man speak, show some respect. There’s a reason why he’s never been kicked off a project for arguing with an owner. Geoff is a great writer, however, that library tells the story of a very “frustrated” man. I’m sorry he didn’t restore Augusta to Mackenzie — blame the membership, not the King. Love you Geoff(!) + the nerds who think you’re the John Calvin of Golf Architecture.
