Furthermore Matt, I can add to JJ's post that you have missed the subtle humor in his post, in that there is one in our midst who has been known to comment of the quality of a course, after muttering 'No I haven't played it, but I saw the course, as I was in the carpark'. A gentle dig at a fellow ISGer, which may have pre-dated you.
JJ is certainly not in the habit of making flippant or rash statements. As much as he's colourful, he's informed, and considered.
