I just saw the movie Julie and Julia. Why would I write about that in a golf blog you ask? Good question!!! The way I saw this movie, Julies life in the kitchen was just like my life on the golf course… She decided to cook 524 Julia Child recipes in 365 days. She started a blog about it which eventually led to a book and then a movie (I do not have a movie deal).
Meryl Streep was fantastic as Julia Child and this was a thoroughly entertaining movie as it moved from flashbacks of Julia Child’s life and her dream of getting published to Julies dream of completing her very long-term goal of cooking all this food. To me it was a reflection of my life lived out in the kitchen rather than a golf course. She was tenacious in her goal!! There were several sacrifices to achieve it!! She had her ups and down and came close to quitting more than once!! And finally came a book and notoriety in the press. Like me she felt like she was writing in the blogesphere and no one was reading it, but eventually they were. It’s a wonderful story and I recommend it.

O.K., Larry - here's the hard one!
If you had to restrict yourself, with the benefit of hindsight and all the experiences, to your Top 3 courses... which would they be? But... wait [ you thought we were gonna ask you somethin' that easy?], for each of your Top 3 selections... which of the recipes / meals from J&J would match each one of them!
[And then, we'll cook them at least - even if we mere mortals can never 'play them' :) ]

And, of course, "Why?"
