These 4 "orphaned" courses I have long since wanted to see brought up to date. I am currently working Dorado Beach East (I can only endure working one course at a time) and am entertaining thoughts of doing the other three if no one else has them in the works.
Personally I would love to see new versions of all those courses, but I thought I should mention two things about Valderrama.
1. This may not be new info to you, but there is a 2008 beta version of Valderrama made by John Aherne. It is not officially released on Links Corner but kind members tend to share it around if someone asks.
2. I sent a pm to what seemed to be John Aherne a few months ago asking a couple things, one of them was if he would be ok with me making edits to and in a fashion try to "complete" his beta version of Valderrama. He has not returned to LC and hasnt seen the pm since, but I thought Id mention it to you at least.
As I said, I would love to see new versions of those courses, especially Valderrama, so Im NOT trying to say you shouldnt go for it. Im merely wishing to keep you informed. There seems a reasonable chance he will never see it or reply. If he ever replies and allows me to work on it I will let the forum know. I can pm you if he replies either way.
