Directions to Lake from KC/ST L

My boss goes to Branson all the time and he gave me the following directions which are different from Mapquest, but don't send us on twisty windy roads. From KC/St L when you hit Springfield MO, Take Hwy 65 S. Stay on Hwy 65 until Hwy 465 @ Bull Creek. Follow 465 West to Hwy 76. Go West on Hwy 76 to the T @ Lakeview/Branson West. Take Hwy 13/265 South to turn left on DD which becomes Linden Dr. Turn Right on Coney Dr. Those coming from AK, Jerry says to avoid coming in through Branson 'cause it will add at least 1 - 2 hours to your drive. Mapquest will send you up to Springfield which seems to me that it's way out of your way....
