Give me a one word answer please
« on: May 25, 2005, 06:11:25 PM »
I was reflecting recently on what makes a course good.

Depending on who you ask, they may say -

Beauty
Conditioning
Strategy
Difficulty
Fun
Challenge
Enjoyment
Isolation
Ambience

What one word best encompasses what you think makes a course good?

MM
"The truth about golf courses has a slightly different expression for every golfer. Which of them, one might ask, is without the most definitive convictions concerning the merits or deficiencies of the links he plays over? Freedom of criticism is one of the last privileges he is likely to forgo."

What does it matter if the poor player can putt all the way from tee to green, provided that he has to zigzag so frequently that he takes six or seven putts to reach it?     --Alistair Mackenzie--
