Biarritz's, Redans, Capes, etc.......a comprehensive list and summary

[Ian Larson]

I thought it would be cool and informative to start a thread where we can accumulate all the types of golf holes and styles of greens. A comprehensive list that includes pictures of specimen examples, pictures of the originals, the architect that invented it, a little background about its strategy and maybe some history behind how the name was chosen.

Ian - there's a great book that has done exactly that.  In fact it is the one book I do refer back to time to time... I'm not into this whole study thing enough to use reference books, I just play the game.  But this one I have gone back to:
