Sandwich vs. Deal

"Truth"? "Objective"?
C'mon mate, don't make me laugh.
Also, you're wrong - at least this Deal homer will vote for Sandwich's 4th over the 4th at my course.

Don't lay that on me, you were born laughing.

The comparison of Deal, Rye and Sandwich will be never ending. All are more or less in the same class although I can understand there being strong preferences due the differing natures of each course. I have a strong preference for Rye over either Deal or Sandwich, but concede that Sandwich is a better course. What Tuco fails to grasp is finishing third (which Deal does for me in terms of quality and preference) in this select group is no great shame. Rather, it highlights the top notch quality of all three.
Ciao

Sean,
You're right, I was born laughing and have tried to keep it that way for the subsequent 28 years.
You're also right that Rye, Deal and Sandwich are about as good as one another, but have quite different qualities and weaknesses.
The routings vary greatly; Rye has its 3s, Deal has its shorter fours and fives and Sandwich has a great set of longer par fours that rule the roost; Deal's land makes for great greens, Rye's bunkering is brilliant and Sandwich has both great natural sites and brilliantly bunkered sites in different areas... I could go on, but you get the point.

I'm enjoying this, boys! I feel like I'm sitting in the bar at Deal with you right now!
JNC Lyon - You being able to walk from the Deal station does not prove it is a good idea for the common man. You walked Dismal River, for God's sake!!! I'll admit the Deal walk is easier, but no sane person would walk DR with the lack of walking paths you were presented. I can no longer trust you for "walkability" advice for anyone over 25! ;D
JNC Lyon:
Mike,
The routing really comes together when you walk Dismal River. Just slap on some bug spray and you are good to go! Similarly, the adventure really comes together when walking to Deal and Sandwich from their respective train stations.
