Does any old course have more forced carries than Brancaster?
« on: November 13, 2011, 03:07:27 PM »
I was fortunate to play Brancaster with a very keen friend this year.  He pointed out  that their are quite a number of forced carries on the course and asked me if any course from that era had as many?  I couldn't name another that comes close.  How about you?

Bart that wasn't really my impression but...


What holes was he thinking of? 

I think we need a no before we can give you 'more than'.
Let's make GCA grate again!

I mentioned the aerial aspect in my tour.  I reckon close to half the holes have either a forced carry or a very obvious favouritism toward the aerial shot to one degree or another; 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16 & 18.  18 may be my favourite one of the lot because it isn't a dramatic looking shot.
