New ranking criteria

[John Kirk]

Nice.  There's a great old essay on mechanically evaluating courses called "Joshua Crane in the Golden Age, Part 1" by Bob Crosby.  I don't read many of the "in My Opinion" pieces, but I did read this one a few years ago and enjoyed it immensely.

John Kirk, thank you for linking to the series on Joshua Crane. It was excellently well-written and provides many insights into the history of course ranking and the strategic / penal debate.
