As a GCA it would be nice to have something similar as a quick and dirty way to express your "values" to your clients
And if that includes "Par 3's on all compass points over all in the same direction"...then so be it!


I often ask potential clients what THEIR goals and values are.  Everyone has a different take on the best balance between playability and challenge and beauty, and in the end, it's going to be their golf course. 


I don't remember anyone ever saying "par-3's in four different compass directions". 
If they had, I'd probably have declined the job.  :)


The best thing about this approach is that it helps you sort out clients who have the same values you do, instead of trying to convince them you're right.

Imagine it's best not to suggest that the par-5's should be set in four different compass directions?
And heaven forbid which holes should point in different compass directions if a course is 6 x 3's, 6 x 4's and 6 x 5's!
