Bottom line is there is nothing wrong with fast links greens (in fact there is a lot right) as long as they fit the design and conditions.


Design comes first, green speeds should then come second. Hence some courses can / should have faster greens than other courses.

Is it Ren-NAY-saunce like the announcers said, or the regular  (US) pronunciation of the word?


I'm puzzled. How else would one pronounce Renaissance?


It is after all, a French word.




In the US it's often REN-a-sonce.

In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.
