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 July I will be riding two stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity, including Mont Ventoux for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.
