First let me thank oyu for the link Thomas as I have always found Braid's courses to be marvels without fail.
And thanks all for a very enjoyable, scholarly, and civil discussion of a very subjective topic.
I tread among Giants here but reflecting on the comment regarding Braid's limitations of direct supervision led me to recall Perranporth, one of the wildest rides I have ever undertaken and a cracking time. Making golf work on a site like this surely demands intimate involvement as leaving this up to construction crews or a proxy seems very unlikely? Isn't Painswick similarly by Braid as well?
